The Fault in our Stars is based on the same title novel written by John Green. It tells a unique romance story between cancer-ill teens Hazel and Augustus who fall in love in despite of their struggling situation. The story is unique as it explores cancer stricken people and their various struggles in life as they battle sickness. I find it slightly predictable in story but still worth to watch since Shailene Woodley is giving us again a strong acting performance. Luara Dern as Frannie Lancaster was surprisingly remarkable as well. While Ansel Elgort as Augustus Waters were captivating and charming and Willem Dafoe as Peter Van Houten was effectively remarkable even in supporting act. The film is also a great travel movie, with half of the film explores the wonders of Amsterdam. The Fault in our Stars may be melodramatic and tearjerker but it is sure a moving and painfully poignant love story movie. And it truly proves that “dying sucks” as it opens our eyes and questions our concepts in death and sickness like how open we are in facing an imminent death, are we ready to accept the irreversible situation and what we can do despite of this situation. The Fault in our Stars makes us think and examine life situations that could affect our concept about life and its importance.
