near infinite wonderful pain

I didn't understand what the title of the film means. I asked online and said it was a literal translation. It's a bit baffling. The name of the original novel is "Incomparably Beautiful Pain", which is more reliable. "The Fault in the Stars" is a reserved film, with brisk music, clear tones, and the characters' sense of humor, which not only dilutes the tragic color of the terminally ill theme, but also gives people a sense of love from time to time. The illusion of light comedy.
The content of the film is as follows: Heather (the heroine) is 17 years old. Before meeting Gus (the hero), her daily life is to see the doctor, watch reality shows, participate in support groups, almost every day. The only difference between her and us office workers is that even boring days are limited to her, just like the oxygen bottle that she carries with her, maybe it will run out one day, or other similar After the problem, she will say goodbye to this world, and it is inevitable to be unhappy with such a thing.
In everyone's life, there is one thing that will inevitably become the theme of his life. For example, Heather, her theme before the age of 17 may be to feel the pain of life. After meeting Gus, she began to share the pain with Gus, in the process, the pain was forcibly transferred, and love began to occupy her life and become the whole of her life, but their love was more like a shooting star in the dark night than a long and lasting painful fate, And the whole film is about the process of the meteor from appearing to disappearing, like a slow-motion playback of a certain stage in life, which may be the reason why this film is so popular, the film seems to want to tell us: Love is the most dazzling and most worthy of attention in life.
When Gus was about to die, he was uncharacteristically pessimistic and lost. He felt that it was meaningless to die like this. He wanted to be remembered and loved by everyone. He was afraid of being forgotten. It didn't work either, but, undeniably, he had Heather, and if that was the most important thing in life, what's the use of getting anything else. From here, the film leads to a proposition of the theory of love relativity. People inherently die, and love will end with the death of people. Even for living people, love may fade away in a short period of time among parents. Heather summed up their love at Gus's pre-death funeral: some infinity are greater than others, which means something like "I would rather have a peach than a basket of rotten peaches."
In the limited time they can have, they love longer, more intensely, and more unforgettable (maybe everyone in love has this illusion, hehe, I don't know), these love times can be in their minds Growing up to infinity can almost be used to sum up the entire life, because in a world without love, or in other words, in a world without the two of them in love, the world is so worthless and meaningless. So, for these two people, when love comes, their lives have real meaning, and when Gus leaves, we all know that their love will not end, because for Heather, this A love is infinite, longer than life. This reminds me of a classic line: When you can't have it anymore, the only thing you can do is to keep yourself from forgetting.
Last year, I watched a lesbian film: Adele's life, which is also about love. I remember it also has a title: Blue, which is close to infinite warmth, which can be used to summarize this film, the love between Heather and Gus , just the infinite beauty between pain and suffering.

    Also. Yes. No. hide. pass. what. It is indeed an American Korean drama. Pulled by roommates to watch. The roommate is really a kind-hearted aluminum child. After reading it three times, he still cried. And I, starting from 15 minutes, meditated on when these two people died:)

The Fault in Our Stars quotes

  • Isaac: She said she wanted to break up with me before the surgery, 'cause she couldn't handle it. I'm about to lose my eyesight and SHE can't handle it. I kept saying "always" to her, you know, like always. And she kept talking over me and not saying it back, and that was... It was like I was gone already, you know? And...

    Hazel Grace Lancaster: Yeah, sometimes people don't understand the promises that they're making when they make them.

    Isaac: I know, but... I just feel like such a loser, and I still have her necklace.

    Hazel Grace Lancaster: Take it off.

    Augustus Waters: Dude, take that off!

    [Isaac pulls it off and breaks the chain]

    Hazel Grace Lancaster: Yeah!

    [Isaac throws it away]

    Augustus Waters: Here we go, man. Here we go.

    Isaac: I just wanna kick something.

    [stands up and starts kicking the TV]

    Augustus Waters: Don't hit that, don't hit that! Dude. Uh...

    [he finds a pillow and gives it to Isaac]

    Augustus Waters: Hit this.

    Isaac: Sorry.

    [starts hitting the pillow violently]

  • Augustus Waters: [on the phone] I cannot stop thinking about this Goddamned book.

    Hazel Grace Lancaster: You're welcome.

    Augustus Waters: However, we do need closure, don't you think?

    Hazel Grace Lancaster: That is exactly what I was asking Van Houten for in my letters.

    Augustus Waters: But he never responded.

    Hazel Grace Lancaster: Nope.

    Augustus Waters: [inhales theatrically] "Dear Mr. Waters. I write to thank you for your electronic correspondence. I am grateful to anyone that sets aside time to read my book."

    Hazel Grace Lancaster: [sits up excitedly] Augustus?

    Augustus Waters: Yes?

    Hazel Grace Lancaster: What are you doing?

    Augustus Waters: I may have found Van Houten's assistant. E-mailed her.

    Hazel Grace Lancaster: Augustus!

    Augustus Waters: She may have forwarded that e-mail onto Van Houten. Shall I continue?

    Hazel Grace Lancaster: Oh my God, yeah, go go go!

    Augustus Waters: "I am particularly indebted to you, sir." Hazel Grace, he just called me "sir."

    Hazel Grace Lancaster: Augustus, keep reading! Keep reading!

    Augustus Waters: "... both for your kind words about "An Imperial Affliction" and for taking the time to tell me that the book, and here I quote you directly, 'meant a great deal' to you and your friend Hazel Grace'."

    Hazel Grace Lancaster: [screams excitedly] You did not! No, you did not, you did not, you did not!

    Augustus Waters: Of course I did. "To answer your question: No, I have not written anything else, nor will I. I do not feel like continuing to share my thoughts with readers would benefit either them or me. However, thank you for your generous e-mail. Yours most sincerely, Peter Van Houten." So yeah, that just happened.

    Hazel Grace Lancaster: Oh my God!

    Augustus Waters: I've been trying to tell you, I'm kind of awesome.
