Above and beyond what I was expecting....

Rating: 10/10 (7 June 2014)

I have read the book and loved it, so I automatically knew that I would have to watch the movie. I bought the early showing tickets, and when I got there I was totally unprepared. It started off beautifully. The cast was remarkable, the script was amazing. The script was quirky and funny, but with such inspirational words, left you thinking about the words over and over. The last half was more intense and very emotional (well, for me) and makes you think about the mark you leave on the world. It also makes you appreciate the life you live and to cherish the time you have, and to live life to the fullest, and delivers this message through remarkable ways. Augustus' death was very emotional, but sent out a great influence for young girls dealing with relationships. I mean, Hazel was definitely sad, but she reminded you to move on, to not grieve, and to not forget about the life ahead of you. I left the theater feeling like I had to do something, that I had to leave my mark on the world. I definitely recommend this movie (and book!!) to anybody wanting to appreciate life a little more. Hope this helped.
