I saw The Fault In Our June 6th at 7:00 pm (if you want to be specific). It's been a hot topic lately and I thought it was important to talk about.
First I'm going to talk about the book.
The first time I read the book I was totally taken by surprise and I really loved it. The second time I read the book, I obviously knew what was going to happen but loved it just the same. The ONLY problem I had with the book the second time is that Hazel and Augustus were so wise, wise beyond their years. I haven't met any eighteen year old who can speak as elegantly as Augustus Waters. However, I've realized that that's what I loved so much about the story, how wise Augustus was.
Now for the movie.
I felt like I was watching the book, it pretty much followed the story to a "T". They did cut out the whole scene where Hazel is at the mall and reading but I don't think that was very essential to the storyline anyway.
The first half of the movie was funny, it documented all the amazing times Hazel and Gus had together. Ahh, and then the Amsterdam scene. It was beautiful is all I can say. One of my favorite parts of the book was the Eulogy scene because of how mindblowing (for a lack of a better term) it was, I think it was such a special moment between Hazel, Gus, and even Isaac.
This is a little out of order but the first time I cried was when Hazel says, "And you won't be a mom anymore..." That struck me because I love my mom so much and even though it sucks more than anything to have cancer it must suck equally to watch your child suffer. I think this was such an important moment, which was so powerful.
Ansel and Shailenne did an amazing job becoming the Augustus and Hazel.
Every part of their story was so beautifully recreated and by the end almost the whole theater was sniffling. I knew John Green wouldn't let his book be a flop as movie. I hope that people will recognize the beauty of the story and the strong bonds that people can have.
Sorry this was extremely ramble-y but I hope you enjoyed it.
Until next time,
Taylor xx
