June is Such a Long Time to Wait for The Fault in Our Stars Movie


"A one sick love story," and a one sick of a long time we all have to wait before The Fault in Our Stars hit the big screen. As expected, the movie which is based on the best-selling book which goes by the same title, had garnered a large fan base on social media sites such as Facebook and Twitter. Showing on June 6, 2014, readers couldn't help not to be excited to watch their favorite characters come to life through Shailene Woodley as Hazel Grace Lancaster (which will also portray Beatrice in Divergent) and Ansel Elgort as Augustus Waters.

The filming had started last year on August 26 in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania and finished around October. The writer, John Green (bless you for your creative mind and passion for tragedy) was on set for the whole filming and even made video blogs during production of the film chronicling his artistic journey in watching his creation be brought to life on a movie screen. And just this last month, January 29, 2014, everyone finally had a sneakpeek of the movie through its trailer which gained over 3 million views in less than 24 hours after its release.

See it for yourself:


For me, The Fault in Our Stars is indeed the "Romeo & Juliet" of our time, the plot and the feelings it gives are entirely priceless. And though, the story may leave you crying and sulking up, the journey of these two beautiful people as they find love and fight their fears will entirely leave a mark on your heart. It's a masterpiece which Time Magazine called "damn near genius" and described by Booklist as "Green’s best and most ambitious novel to date. In its every aspect, The Fault in Our Stars is a triumph."


If you still have no idea what The Fault in Our Stars is about, here are the synopses from IMDb and GoodReads:

IMDb: "Hazel and Gus are two teenagers who share an acerbic wit, a disdain for the conventional, and a love that sweeps them on a journey. Their relationship is all the more miraculous given that Hazel's other constant companion is an oxygen tank, Gus jokes about his prosthetic leg, and they met and fell in love at a cancer support group."

GoodReads: "Despite the tumor-shrinking medical miracle that has bought her a few years, Hazel has never been anything but terminal, her final chapter inscribed upon diagnosis. But when a gorgeous plot twist named Augustus Waters suddenly appears at Cancer Kid Support Group, Hazel's story is about to be completely rewritten."

So if you're up for a one-hell tragic love story, then I bet you'll hate the fact that you'll love this story even if it left you sad and probably let you cry tons of bucket. But for now, all we can do is to wait for dear June to witness the magic and tragic of Hazel and Augustus sick story unfold in the big screen.
