Not best than the book, but another whole experience

Rating: 9/10 (23 November 2017)

The Fault in Our Stars is a world-known book written by the best- seller author John Green. The movie was released after two years of the book's debut, in 2014. A lot of people may say the book is incredibly better than the movie, and I will agree in some parts, but the movie is actually a sweet rom-com that will make everyone want to fall in love after watching it.
First of all, the choice of actors was extraordinary. They thought really carefully about how faithful it could be and tried their best. Shailene Woodley and Ansel Elgort make the perfect couple as Hazel Grace and Augustus Waters, their chemistry is tangible. Concerning the plot, I had my worries about straying too far from the book, but they just nailed the adaptation. John Green himself kept up with the recording of the movie and that says something about the truth of the movie.
Besides being similar to the book, the movie is well-written and has nice photography. In addition, the scenarios are very beautiful and well-chosen. Also, the soundtrack fits perfectly the kind of romantic and sad story that is being narrated, and it makes you feel way more emotional about everything.
I thought about this movie a lot after leaving the movie theater and I couldn't decide if I was angry or happy about the movie being so good. I know a bunch of people criticize a movie that doesn't have a complex and deep background, but this movie is the perfect movie to watch by yourself at home on a Friday night. You will get involved with the lives of such innocent characters, who believe in love and who can fight everything to have a little piece of it.
If you're wondering about the story itself, I can tell you something to make you want to watch the whole movie. So, it's kind of a simple love-story, except the main characters have cancer and they're just teenagers, which just make you more immersed in their universe. Other than that, the quotes you get from this movie makes you want to go to your diary and write them down. Plus, along with the heartbreaking love that Hazel and Augustus live together, there are lessons about friendship and family and how it is great to be surrounded by people who care about you.
With all that in mind, I think people will hate this movie or absolutely love it, and I'd much prefer if they do love it. Maybe it is just another romantic movie, but, I mean, who doesn't love romantic movies, right?
