If I haven’t been clear so far, let me be so now – I wholeheartedly encourage you to see the movie and read the book you might want to have a few tissues by your side both for tears of laughter and of pain. Then, go for it.) It does mean that we misdirect our aim by critiquing what is not authentic Christianity. They could have just a family wedding in their house in an afternoon. (I doubt Hazel’s parents would have objected to her marrying Augustus Augustus was old to not need permission. Do I think it was OK for Hazel & Augustus to have sex outside of marriage? No. Not that we’re left without hope and encouragement now, but it does not deny “that pain must be felt.” I say skewer away the less people confuse the version of Christianity with the authentic person and work of Christ, the better.ĭoes this mean my theology lines up with John Green’s? Not so much. We need the Jesus who died and rose again so that we have hope that our existence isn’t merely slogging through this world but allows us to look ahead to a better country, a heavenly one. We need a savior who cried at Lazarus’ tomb and wept in the garden.
We need a savior who has felt pain and loss. Kids with cancer, as well as all of us, don’t need jingos to make it through “the slings and arrows of outrageous fortune” (some more outrageous than others). The movie (and book) lampoons this version of non-Christianity. Some, including World Magazine, hit on the references to the “literal heart of Jesus” and other references to suggest the film uses “the name of Jesus nothing more than a running gag-it’s simply unconscionable” I think, as I indicated in my book review, rather, the movie takes to task a view of Christianity that is devoid of substance it uses platitudes and pop-psychology to feel good about yourself struggling with cancer. I want to make a particular note on the humor. As always, the book does a better job with this because you have a larger canvas on which to play out the story, but it is fleshed out well in the film. It is this finding of true love amongst clever teens who “allow the pain to be felt” that catches our breadth, our emotions and our hearts. If it were merely humorous, it would be an insensitive and inauthentic look a teens with cancer. If it were simply tragic, this would be a bummer of a depressing film. The draw for us is the humor co-mingled with tragedy. If you haven’t read the book, perhaps the movie will entice you. If you loved the book, you’ll love the movie. Let me put it this way, it’s good enough that I’m reading the book that inspired the movie, Hiroshi Sakurazaka’s All You Need is Kill.) The Fault in Our Stars is so good that many of us wanted to see in the theater.
(By the way, I quite liked Edge of Tomorrow and thought, in its way, it was fairly clever as well. But they have to be really good or we’ll wait for it to come out on Redbox, Netflix or disc since the big screen is less critical. It simply shows that good writing and acting beat action and sound effects. They went so far as to diss others, like Edge of Tomorrow that were higher budget but were getting pummeled at the box office. Some movie commentators were surprised that this movie has done so well. So I will focus on the aspects more specifically tied to the movie here while confessing to some overlap for a fuller review of the book, see The Fault in Our Stars Reviewed: An Authentic, Comedic Tragedy of Life and Loss. This movie nicely fleshes out the book it is true to its source. Indeed, much of what I say about the movie could be said about the book and visa versa.
We stay connected due to the relationships, mainly of Augustus Waters to Hazel Grace but also of their relationship with Issac, their own parents (especially Hazel to her Mom). We are drawn in by the story, the clever dialog and the comical tragedy of their compacted lives lived out in the context of young adults with cancer. The Fault in Our Stars is such a great movie because its source is such a great book.
