Hence, if you have long been a ‘Fault in Our Stars’ fan like me or have only recently watched the flick, and are now trying to recover from the tragedy, this list is for you. Hollywood has in its credits a string of such movies. Because there is something so intoxicating and beautiful about heart-wrenching plots that they cannot be kept at bay. If you love a heartbreak only to get your heart-broken again, welcome to my club. Josh Boone did a great job in presenting the story in a more compact and easily-acceptable way, but the essence of how bitterly painful it is to fatally lose your first love is better depicted in the book. And yet, the movie is a far cry from the book with the latter giving a more vivid picture of the rough and pathetic last days of Augustus. What makes the film painful is to know the fact that Augustus is going to die soon. Augustus reveals that his bone cancer has spread throughout his body. But like all great tales, they are meant to sacrifice their love as well.
A visit to Anne Frank house inspires Hazel to confess her love for Augustus. Their shared interest takes them to Amsterdam to meet the author, only to see their excitement gets extinguished by Van Houten’s alcoholic and crazy behavior. It tells the story of two cancer-plagued teenagers, Hazel Grace ( Shailene Woodley) and Augustus Waters (Ansel Elgort), who find a common interest in an author, Peter Van Houten, played by Willian Dafoe. John Green embarks upon a mission to showcase the beauty of first love in his international bestseller, ‘The Fault in our Stars’.
