Film Perfection

Best movie of this year hands down!

The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.

Story: It's very simple but honestly that is fine.

This movie left me speechless! Such a heart warming, loving, inspiring and sad movie! I dare you to watch this movie and not get choked up. If you don't tear up even a little, I'd go to the doctor and make sure you have a heart! Lol. Amazing movie!

It was painful, sad story and mom left our couch in the middle. I watched it all and cried terribly. I found again that how wonderful to love someone deeply and that I do not have to be loved by everyone, which never happens. I will read the novel so that I will realize more things John Green tried conveying.

Really great adaption of the young adult novel. Enjoyed this one a lot. Funny and heartbreaking. Shailene Woodley & Ansel Elgort are fantastic, seeming very comfortable with each other and are addictive to watch, you don't want their story to end.We follow them from their meeting in a cancer support group and through their whirlwind romance which takes them to Amsterdam to meet the very nasty Willem Dafoe, a reclusive and mostly drunk author of a book that has touched their lives. Ultimately this trip teaches both of them what it means to truly be alive.Willem Dafoe plays the bad man to perfection, Laura Dern as the mother is great. This teen romance felt very mature to me because of what they've both faced. Worth a watch even if your not a teen but be warned, you'll feel kinda wrecked afterwards.

If you think that The Fault In Our Stars is just another teen romance are you in for a pleasant surprise. You'd better have a good supply of tissues because this film involves two very special teens. Ansel Elgort and Shailene Woodley are a pair of cancer survivors and they just haven't got very much time.With Woodley she's come through cancer of the thyroid and she has the breathing apparatus as just part of her person now. Her parents naturally worry about over straining herself, but Woodley is determined to lead as active a life as she can.At a cancer survivor support group she meets Ansel Elgort who has really made quite a name for himself since this film came out. Elgort is a former basketball star who lost a leg to cancer. He is so incredibly quirky and charming in this part I'm surprised he didn't get Oscar consideration.The two make a trip to Amsterdam to visit an author they admire. Willem Dafoe however has less than meets the eye, still they have a good time. When they visit the Anne Frank house the symbolism is certainly not lost on the viewer.The title is a play on Cassius's famous quote from Julius Caesar about the fault not lying in our stars but in ourselves. There's no fault here for Woodley an Elgort. Fate has dealt them a cruel and rotten hand and they have to make the most of it.I haven't seen a film move me as much since Clint Eastwood's Million Dollar Baby. Even a Medusa would be reduced to tears with this one.
