On the month's episode of Trad Reviews, we will be discussing the recent hit movie Divergent, the classic 1970s book Small is Beautiful by E.F. Schumacher, and the board game Settlers of Catan. In what seems to be a flurry of dystopian movies coming out of Hollywood these days, we examine this movie which has gripped teens internationally in a similar way as the Hunger Games did. We will take a deep look into the problems with the movie, the subliminal and not-so-subliminal messages contained in the movie, and why this movie cannot be recommended for teens - but can be used as a tool for mature adults and parents alike to see in crystal clear focus the utter banality of the teen culture today and what message the modern world is selling to today's teenager. We see the usual players at work in these films pushing U.N. agendas on everything from equality of the sexes, to women in combat, to government controlling every aspect of one's life. We hope you find this review objective and critical at the same time.
