Based solely on the novel of Divergent a movie was made lasting two hours and nine minutes. This isn’t a short span of time for a movie yet‚ could it be pure coincidence that they left out some details. Could it have been some of the effects were to gruesome for a film rated PG-13? Or were these actions of leaving the details out more purposeful? Does it give the movie somewhat of a different meaning than the original script of the book? So it brings into question‚ who wrote it better the writer
