While much much heavier of a topic and theme than most teen movies, it’s a topic that needs to be addressed, particularly to teens who know people suffering from terminal illnesses. Life means different things to different people and even if you want to group people together by life experience and background there is still so many more parts that make our whole. We learn about the characters by listening to their insights about cancer, death, love and legacy. Author John Green stated that the main objective of the story is to show that one can still have a fulfilling life even if it’s short. The fault in our stars is heartbreaking and bleakly humorous.
I personally choose to skip it when watching it at home (~1:16:16 to 1:19:05).Įvery other great thing about the film has been addressed in detail, and it is an extremely successful story and one of the best teenage romances. The novel mentions the use of birth control, but the film does not. Nothing obscene is shown, but there is blatant heavy petting and the sexual tension is very high before cutting away after they are undressed. In my opinion it went on longer than necessary and is one of the more explicit foreplay scenes for a PG-13 movie. The main scene to be concerned about is the sex scene between an 18-year-old and a 16-year-old. But when a patient named Augustus Waters suddenly appears at Cancer Kid Support Group, Hazel’s story is about to be completely rewritten. Gus also famously carries cigarettes but never lights them. 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. Two scenes depict the teenaged protagonists drinking champagne (though one is set in Amsterdam where it might have technically been legal at their age), and one scene depicts an antagonistic character drinking before breakfast, implying overt alcoholism. The movie contains marginally less swearing than the book, but nothing too shocking or unheard of to any teen who’s been in a public school.
The book and film were released when I was a teenager and I was really impressed with the way Green accurately captured teenage behavior. The main aspects of the film to be worried about are some language (including a very blatant f-bomb), some casual underaged drinking, and some nudity during a foreplay scene.
