Their love\u00a0tugs on your heart strings at the beginning then pulls them a little further every few scenes.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Shailene Woodley and Ansel Elgort have brilliant chemistry\u00a0as they\u00a0also star in the Divergent series together. It doesn&#8217;t\u00a0feel forced or too rushed and their relationship is paced respectively for a young adult film.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">The story follows\u00a0Hazel Grace as she is\u00a0diagnosed with cancer at age 13. Her companion throughout her life is her oxygen tank; supporting her wherever she goes. However, that is\u00a0until Augustus Waters shows up at a support group meeting. Naturally, they fall in love.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\">&#8220;I fell in love with him like falling asleep; slowly, then all at once.&#8221;<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Augustus Waters&#8217; affection for Hazel seemed almost unstoppable and slightly cheesy, as expected of a movie boyfriend in a YA film. The character that Ansel portrays\u00a0is often flamboyant and somewhat attention stealing, but Woodley&#8217;s portrayal of Hazel is nothing short of brilliant, embodying Hazel like I imagined her to be.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><iframe title=\"The Fault In Our Stars | Official Trailer [HD] | 20th Century FOX\" width=\"750\" height=\"422\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/9ItBvH5J6ss?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">The film plays on the themes of death, pain, love and hope, with the characters often showing their anger towards the lives that fate has handed to them.\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"color: #000000; line-height: 1.5;\">Comedic relief is found in Nat Wolf who plays Augustus&#8217; friend Isaac. Though he has a small part in the film, Wolf acts well and the audience laughed at the right times.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\">&#8220;They don&#8217;t kill you unless you light them. And I&#8217;ve never lit one. It&#8217;s a metaphor, see: You put the killing thing right between your teeth, but you don&#8217;t give it the power to do its killing. A metaphor.&#8221;<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Hazel and Augustus&#8217; relationship eventually takes them to Amsterdam,\u00a0in search of answers from the author of their favourite book. Eventually leaving disappointed and angry, Augustus&#8217; revelation spirals the film into the last and final act which is followed\u00a0by nothing but tears, lip biting and admitting to yourself that you&#8217;re not crying.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Whilst the film tugs on your heart, the emotion becomes\u00a0amplified by the bitter-sweet\u00a0soundtrack that accompanies it.\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"color: #000000; line-height: 1.5;\">Featuring artists such as M83, Birdy, Kodaline &amp; Ed Sheeran, the score compliments the events on-screen perfectly.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">If you are looking for something that will make you happy, don&#8217;t watch it &#8211; I repeat, do not watch this film. However, if you&#8217;re looking for a film that lets\u00a0you ponder\u00a0about life, your friends and your family, and that may or may not make you cry, then give it a go.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">In cinemas in Australia June 5.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Stars: 4\/5<br \/>\nIMDB Rating: 8.7\/10<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Fault in Our Stars\u00a0is a story about learning to live, love and let go.\u00a0The love that is shared between the two main characters, Hazel Grace (Shailene Woodley) and Augustus Waters (Ansel Elgort) is whimsical, dark and sometimes nihilistic.
