I saw The Fault In Our Stars today. I did not want to see it (this is becoming a regular thing, it seems). However, I certainly do not regret seeing it, and now I wish to read the book!
Looking at the story itself, it is a beautiful movie. It's very realistic, which I almost don't like, but I believe I would dislike it more if the characters all had a happy ending. The casting was great, in my opinion. From the cinematography point of view, there were some moments I absolutely loved. One of my favorites was when Augustus (Ansel Elgort) and Hazel (Shailene Woodley) and finishing off their date. The signify this by first showing a shot of his empty dessert plate, then a shot of hers, all the while they are having a conversation voiced over. Beautiful! I love when directors do things like that.
The Fault In Our Stars was great, and, for once, something deserved the hype that it got! I didn't want to see this because it looked overrated, cheesy, and had been done before (aka A Walk To Remember), but it was different; it truly is as good as everyone is saying, and it's not cheesy at all. Of course, it has it's cheesy moments, sure, but it is so full of heart.
I give The Fault In Our Stars 7 out of 10.
