The movie “The Fault In Our Stars” is based book written by John Green going with the same title. The story is about two teenagers- Hazel Green Lancaster (Shailene Woodley) and Augustus Waters (Angel Elgort)- both fighting their own cancers. Slowly, life-loving and joyful Augustus and sad and lonely Hazel, fall in love. Taking each other’s pains away, except one that is meant to take their lives. They decide to go meet someone who holds great importance in Hazel’s life. They grow, live a little, learn to love, have a sweet little adventure of their own. But what happens when things so horribly wrong? How do Augustus and Hazel survive? Watch the movie to know better.
My View:
John Green is one of my favourite authors, he may write depressing books but every book has a deep meaning in it that somehow makes me wonder less about ‘Loss’. I think it’s a very absurd concept. How does a living walking, talking, loving, caring, human being just stop doing all those things all at once? How does one cease to exist? Coping up with loss is one of the most difficult tasks I know. And though all his books have a small part of loss and pain in them, he never makes us forget about laughter and love. He shows us how people cope with loss.This book is no different. I absolutely love both the movie and the book. Augustus is such a wise character, Hazel on the other end is no different. Green makes us fall in love with each word he has written, with every character he made. And that’s the beauty of being a writer and reading a book, you laugh and cry and love and hate but you always come out of a book, full of joy and love or tears in your eyes and anger about the ending. I think it’s all worth it. Watch and read and grow, lovely readers, it’s a true privilege :-)
I hope you all are happy and safe.
