The
Fault in Our Stars came out in early June of 2014 and was based off of the bestselling
young adult novel by John Green. The
Fault in Our Stars is about a girl named Hazel Grace Lancaster who was diagnosed
with cancer. She’s young, cynical, and broken, afraid of connecting with others
for fear she’ll hurt them in the end too. She keeps this up until Augustus
Waters is able to break through the barriers that she put up around herself.
Augustus is now cancer free, but understands the pain and struggle that Hazel
feels. The story revolves around their relationship as it starts as friendship
and turns into something more. From first glance, this film has all of the
criteria to be a typical cheesy teenage “sick flick”, but this film manages to
be more than that. Through phenomenal acting, and a wonderful script this film
is able to touch the hearts of its audience as it delves into the struggles of
cancer, the brevity of life, and love.
