Hey Everyone!
This week, I will be blogging about, as the title says, the book versus the movie.
DISCLAIMER: ****This is my honest opinion, and I know some people won't agree with it and that's fine. I also should let you know that there's some spoilers in here:).
I'm just going to start by saying that, all of us fangirls and fanboys know that the book is always better than the movie, and always different. So this week, I will just be comparing.
In the book: Tobias is 18
In the movie: Tobias is twenty something.
In my opinion that's kind of gross. I mean, Tris is sixteen, and it says that in the movie, so for her to be dating a twenty six year old, or however old Theo is supposed to be in the movie, is... weird. I get that it's kind of hard to find a really good 18 year old actor, but I mean, look at Ansel Elgort (Caleb prior, or Augustus Waters, TFIOS). He's closer to 18, and a great actor, but after him playing Augustus Waters, would he be edgy enough?
In the book: Uriah. What more do I have to say?
They will add Uriah to the Insurgent movie, but, come on! Everyone who hasn't read the books will be totally lost. Like, "Who is Uriah?" "Why wasn't he in Divergent?" UGH!
In the book: They know the fear landscapes aren't real
In the movie: Unless you are Divergent, like Tris, or can fight off the serums like a Mad Man *coughTobiascoughcough* , you shouldn't know that the fears you are facing aren't really happening.
That kind of throws everything off for the movie, because.. I don't know, it just does, okay?
Being a fangirl, I could go on, and on, and on, and on......
But then this blog post would be about 50 pages.
