I just want to add I have never actually read the book because films appeal more to me. I am also a male and I felt the almighty feels.
When I first heard about this film I shrugged it off as one of them "not as good as you say it is movie" oh how I was wrong.
I really felt for Hazel in the last part of the film you could easily make a connection with her feelings even though she was trying to act strong and put on a brave face it was amazing the acting skills of this woman are amazing and all credits to her.
Now Augustus the wise cracking 18 year old who brought the comedy the this wonder of a film. The way he could make the bad things seem good by adding a joke or being sarcastic really help lighten the mood of this feel his attitude in this made me think of my favourite quote of all time.
The storyline was amazing but sadly a little bit predictable what is like most films in this genera but that was its only fault wink wink. The way this was edited was amazing the clean cuts the perfectly placed music added to the atmosphere and overall experience of this first class masterpiece not many films like this make it to my top 1% and this one will take a long time to get knock off I would like to leave you with a quote that sums up this film to me in a paragraph.
The longer I live, the more I realise the impact of attitude on life. Attitude, to me, is more important than facts. It is more important than the past, the education, the money, than circumstances, than failure, than successes, than what other people think or say or do. It is more important than appearance, giftedness or skill. It will make or break a company...a church...a home. The remarkable thing is we have a choice everyday regarding the attitude we will embrace for that day. We cannot change our past...we cannot change the fact that people will act in a certain way. We cannot change the inevitable. The only thing we can do is play on the one string we have, and that is our attitude. I am convinced that life is 10% what happens to me and 90% of how I react to it. And so it is with you. We are in charge of our attitudes.
