Infinity in a finite life.

Rating: 10/10 (27 August 2014)

It is very hard to form coherent thoughts and sentences after seeing this movie, just as likely after reading the amazing book by John Green. The fault in our stars is definitely a masterpiece, in every single way. When I first heard about it, I thought this will be yet another teen love story, with no original thoughts whatsoever. Boy, was I wrong. First of all, the book is perfectly written, the story and the characters are so real, when you start to read it, you will immediately jump into the John Green created world, and well, that is a roller-coaster ride that only goes up. I saw a lot of tearjerker movies that had something to do with cancer or illness, but I have never saw a movie that was so artistically and perfectly wrapped up in this psychological universe, which was filled with wisdom. The movie not only shows us a love story, it also tries to get you thinking about the finite life, and at the same time, its infinity. However, what truly is remarkable, the fact that it does that in such a down to earth way. Not heavy quotes and out of reach definitions, just simple, yet powerful thoughts that are going through well-organized minds.
The movie adaptation I have to say was certainly not a let down. I was really scared to watch this after reading the perfection that book was, but I am glad I watched it. Shaileene and Ansel were great choices for Hazel and Augustus, they are great actors, and they really grasped the essence of the characters. The milieu and the whole environment of the movie was very similar to the book's, director Josh Boone did an amazing job. The monologues were spot on, ad the saddest scenes in the books were truly the saddest scenes in the movie.
It is really hard to create something extraordinary in today's world. John Green, you did that. And for that, you will be remembered. You are loved widely, and I am sure, you are loved deeply. Because, that is all that matters. Thank you for giving a world some infinity within this finite life.
