I could never really pick just one, but for the sake of discussion I will go with:
2005 Constantine with Keanu and Rachel Weisz.
The reason I am going with this is that its one of my all time favourites, but more importantly I had never thought to look at Constantine's ability to see evil is like being divergent. His interaction with normies parallel those in the community although at a very different level and fictionalized.
John sees the world differently, reacts to it differently, prioritizes things differently, feels things differently, judges things differently. In the process he takes someone who has masked and rejected her differences and gets her to accept that she too is divergent.
I never connected these dots but I can see how the divergent part of me identified with this almost unconsciously.
No wonder I loved that movie!
