Continuity mistake: When Jeanine looks at Tris' tattoo, there is hair covering the top of her ear. A few shots later, the hair covering her ear is suddenly behind her ear with only a strand of hair left over it. Then the hair is suddenly back to covering her ear as Jeanine goes to leave. (00:48:50)

9.4/10. I enjoyed both the movie and book. Granted I was 29 when it came out but it got my attention. I found it better than The Hunger Games and far superior to Twilight. It's never dull, the cast is fine mainly Woodley and Winslet who I viewed as maybe like Hamlet and his uncle Claudius. One's troubled, the other is power hungry and corrupt to the core. A pretty good kick off to the franchise.
Jeanine Matthews: You're a poor blend of impulses and impurities.

Answer: It's typical for movies to delete or dilute various plot elements from a book source. The movie's running time is a factor, and eliminating characters, side stories, combining plot points, etc. streamlines the plot. The movie chose to keep the focus on Tris and Four.
