Touching moments in ordinary times

I happened to be arguing with my boyfriend while watching this film, because he promised to come to see me (we are in different places) and was angry because he slept in late and broke his promise. After watching it, he calmed down. In fact, in a relationship that is very good and worth cherishing, there is no need to be too obsessed and entangled in these trivial things.

It is a very warm film. Both the male and female protagonists are terminally ill, and they do not make tears like Korean dramas. They are in line with the usual heavy plots in European and American movies. . Because of the experience and experience of being sick and treating for several years, the heroine is too open to life and has no friends at all. The biggest sustenance in life is the novel that depicts all her pain and feelings, but this novel has no end, she I have written countless letters to the author, all of which have not been answered. Accidentally, I met the male protagonist who also bears the fate of cancer. The two were harmonious and beautiful. They followed their dreams to find the author. This meeting was extremely disappointing, and the subsequent museum visit was the success of this trip to Amsterdam. , explained in "At such moments, I can't think about the misery...but about the beauty that still remains. Try to recapture the happiness within yourself. Think of all the beauty in everything around you...and be happy." The commentary has solved the knot of the heroine and also inspired readers. Impressive.

Many scenes are unforgettable. The male and female protagonists are walking on the small bridge in Amsterdam. The female protagonist recites the eulogy of the male protagonist's funeral in front of the male protagonist. All have the urge to burst into tears.

Perhaps it is precisely because you know that the other party has little time, so you cherish the time you spend with each other. Most couples quarrel endlessly over trivial matters every day, and finally lose their feelings after quarreling, and become each other's lifelong regrets.
Maybe it's cherished at the beginning, and the result may be even better.

The Fault in Our Stars quotes

  • Hazel Grace Lancaster: Hello. My name is Hazel Grace Lancaster. And Augustus Waters was the star-crossed love of my life. Ours is an epic love story and I probably won't be able to get more than a sentence out without disappearing into a puddle of tears. Like all real love stories, ours will die with us, as it should. You know, I'd kind of hoped that he'd be the one eulogizing me, because there is really no one else... Yeah, no, um... I'm not gonna talk about our love story, 'cause I can't. So instead I'm gonna talk about math. I'm not a mathematician, but I do know this: There are infinite numbers between zero and one. There's point one, point one two, point one one two, and an infinite collection of others. Of course, there is a bigger set of infinite numbers between zero and two or between zero and a million. Some infinities are simply bigger than other infinities. A writer that we used to like taught us that. You know, I want more numbers than I'm likely to get, and God, do I want more days for Augustus Waters than what he got. But Gus, my love, I can not tell you how thankful I am, for our little infinity. You gave me a forever, within the numbered days. And for that I am... I am eternally grateful. I love you so much.

    Augustus Waters: I love you too.

    Augustus Waters: [voice over, from his eulogy to Hazel] Mr. Van Houten. I'm a good person, but a shitty writer. You're a shitty person, but a good writer. I think we'd make a good team. I don't wanna ask you for any favors, but if you have the time - and from what I saw you had plenty - please fix this for me: It's a eulogy for Hazel. She asked me to write one, and I'm trying, but I just... I could use a little flair. See, the thing is... we all wanna be remembered. But Hazel's different. Hazel knows the truth. She didn't want a million admirers, she just wanted one. And she got it. Maybe she wasn't loved widely, but she was loved deeply. And isn't that more than most of us get? When Hazel was sick, I knew I was dying, but I didn't wanna say so. She was in the ICU when I snuck in for ten minutes and I just sat with her before I got caught. Her eyes were closed, her skin pale, but her hands were still her hands, still warm, and her nails were painted this dark blue black color, and... I just held them. And I willed myself to imagine a world without us and what a worthless world that would be. She's so beautiful. You don't get tired of looking at her. You never worry if she's smarter than you, 'cause you know she is. She's funny without ever being mean. I love her. God, I love her, I'm so lucky to love her, Van Houten. You don't get to choose if you get hurt in this world, but you do have a say in who hurts you. And I like my choices. I hope she likes hers. Okay, Hazel Grace?

    Hazel Grace Lancaster: Okay.
