Story of heart break

Rating: 10/10 (23 October 2014)

Watching 'The Fault in Our Stars' I noticed that I had experienced many emotions throughout the movie. After every upsetting scene you think it'll be over, however it gets worse. In the scene where Hazel-Grace (Shailene Woodley) is lying in bed asleep, she gets woken up by her lungs failing her, this is because she is suffering with thyroid cancer that has spread to her lungs. She gets rushed to the hospital and wakes up in the ICU alone. She is then told that she doesn't have a brain tumour but her lungs had filled up with a fluid and they had to be drained. Augustus (Ansel Elgort) is waiting for her; however Hazel does not want to see him. This is a heart- breaking, waterworks scene because of her rejection towards Augustus and her almost dying. The actors and actresses are a perfect fit for the type of film, because I read the book and pictured how they would look by the way John Green described them to be. Shailene Woodley is a strong and talented actress, you can see many emotions she has expressed in the film from her disease, and however the love that Hazel and Gus share is unbreakable. Where the film is based on a true story it does mean a lot more to the audience as this is what does happen, it's not just some other love story, it's a life story. I recommend seeing this film, as it does match the essence of the book.
