the fault in our stars movie review christian

The first third of The Fault in Our Stars is real conventional. His lighthearted outlook eventually brings Hazel on a wave of affirmation as she realizes how important her connection to Gus really is. Gus, who has taken care of most of his health battles, is all-smiles and can’t help but fall for Hazel every time he sets eyes on her. According to Hazel, these are symptoms to when one is living with the type of cancer she has. Hazel is apprehensive and would rather focus on the downside of a situation than the silver lining. But, as soon as Gus (played by Ansel Elgort) wanders into the movie, we see that their relationship is one that’s fairly familiar. Hazel (played by Shailene Woodley) informs the audience that her story isn’t like the ones we see in the movies. Weber get all these crimps out of the movie’s system early on. Luckily, Boone and screenwriters Scott Neustadter and Michael H.

As a critic, I went in with openness and a want to see Boone’s film set cinematic romances on a new course – he does.ĭon’t get me wrong, the film has its generic moments. That’s not to say I went in to The Fault in Our Stars with a pre-conceived opinion. Movie goers who have read and fallen in love with John Green’s novel were looking forward to Josh Boone’s movie to see if it stayed faithful to the original print, but for outsiders (including me), all we had were vague ingredients of guaranteed yet timeworn charm. The trailer for The Fault in Our Stars gave off that cover of being “just another one of those romantic movies”. Because these films have hit home runs at the box office, it wasn’t surprising to see other romantic book-to-film conversions follow suit. Ever since The Notebook’s crowd pleasing fame, there’s been a line of Nicholas Sparks adaptations brought to the big screen.
