Whether it was John Green's presence on set, or the cast incredible performance, the film remained true to the novel. I can't think of one scene that was altered.
Shailene Woodley and Ansel Elgort shared a raw chemistry on screen, and Nat Wolff taking over the role of best friend Isaac, kept us smiling regardless of the tears impossible to contain.
Just when I had run out of tissues, a woman in the front row let out a loud sob, and bang, the whole theater exploded in tears.
Make sure you bring lots of kleenex.
I feel like the film could've been better. Check out my review at http://myviewpointonbooks.blogspot.com/2014/06/the-fault-in-our-stars-movie-review.html :)
ReplyDeleteWill do :)
DeleteI completely agree with you. I did not even end up writing a review on the movie because I felt there was no point; it stayed true to the story and to the message of the book. And boy did I cry. I had a headache when I left the theater :P
ReplyDeleteI did do a feature on TFIOS as a whole. If you're at all interested you can find it here: http://thepopcultist.blogspot.com/2014/06/feature-friday-fault-in-our-stars.html

Tell me about it. I continued crying when I got home, lol. Can't wait for the DVD extras.
