The Fault In Our Stars- A Review
The Fault In Our Stars is not a story about cancer so much as it is a story about difference. Three young teenagers, who are all different from other teenagers, meet, understand each other, hang out and simply become best friends.
From that point onwards it becomes simply a story of true friendship and true love- a love felt very strongly and made even stronger and deeper by the knowledge that it will not last forever.
The couple. Hazel Grace and Gus, and their best friend, Isaac, have all faced many challenges in their very short lives. But they go on picnics, read books and write to authors, and make wishes come true for themselves and for each other. They even egg the house of Isaac’s serious girlfriend after she ends the relationship! They are, after all, simply just ordinary teenagers, and through everything, we never forget this. They don’t let us.
You may enter this movie thinking that you will spend two hours crying- but in fact you will smile and laugh for the first hour and a half. The script is full of humour, the young characters are at once charming and innocent.
The ending is not the expected one. It is far from happy but yet, somehow appropriate as it answers some questions, but leaves others unanswered.
Yet this is without doubt the best Hollywood movie I have seen for ages. I highly recommend it to anyone, of any age, who simply likes a good teenage romance.
