It's unusual for a film to bring me to tears. As a result, translating that integrity took great care and grace.ĭirector Josh Boone recognized the difficulty and was able to strike a balance between the sentimental and the practical with the brutal realizations of leading a sick life.
For all of its triumphs and failures, comedies and tragedy, morality and injustice. He was able to depict life as it really is. John Green was able to accomplish something with his novel that very few artists are capable of. Mike Birbirglia, Nat Wolff, and Willem Dafoe did fantastic work on this film. The great supporting actors are the film's unsung heroes. He's a master of deflective sarcasm, much like Hazel, but even harder-edged. In the words of Hazel's mother (Laura Dern), "Hazel and Gus are a cute couple." Isaac ( Nat Woolf ), Gus' wiseacre best friend who has already lost one eye to cancer and is about to lose the other, is a good addition to the cast (with his relationship with his girlfriend in the balance). Hazel flashes back several times to the time when she was 13, struggling in the ICU, and her mother bent over her, tears streaming down her face, and said, “It’s okay, honey. Laura Dern and Sam Trammell, who play Hazel's parents, appear in a remarkable number of scenes for a genre that is normally obsessed with its tragic teenage co-stars. He didn't have to do any of the emotional work his co-star was in control of that. It's difficult to play a character that many people can relate to.Augustus was a difficult role for Ansel Elgort to perform. Shailene Woodley, on the other hand, kept the film on her hands for every painfully blunt moment and heartwarming laugh.
“Our fearlessness shall be our secret weapon.” The film's spark and flash are her friendship and eventual romance with Gus, but the scenes only serve to illustrate the film's deeper emotional foundation. She meets Augustus Waters (Ansel Elgort), a one-legged ex-basketball player who has been in remission for over a year and holds an unlit cigarette in his mouth. Hazel attends a support group for other kids with terminal cancer solely to please her parents. The key attraction (the teenage love story is expertly bound to its emotional core (Hazel's relationship with her parents), which is why The Fault in Our Stars works so well. “There is just one thing in the world shittier than getting cancer when you're sixteen, and that's having a child who gets cancer,” says Hazel. Hazel's days are numbered unless a miracle occurs, and she is haunted by the fact that if she dies, she will end her parents' lives. Phalanxifor, the drug has bought her some time, but she's in stage four, and she's well aware of what that entails. Her lungs have been affected by the cancer. The basic premise, if you haven't read the book or seen the movie, is that Hazel is a 16-year-old girl with thyroid cancer. Hazel Grace Lancaster stars in Josh Boone's stirring film The Fault in Our Stars, which is based on John Green's bestselling YA novel about cancer and love. His texts are hysterical, his spirit unbreakable, his smile semi-permanent, and his driving slapstick. Whereas Hazel believes only in oblivion, Gus believes in something, most particularly the possibility of being remembered, despite the fact that he has lost a leg (and his athleticism) to cancer. “Depression is not a side effect of cancer it is a side effect of dying,” Hazel says in narration. The theme is set in the opening sequence, when Hazel ( Shailene Woodley ), who should have died three years ago from thyroid cancer that had spread to her lungs, is diagnosed with depression, which is "a normal side effect" of cancer. “As he read, I fell in love the way you fall asleep: slowly, and then all at once.” The film is about life-and-death, but on a personal scale-and that’s the reason it’s powerful. While most teen blockbusters are about saving the planet, The Fault in Our Stars is about the transient nature of your own, limited life. But The Fault in Our Stars successfully navigated that list. So dear readers!! The Hunger Games, Frozen, Maleficent, Divergent, and Gravity are only a few of the recent top-grossing films featuring prominent female protagonists. Is there a heart so cold that it's impervious to a romance between cancer-stricken teenagers who face their impending deaths with dark humour and clear-eyed reflections on mortality? Rated - PG-13 for thematic elements, some sexuality and brief strong language Stars - Shailene Woodley, Ansel Elgort, Nat Wolff
Review of the film in a word: Leonine- Of or like a lion “Sometimes, you read a book and it fills you with this weird evangelical zeal, and you become convinced that the shattered world will never be put back together unless and until all living humans read the book.”
