DIVERGENT OMG !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

OMG! omg... OKAY SO LIKE LAST SUNDAY I WENT TO WATCH THE BEST MOVIE EVAAA!!!!!!! IT IS CALLED... *epic whisper* divergent (!!!!!!) Divergent is like my ultimate favourite book and I am so happy it is turned into a movie because it's just too awesome! I was like looking forward to this day for more than a month. LITERALLY!! *screaming* *fangirling*
AHHH SO PRETTY!!!
Anyway, Minyi (who is also crazy about Divergent) and I have been planning this trip for a kind of long time. We invited 14 people. Her mum and Mummy went with us to watch DIVERGENT (*epic whisper*) cuz it's PG13. I mean like really??? It is soooo for kids. Not. On the day, I was freaking out. A lot. This was the exact date and time when we went to watch Divergent:

Day: 30/03/14 Sunday
Time: 4 (Four!!) to 6.30 (Six!!!)

At 3:30, my friends all started to arrive. We all agreed to wear Faction colours. Basically, we all went online and did this Aptitude test. I am Divergent and I have an Aptitude for Dauntless and Erudite!!! Omg... So I had to wear blue and black clothes. Most of us wore black and blue clothes cuz Dauntless is like the best faction. Shannon wore gray as she's a Stiff from Abnegation. Like, she's the only Stiff in class.

Awesomest Faction :)
We then went to buy popcorn and stuff. The queue was kind of long. While queuing, Midnight Memories MV started showing... We all started singing (even though we hate that song). And we faked that we were from CHIJ as we didn't want to embarrass our own school. When we finally entered the cinema, it was already 4 (FOUR!!) and the Summit Entertainment logo just appeared. I sat in between Mummy and Minyi. Minyi and I are like the craziest Divergent fans in class so we had to sit next to each other (duh) to fangirl. She's crazier than me though...Then we sat down and started fangirling like crazy and the random stranger person who was sitting next to Minyi stared at us like we were mad. And we were mad :)

The first scene that appeared was this shot of lovegrass and a sunset at the back. Then the casts' names started appearing on the screen and Minyi was like *SCREAM OMG* when Shailene Woodley and Theo James names appeared. Then she started whispering, "WE ARE WATCHING DIVERGENT TOGETHER HEHE!" After that, we continued to fangirl... After the scene of some random field (prob outside the fence), then came the scene of the Divergent Chicago. IT WAS LIKE SO PRETTILY AWESOME!! :D And Mummy said that it was so far not bad! AND THEN... *drumroll*... CAME SHAILENE WOODLEY'S VOICEOVER!!! She was just like, "a hundred years ago, after the war, our founders divided us into five factions, hoping to restore lasting peace etc. etc." Minyi's hands and mine were like super clammy and we were clutching each other and silent screaming.

They then showed the shot of the Five Factions, and started explaining which value each faction upholds. Erudite, intelligence. Abnegation, selflessness. Candor, honesty. Amity, peace and happiness. And Dauntless (the awesomest faction), bravery!!! <3

The parts when we fangirled the most:

1. Movie just started
2. Aptitude Test
3. Jumping off the train
4. Four first appeared
5. The next time Four appeared and talked
6. Fear landscape
7. "Fear doesn't shut you down" part
8. "I wanna be brave" part
9. Fourtris moments <3
10. Last stage of initiation
11. Four was under the simulation and was GOING TO KILL TRIS
12. End of the movie (in the train going to Amity)

So summary...

The movie was just SOOOO awesome!!! One of the best things is that is almost exactly the same as the book! It's so sad that they skipped out the butter knife part. And they didn't really show Tris's friendships with Will and Al that well. And the entire movie was a little rushed. But overall, it was so much better than I expected. I was kinda expecting it to be really emo! And it wasn't THAT bad! During the climax, I turned around to look at my other friends' expressions and they were PRICELESS! Estelle had her hand clamped over her mouth, Leia was hiding behind the popcorn box, and Jun Ray's mouth was agape!! Me and Minyi's hands were soooo wet. The whole popcorn box was wet at the end of the movie! We silent screamed so much and every 5 minutes, Minyi would recite what would happen next. It was kinda annoying and I had to resort to asking her to shush. I couldn't concentrate okay? Every 15 mins, Minyi would tell me which parts the movie missed out, and she would say, "Only true Divergent fans know that" -.-

All I want to say is that Divergent is a totally awesome movie and book! The book is better than the movie though :)

Many other people left already, but we still managed to take this after the movie
On the FOURth of April (The FOURth month), it was the international Four day (4/4/14) so many Divergent fans all over the world wrote #Four on their hands!
Our hands <3
