It's sunday movie kinda night. Just finished watching 2 movies. "The Fault in Our Stars", the one I been wanted to watch since last June and "Sex Tape", the one I wanted to watch while I was in LA, I finally finished them all tonight.
"The Fault in Our Stars", a movie based on a best selling book written by John Green has been very touching.
A love story between a 16-year old girl, Hazel Grace Lancester who suffered from the tyrrhoid spreading to lung cancer with a 18-year old boy, Augustus Waters, who amputated one of his leg because of cancer, which finally spreading to his upper part of the body.
They meet each other while attending the support group, and so they starting to hangout together and they agreed to read each others' favorite novel. "An Imperial Affliction" has been Hazel's favorite novel, a story about a girl who suffered from Cancer paralled to Hazel's experience. They find the ending was frustating and so they write to the author, Peter Van Houten who had migrated to Amsterdam and hadn't been heard ever since. Hazel wrote to him for many times with no response, while Gus luckily got replied by his assistance, Lidewij who finally invited them to Amsterdam to discuss about the book. The meeting didn't go well, but they shared a romantic journey in there.
As soon as they got back, Gus invited Isaac, his best friend and Hazel to his pre-funeral, where they deliver their eulogies they prepared. Gus died eight days later, at his funeral, Hazel is astonished to find Van Houten in attendance. He tells her he maintained correspondence with Gus after Amsterdam and Gus demanded he attend his funeral to make up for the spoiled trip. He tells Hazel that his novel is based on the experiences of Houten's daughter Anna, who died of cancer at a young age. He gives Hazel a piece of paper. Hazel, still upset with his behavior in Amsterdam, crumples up the paper, and asks him to leave. Later, while talking to Isaac, Hazel learns that Gus has asked Houten to help him write his eulogy. She retieves the crumpled paper and read Gus's words, which state his existance of death and his love for Hazel.
These are the several quotes from the movie I recall:
"Pain demands to be felt. Without pain how could we know te joy?"
"Some poeple don't understand the promises they're making when they make them"
"You have a choice in this world, I believe, about how to tell sad stories, and we made the funny choice."
"Living our best life today"
"You gave me a forever within the numbered days. I cannot tell you how thankful I am for our little infinity"
Such a sad yet sweet story, isn't it? I cried a bucket watching this.
They have everything, except good health. While on the other hand, we posses our good health, but often complaining about so many things.
This movie simply teach us about being grateful with our already fulfilling life. Another highly recommeded movie to watch! Prepare your tissues!:)
