Divergent movie was poorly executed but I have to say intrigued me. While author Veronica Roth did not mean Divergent to be about the politically correct term Neurodivergent referring to a mind with autism like traits, it accurately depicts how society punishes people who do not think the same.

Standing While Falling
Quotation from Friedrich Nietzsche "He who wrestles long with monsters should beware lest he himself become a monster. And if you gaze long into an abyss, the abyss also gazes into you. Man is not destroyed by suffering, but by the meaning he makes of it."

Fear of a Black Hat
Fear of a Black Hat, a Rusty Cundieff film, is one of my all-time favorite movies when I need to laugh. We’re talking Kentucky-Fried Movie territory. You want the uncut version, otherwise you don’t get the Ice Froggy Frog video (below) at the beginning or the discussion about artistic integrity in Cleveland. I own the cut version (😥)—couldn’t find the uncut version at that time, no extra money for it right now, but you aren’t me, so buy the uncut version.

I watched this movie but now reading this I discovered I don't remember anything of it. I have to watch it again, with your review in mind.
I loved it and found parallels in the now.
Your critique did make this sounds good
I've not watched this movie but your review made it seem so fascinating!
I watched it but never saw it like that, now that you mention it, there will be a rewatch in my future. Has me thinking now. Hmm!
I don't remember if I ever watched the movie but my 11-year-old is reading the series right now so I see it in my future! Nice comparison :)
I'd never thought about it that way 😁
