'The fault in our stars' isn't just another movie that you watch with a bag of popcorn and a box of tissues, this film is undoubtedly more than that. Based on the best selling novel by John Green, this story is not conceived just by emotions and passion, it is also conceived by cancer. It is this life taking disease that has given birth to the story and every single turn of event from it, it is cancer who brings the two lovers together and make them fall for each other and it is cancer who separates them by forcibly inviting death.
The story begins with Hazel Grace Lancaster, a girl living in clutches of cancer who pays even for the oxygen she breathes. The journey of Hazel finding both love and life infinitely within the finite number of days is what the movie takes you on.
The character of Hazel is soulfully acted by Shailene Woodley and of course Ansel Elgort has done remarkable justice to the lively character of Augustus Walters. The performance of the entrie cast is applaudable and so is the direction of Josh Boone.
The romantic story of these teenagers surely stabs your heart with a knife that blooms into a flower inside your ribs. It makes you believe in miracles and strength and gives you your own perspective of life, which is why I say, this movie is not about death, it's about life.
Okay? Okay.
