The Answer

Rating: 10/10 (18 June 2014)

It has been said that the movie is a sick love story. To me, it's a realistic love story. Love must count no matter the length of the time. Death also doesn't mean to an end. By the poetic name of the movie, stars refer to the concept of death in western culture in which death is an ultimate end of one's life. There's nothing more after one's life. When we look close to the storyline, the whole movie emphasizes the fragility of human life and the purity of love. The pipe and the conversation when Peter Van Houten plays funky rap music to Hazel reveal that love is a feeling than an answer. When people look for an answer like Hazel, they will be emotional and hurt themselves. The death of Gus can mean the end of love or the start for Hazel to learn to love, and the answer is from us. The fault seems to be the only answer of death.
