After Review

After is such a great movie especially when we get to see the beginning of a strong and somewhat toxic relationship between two lovers. I recommended watching this movie first as this article contains spoilers.

I rate this movie a 10 out of 10 because this is most likely one of my top movies so far this year. It has drama, romance, and suspense.

I will be reviewing the two main characters in the film. Tessa Young (Josephine Langford) and Hardin Scott (Hero Fiennes Tiffin). The After film was created in 2019 and it is a Romance/Drama film based on the book series by Anna Todd with the same name.

After is the first of the After series and it is about a young woman named Tessa who just started college and is one of those girls who has never done anything wrong and always does what her mom wants and not what she wants.

In the beginning, Tessa gets settled into her dorm room and meets her roommate. Tessa goes to college thinking that she knows what she wants or knows what’s best for her until she meets Hardin Scott. Both Hardin and Tessa are somewhat similar or have similar things in common. The main thing would be that they both know so much about books and quotes from famous authors.

Hardin is a person who has been through many things and is someone who doesn’t have relationships due to things that happen in his life and himself. However, when he meets Tessa, he writes about his feelings for her and the things that happen between him and Tessa.

Tessa has a boyfriend but is more of a best friend and they eventually break up due to her partying and also her kissing Hardin and hanging out with him. Hardin and Tessa in the film begin to bond and also begin to build up a relationship that will forever be strong even after everything that they’ve been through they always seem to find their way back to each other.

The movie is mostly just about the beginning of something strong between the two lovers and how it all started with the two and how both began to love each other and fall for each other.

Every After movie ends with a cliffhanger, something that leaves the audience wondering what just happened and what might happen in the next movie. I don’t believe this movie in particular has a cliffhanger but it leaves off with both Tessa and Hardin at Hardin’s favorite place to go when wanting to think about something or deal with something peacefully.

I thought this movie was absolutely incredible. I love romance movies and this is one of my top 5s favorite movies

So in my opinion, After is a truly amazing movie and I highly recommend that the people who read this article watch it for themselves so they can experience it for themselves.

Review of Divergent *SPOILER FREE*

Divergent is a fantastic novel that takes place in a dystopian society where people are placed in different factions based on their personalities.

I rate this book a 10 out of 10 because I personally like dystopian novels such as The Hunger Games. And I for one think that movies and books are incredible, but I highly recommend reading the book before watching the movie. Divergent is based on science fiction, young adult fiction, and dystopian fiction. So if you read The Hunger Games and like it then you will love Divergent.

I will be reviewing the characters and how and why the book is incredible. I will also try my best to give you the information that is necessary to convince you to read the book and find out for yourself how interesting Divergent is.

Veronica Roth is the author of the Divergent series, she is 35 years old and was born on August 19, 1988. Veronica Roth wrote the book over winter break during her senior year at Northwestern. Divergent was released on March 21, 2014.

As I said the book Divergent takes place in a dystopian society in Chicago, the last known location on Earth with a population. Beatrice Prior (our main character) lives in a version of Chicago that is split into 5 different factions, all of which are based on the personality of the person. Dauntless (the brave), Amity (the kind), Erudite (the intelligent), Abnegation (the selfless), and Candor (the honest).

Newborns are raised in the faction that their parents are in and as they get older they will develop the personality of their faction. But when they turn teenagers they must take a test to reveal their actual personality. The test is facing a few obstacles and the way they face these challenges will reveal what their personality is. Beatrice takes the test only to find out she has more than one personality, making her “Divergent”.

A day later they must go to a ceremony in which they choose the faction in which they truly belong in front of their families and friends, as well as the 5 faction leaders. Beatrice must choose a faction that feels closest to her personality. After she does she is sent to the faction in which she will learn the ways and make a few friends and enemies along the way. But she begins to realize that the society she lives in is wrong.

What I liked about this book is that it has romance and it really shows that the world that Beatrice lives in can be a reality. I like the characters of the book and the development that they have later on in the book. There wasn’t much I disliked about Divergent.

Divergent could be interesting for readers who don’t like reading all that much. I rate Divergent 10 out of 10 because it really is just an interesting book with lots of plot twists and romance. I recommend this book to all who love The Hunger Games and want to read more about dystopian novels.
