So, since it had came out that long ago, the group of friends I watched it with had all already seen it at least once. One person had seen it seven times!! So of course when it came to all of the extremely sad and emotional parts, I was the only person with tears running down my face. Most everyone was either laughing, laughing at me, or only slightly tearing up.
The whole movie is pretty much based on the acclaimed novel by John Green, The Fault in Our Stars
evades teen romance tropes to embrace more mature conventions. Instead
of surviving high school, Hazel struggles with lung and thyroid cancer.
Her love life is an afterthought... until she meets the perfect guy.
Cancer survivor Gus (Ansel Elgort) disrupts Hazel's malaise with an
intoxicating swaggerish attitude. Fault's not a corny high school movie,
but it's still dream-fulfillment with a GED. 500 Days of Summer writers
Scott Neustadter and Michael Weber and director Josh Boone indulge in
whimsical fluff only to burn it down with grief. Cancer is their
dramatic trump card. Tears will flow, one way or another.It was mix of emotions all the way through the entire movie. The parts where the two, Gus and Hazel, are just hanging out and especially the parts where Gus does surprising and special things for Hazel and makes her smile always made me smile and feel truly happy. But, on the other side, I felt extremely sad and actually teared up during the parts where they were in the hospital and the death of Gus and his funeral (hit me very hard). But the one scene that hit me the hardest, was the scene when they were on the bench. That was the first time and one of the only times during the movie wear I had tears pouring down my face.
All together, A Fault in Our Stars was on of the most nerve racking, emotional, and amazing movies I have ever seen.
