Okay, so one evening, I was just searching for some really good young adult novels in Google. While searching, I came through the title- The Fault In Our Stars by John Green. I was curious even to see a 'Bestseller' tag next to it's name. It had almost two hundred reviews saying- the best book ever read, John Green is awesome, etc. I couldn't help myself but click on it and finally, started reading it.
I finished it within two days. My conclusion was that it was a brilliantly written book and John Green has put his everything into that book. It did made me cry in the end though.
Finally, I read some news about it after a few days saying- The Fault In Our Stars will be turned into a film. And guess what? The shooting was already going on. As usual, I was almost like a hyper kiddo, eagerly waiting for it.
It released and on the second day I tagged along with a friend at E-Square. The cinema was almost full with 90% female audiences. Being a love story, guys doesn't really like such kinds and the same happened with my male friend. He was like- It's a girly movie I guess! I told him to keep his mouth shut and wait till the movie starts.
After 2 hours, I came out with red, swollen eyes, filled with tears. The expression was the same for almost every female viewer. My friend was dumbfounded.
You must be wondering what's so touching in a movie which gave everyone that kind of expressions. I'll tell you why...
The story revolves around two teenagers, Hazel Grace and Augustus Waters, who share an acerbic wit, and a love that sweeps them on a journey. Their relationship is all the more miraculous given that Hazel's other constant companion is an oxygen tank, Gus's jokes about his prosthetic leg, and they met and fell in love at a cancer support group.
The adaptation of the best-selling novel is a poise and emotionally enticing portrayal. The Fault In Our Stars will give audiences the humor, the tragedy and overall, the reality that's unbearably sensational for a drama/love story. The performance from Woodley (Hazel) as well as the heartfelt and heartbreaking story will be sure to please you.
Here are some of my favorite quotes from the movie:-
1) Gus: Maybe okay would be our always...
Hazel: Okay.
2) Gus: They don't kill you unless you light them. And I've never lit one. It's a metaphor, see: You put the killing thing right between your teeth, but you don't give it the power to do its killing. A metaphor.
3) Hazel: Shouldn't we wait till dark?
Gus: It's all dark for Issac.
And my most favorite one:-
4) Hazel: Some infinities are bigger than other infinities. A writer we used to like taught us that. There are days, many of them, when I resent the size of my unbound set. I want more numbers than I'm likely to get, and God, I want more numbers for Augustus Waters than he got. But Gus, my love, I cannot tell you how thankful I am for our little infinity. I wouldn't trade it for the world. You gave me a forever within the numbered days, and I'm grateful.
