Divergent!!!! (because exclamation points are necessary)

So we watched Divergent last night. Yes, on its first day. I can't remember when I began liking Utopian kind of movies the same way I can't remember when I started loving to read.

Anyway, the movie’s really great, from the perspective of someone who read the book. It is really faithful; except for the little details they changed which I’m sure is done for the movie’s sake. I like how everything is how I imagined it while reading the book; the set-up, the characters (except for Cristina whom we expected to be blonde) and even the camera angles! I like that Tris is Shailene Woodley and that Theo James is Four (my god I am in love with this man).

It’s also funny how Miles Teller is in that movie. He almost killed Shailene on Divergent when he just had sex with her on The Spectacular Now. ANDDD, Ansel Elgort is Shailene’s brother in Divergent when they’ll be having sex in The Fault in Our Stars!

Okay, that’s supposed to be funny. And not about sex. Um.

However, the quantity of audience last night was not what I expected. Maybe I’m such a fan because I expected the movie house to be jam-packed with people, jeje or not. But, I realized that that’s how book-turned-movies movies start: they are initially judged by the book readers, and when it turns out to be really good, we know what happens next.

We’re about to go home when a traffic enforcer asked us to stop because the taxi driver violated a traffic sign. You know how it goes so we just paid how much was in the meter and decided to eat when we saw McDonald’s.  That’s how planned our lives are.

We stayed until early early morning talking about love, work and life in general which pretty much sums up the issues we’re currently facing now.


So uh. Awkwardly ending this post. Updates next time. This is a long and heavy day. Chowders.
