The world is not a wish-granting factory

Rating: 9/10 (7 June 2014)

This movie is a beautiful adaptation of John Green's beautiful novel. It could be better, I admit, but it did not disappoint my great expectations about it.
Hazel Grace is a 17-year-old girl who was diagnosed with cancer when she was only 13. She knows that she will die soon, so she considers herself to be a "grenade" and thinks that her life is boring, since her routine is based on taking medical exams and watching TV series and reading (always the same book) are her best sources of fun. Like any teenager, she wants to have a normal life and friends (which she does not really seem to have).
Her life changes for the better after meeting Augustus Waters, a boy who also had cancer and wants to do something good with his life and not just wait for the worse to happen. They immediately fall in love and start living their own infinity, even though they know that "some infinities are bigger than others".
What I like about this story is that Hazel and Augustus accept their condition and even make fun of the "privileges" that they have for being sick, instead of putting themselves in a condition to make people feel sorry for them.
This is a touching and very, very sad movie. You will probably not be able to stop at least a few tears from falling if you watch it with an open heart.
