Phalanxifor, the drug has bought her some time, but she's in stage four, and she's well aware of what that entails. Her lungs have been affected by the cancer. The basic premise, if you haven't read the book or seen the movie, is that Hazel is a 16-year-old girl with thyroid cancer. Hazel Grace Lancaster stars in Josh Boone's stirring film The Fault in Our Stars, which is based on John Green's bestselling YA novel about cancer and love. His texts are hysterical, his spirit unbreakable, his smile semi-permanent, and his driving slapstick. Whereas Hazel believes only in oblivion, Gus believes in something, most particularly the possibility of being remembered, despite the fact that he has lost a leg (and his athleticism) to cancer. “Depression is not a side effect of cancer it is a side effect of dying,” Hazel says in narration. The theme is set in the opening sequence, when Hazel ( Shailene Woodley ), who should have died three years ago from thyroid cancer that had spread to her lungs, is diagnosed with depression, which is 'a normal side effect' of cancer. “As he read, I fell in love the way you fall asleep: slowly, and then all at once.” The film is about life-and-death, but on a personal scale-and that’s the reason it’s powerful. While most teen blockbusters are about saving the planet, The Fault in Our Stars is about the transient nature of your own, limited life. But The Fault in Our Stars successfully navigated that list. So dear readers!! The Hunger Games, Frozen, Maleficent, Divergent, and Gravity are only a few of the recent top-grossing films featuring prominent female protagonists. Is there a heart so cold that it's impervious to a romance between cancer-stricken teenagers who face their impending deaths with dark humour and clear-eyed reflections on mortality? Rated - PG-13 for thematic elements, some sexuality and brief strong language Stars - Shailene Woodley, Ansel Elgort, Nat Wolff Review of the film in a word: Leonine- Of or like a lion “Sometimes, you read a book and it fills you with this weird evangelical zeal, and you become convinced that the shattered world will never be put back together unless and until all living humans read the book.”
