Amazing film. Worth watching.

Rating: 8/10 (20 November 2015)

The Fault in Our Stars is one of the best movies I have ever seen; the 126 minutes is worthwhile. It is one of the most captivating, most romantic, not to mention incredibly hilarious, as well. I was initially skeptical about what the book had to offer, but I stand corrected. Immediately after finishing the book, I went on to watch the film, and to be completely honest, I was not completely disappointed.
I was immensely touched by the scenes of this film, how perfectly it has adapted from the book. This movie is by far one of the most realistic films I have watched reflecting upon how life is not what you anticipate it to always be; wishes don't always come true (reference in the film, "The world is not a wish-granting factory) and each and every single person should live their lives to the fullest (before it is too late). The Fault in Our Stars has broadened my perspective of this world, and of how invaluable life is.
A sorrowful ending indeed, leaving many of us in tears, but just like 'An Imperial Affliction', John Green did leave to us many mysteries in which we will never be able to find out (that is if John Green is similar to that of Van Houten, which I highly doubt) Although, I had my reasons as to why I only gave this an 8/10. One of the main reasons (which you all may find somewhat trivial) is that the characters in the film were not what I had initially imagined them to be like. Isaac should have been uglier, don't you think? What happened to all the things that were described in the film, like having too big pupils? And leaving out parts which I found somewhat significant, such as Augustus' deceased ex-girlfriend.
I also wanted more scenes to the time when Gus passed away. If you're going to make this film sad, why not make everyone cry their eyes out? All in all, it was an amazing film, regardless of the issues I may have had with it.
