The Fault In Our Stars



The other day I went to the cinema to go and see the film 'The Fault In Our Stars' (which I'll refer to as 'TFIOS' for typing purposes.) 

I'll start by saying that I LOVED the film so much and they definitely did the book justice.

I read the book a few months ago and I really enjoyed it. I didn't cry at the book, but obviously, I still found it sad and if you haven't read it I would definitely recommend it. As a brief summary, It's about a girl called Hazel who has cancer. Her parents encourage her to attend support group and she ends up meeting Augustus Waters. Basically the ending is very sad, but I won't give anything away (apart from in the next paragraph so maybe don't read that if you don't wanna know what happens!)

I think the film is amazing, because, even though it is a sad film, they manage to make it funny at the same time! Just as you're about to cry, something will make you laugh! I think Ansel and Shailene were great in the film! The one thing that disappointed me was that they missed quite a lot from the book (when Hazel went shopping, the airport etc.) However, the film worked well as it was and I can't stress how much I want to watch it again! Now onto the ending... The first part where the film gets particularly sad is when Augustus tells Hazel that he has cancer. This is actually quite a way from the end so I just sat there willing myself not to cry! As the film gets closer to the end, it gets sadder, but even then there are still funny parts, especially at the pre-funeral. 

When Augustus died and the film began to end, there was not a dry eye in the cinema! I definitely think you should watch this if you haven't already, because it's just awesome!
