My overall review on TFIOS - the movie - BEWARE: SPOILER ALERT. IF YOU KEEP READING AND THEN RANT IN THE COMMENTS, YOU ARE IMPAIRED.
Adios Wittians. I recently, okay an hour ago, went to the movies to see The Fault In Our Stars, based on the book by John Green. I have read the book millions of times and I was so excited to see the movie. Or so I thought. So like 3 minutes before they let us into the theater, I decided that it was too much for me, so I basically had an emotional breakdown in the foyer of the movie theater. It was quite the scene and lasted for several minutes after which I eventually managed to somehow pick myself up, grab my food and enter the theater. We were in pretty good seats and I sat through the trailers and adds not knowing what I was about to watch and what effect it was going to have on my life. So by the time the movie started I had eaten half my snacks, but yeah I didn't put out a very big spread for such a long movie, and for those of you wondering, it's a few hours. So the movie started with Hazel and all and it was all pretty happy, well not happy but y'know, what passes for happy in a tearjerking love story about two cancer patients. So I didn't really start crying until the scene where they're both talking to eachother on the phone and they put the 'Okay' thing into action. It was just a few tears and it stopped pretty soon after it started. If you were wondering, yes, I was pyschotically mouthing the script to most of the first quarter of the movie. So we move on to the scene in Amsterdam where they go to this 'Van Houten' guys house. Yes, he really is a colossal bum. You felt like punching him through most of this part. But it was quite hilarious where Hazel got all fiesty and had a go at him, in which I laughed in a way that might remind you of a dying walrus crossed with a mentally unstable fish. Moving on to after this, the sad quarter of the movie basically starts after here. So you don't get like in the book with the problems with Gus on the plane, you actually don't see that at all. So we skip forward to the gas station scene and Hazel gets the call from Gus I'm presuming in the early hours of the morning, and Hazel rushes to him. So he is really not doing good in this scene, and I started crying quite heavily in this part because I knew what was going to happen. He throws up a bit of stuff and I was too upset to say something obnoxious like 'ew'. So I notice that this review is getting very long. But again, it was a long movie. So we're at the hospital and half the theater was crying by now, and I was wailing like some thing idek okay so we're in the hospital, and Hazel isn't allowed in to see him. I'm going to skip ahead to the next part where Gus is out of hospital for his 'pre-funeral' thing. So Hazel and Gus and Issac are in the 'Literal heart of Jesus' (I mean where else) and Issac starts with his speech. So Gus interupts him in the first minute of his quite insulting speech, well, the start is a bit insulting but adorable too. So he said that when doctors come to his door with robotic eyes in the future, he is going to refuse to take them, because he doesn't want to see a world without Gus. I was literally bawling by now and I have to skip a lot because this is so long omf. So in Hazel's speech it was all very sad and then we skip ahead to the final descent of Augustus Waters. The voiceover of Hazel simply stated what time he died and all. Everyone cried. A lot. The ending scene is really the saddest in my opinion, and basically if you end up crying like I did near the end, get out of there before someone can ask you if you're okay, because heck, if you're like me, your response will be to lie on the ground in a ball sobbing and rolling around like a mentally unstable potato. So Hazel gets a letter which she thinks is from Van Houten, but is actually Gus' final words for Hazel. It was literally so sad omg. Then they read the last bit of the letter on the grass fields you see a lot of the trailer in, and the last words of the film, to my dispair, were 'Okay'. Okay. OKAY. oKAY. OF ALL WORDS WHY OKAY OMG. So the last song is All Of The Stars By Ed Sheeraannnn. Yey. I didn't hear all of it this time bc I had to get out of there before too many people saw my red racoon eyes. There are lots of great songs on the movie and the soundtrack, including Not About Angels by Birdy which is displayed very well in the scene where Hazel is driving home from Gus' funeral and I couldn't stop crying. All in all, this is one amazing film. There were moments where the entire theater were smiling ear to ear, and there were moments when the entire theater were crying. It's an emotional rollercoaster that you have to ride to believe. Rating: 5 out of 5. You will most likely defs love it.
