Powerful

Rating: 9/10 (7 June 2014)

The Fault in our Stars (or Tfios), is a faithful adaptation of the book by John Green. Green was inspired to write the book after working in a hospital setting with sick children and young adults, when he was contemplating being a chaplain.
Tfios, like the book, shows cancer patients as your everyday person, not as just victims of misfortune. This movie had two strong lead actors portraying Augustus and Hazel.The actress who played Hazel's performance is especially memorable.
Though the third act dragged (as some critics agrees) a little, it was so minimal. At no point during the 2 hours+ length was this movie dull. The movie has enough comedic touches to give a delightful viewing, with also a lot of highly emotionally-charged scenes. It really shows a realistic inside view of people who live their lives with a "foot in the grave".
The love story is central. It is really incredible that these situation surely happens in real life; where two people with highly limited life spans find each other and are meant for each other, as compared to people that are healthy and live a long time that may never find or appreciate that kind of love.
The movie is powerful. It is hard not to be emotionally affected, and moved by it. I highly recommend it.
