The Fault in Our Stars (2014)

i know i wasted 90 mins of my life.

How sad is this?

There are moments that feel comical, some horrific, and some downright inspiring but the tonal shifts hardly matter as the end results come to a film that's perfect for this time.

The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

Oh my gosh how on earth did a movie this bad get a rating so high.. I swear I am losing trust in the IMDB rating.. where do I start .. the Hazel thing was so unlikable.. so flat, unbelievable .. not for one second did I believe that she went through any pain.. let alone cancer ! The boy is so polished and perfect looking that he is not believable as a normal guy .. let alone an amputee ! And a cancer survivor!? And assuming he is virgin is just .. crazy at best ! The storyline is so fictional you can't engage ! Yeah right he gave his wish to a girl he didn't even kiss yet .. the doctor said A CLEAR NO , yet her mother took her .. despite the fact that she went to the emergency room shortly before that ! Am a mother and would never approve this . And as if it couybe crazier, they add the rude author thing .. who on the face of the earth talks like this to a sick girl who is enthusiastic about his book !?? And we never learn why ?! And if hebis so crazy why just why did the woman invite them ? And couldn't she at least moved the messy mail minutes before they came ? No just NO! And then they kiss , and people clap ? Why just why , then there was the love scene which was so boring I checked my instagram.. then the guy ( who doesn't have a single scratch on his face or not even a black under his eyes , not even a tired face) decides to tell her he is dying (despite looking strangly alive and spotless) .. she cries with artificial tears .. I have been in a cancer hospital, I have seen cancer patients.. I have seen people in pain, people dying .. They look nothing like that .. they talk nothing like that .. they are deep and painful to just deal with ..oh I can go on but I don't have time for this rubbish and it already stole two precious hours of my time.. its just that it was so bad I felt responsible to add my voice to those who have a sound mind !!! ..

When you first watch it, it seems like a perfectly harmless and sad tale...but look a little deeper. I mean first of all, cancer-stricken teens are not this HOT. And why is their death being romanticized? and why do they KISS IN THE ANNE FRANK HOUSE???? Sorry but you can do whatever you want to your fictional sick people, but Anne was a real person, and she wasn't sick, she was murdered, and using her memory as the BACKDROP for a romantic moment is disgusting. And why does everyone in the museum clap? So bizarre, borderline offensive, totally bland white people weepy.

This film is a masterpiece because the story is profound and moving. The main carathers are awesome and their love story is very interesting... In one word, this film is EXCEPTIONAL.

A terminally ill girl suffering from lung cancer meets a boy with a very difficult condition of his own who is about to change her life forever. A very close friendship is born between the two but it will not remain as such for long. As they spend more time together and understand each other's situation, their relation evolves, making the final part of their life more than bearable. As a final wish, he takes her to Amsterdam to visit the author of her favorite book but their adventure will not be without obstacles as illness never sleeps.It's a movie which follows the lives of two teens, deeply traumatized by their condition, who manage to find comfort in each other's arms, struggling every day not to lose faith. Their drama is presented in great detail, from the moment they first met, going all the way to Amsterdam in search of answers regarding their book. We're faced with two very complex characters, very well designed and described, not to say how they're excellently played by their respective actors, who transmit a plethora of emotions, making themselves extremely pleasant throughout the movie, despite their illness. You're bound to burst into tears many times throughout, as you'll find it extremely hard to see their struggle.The plot is very well designed, managing not to be predictable or linear, bringing something new and quite unexpected with every occasion it gets. The unique atmosphere it creates simply draws you into it, keeping you attracted, interested and curious about the faith of the two. It generates plenty of drama and thrill along the way, but also raises the mood and even makes you laugh once in a while. The end to their story is as unexpected as it is tragic and sentimental, but in a good way. I cannot express the emotions I felt during this movie, every single word simply being insufficient in providing any explanation.Overall, it is very dramatic but at the same time it brings laughter when you least expect it and romance in its purest way. This movie can cause a lot of tears but it will also bring warmth in one's soul if he or she lets it. It's simply breath taking in every aspect, from its gorgeous story to its presentation, cast and finale. Make sure you don't miss this wonderful masterpiece!
