On the one hand, u can sugarcoat it.
The way they do in movies and romance novels.
Where beautiful people learn beautiful lessons..where nothing is too messed up that can't be fixed with an apology and a Peter Gabriel song..
THE FAULT IN OURS STARS. .
So..watched the movie.. you know like..some movies are just so so so awesome..all one could do is watch them..cry watching them..and keep on watching... here is the kind of movie.. I am happy enough to be able to read the novel too from which they have made the movie out.. the day I watched it..I felt in love with author.. Mr. John Green. Sometimes I feel like not everyone can be a writer.. (Now a day's every second person is a writer). There are few in the world blessed by the grace of god.. to be able to write so efficiently, every single word written by them is magic.. every line, every sentence, every quote somewhere has answer of our question by means of a lesson..
And so is the book or movie..
The choice of cast by the producers has added cherry on the cake.. both the leads were so so beautiful in themselves..they just made the character totally realistic..Hazel by Shailene Woodley and Augustus by Ansel Algort.. O My God!! the boy was so cute with killing smile..
They had cancer.. met somewhere at a support group.. generally became friends and fell in love with their generosity..
I watched the movie.. I cried because the movie was at a place sweet and other place so so touchy that I could'nt resisit myself watching it again again..
let me not go deep.. otherwise I'll have to watch it again.. :)
The book had many many and many beautiful quotes and paragraphs.. I was in dilemma what to where not to use highlighter..
anyways..
Some excerpts from the book:
"God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can and the wisdom to know the difference"
"I am on a roller coaster that only goes up, my friend"
"There will come a time, when all of us are dead. All of
us.There will come a time when there are no human beings remaining to remember that anyone ever existed or that our species ever did anything. There will be no one left to remember Aristotle or Cleopatra, let alone you. Everything that we did and build and wrote and thought and discovered will be forgotten and all of this will have been for naught. May that time is coming soon and may be it's millions of years away, but even if we survive the collapse of our sun, we will not survive forever. There was time before organisms experienced consciousness, and there will be time after. And if the inevitability of human oblivion worries you. I encourage you to ignore it. God knows that's what everyone else does."
