hi there!
one of the last movies i saw was the fault in our stars taken of a bestseller written by John Green. So this movie and also a book can melt even the cold heart. In this film, two characters interested me and those were Hazel and Augustus. Considering they both have shared the same experience of a life threatening illness, I loved how they both immediately related to each other but had that feeling in the back of their minds that they could hurt each other due to their illness suddenly reappearing. Augustus, in this film for me was the ghost of reasoning as he always used funny metaphors and similes to explain his life story. Hazel immediately understanding them shows the bond these two characters have. Hazel is the shy teen who hasn’t had the chance to be her own person due to her parents constantly worrying about something happening to her. She is the realist in this film and is very down to earth whilst Augustus likes to live on the edge which later links to because he knows he is dying which definitely surprises the audience.
The cinematography in this film was very fast paced considering the film is about a slow building love story. However, it worked in a way that opposed all laws of cinematography. I didn’t think that shots lasting no more than approximately two seconds most of the time in this film could match this genre but with everything going on with the trip to Amsterdam and showing the life they both live, it was the only technique they could use and the director pulled it off well. The use of close up shots are extremely vital in my opinion to the romantic drama genre as facial expressions are what connect the audience to the condition of the character which is indeed the director’s intentions as well as it helping the film improve in quality. The Fault in Our Stars captures Hazel’s facial expressions which indulge the screen, leaving the audience no choice but to feel the emotion given off from it which I particularly enjoyed about the framework in this film.
