No as good as The Faults in Our Stars

I liked them both. Word.

Schrodinger's cat walks into a bar, and / or doesn't.

The Fault in Our Stars sucked. Well the movie was better than the horribly pretentious awful book, but this was a much better film.

Poorly Lived and Poorly Died, Poorly Buried and No One Cried

These two movies have no right to be compared with one another. Although components within their storylines are quite similar, the motives behind each film are everything except that. Yeah, the main character(s) have cancer. Yeah, it follows the struggle family and friends face. And yeah, there were some deaths here and there. But, if I'm telling the truth here, TFIOS was a love story created only for the purpose of sitting on your couch wishing you had a relationship like Hazel and Gus while finishing off your second pint of Ben and Jerry's. Don't get me wrong, the story was incredibly captivating and beautiful, but what it lacked was an aftermath. After you watch that film, there's not much to take away, no morals or anything of the sorts to be taken from it. And that's not a bad thing at all. Not all movies have to posses some sort of deeper meaning that's supposed to change the way an entire generation thinks. But in M&E&TDG, it is one of the few movies I've seen where you spend the next week just thinking about it. This was not created to watch on a Saturday night with your friends at your monthly movie marathon only to be forgotten by the next film on the agenda. This is not a movie you watch while folding the laundry or doing paperwork. A movie with meaning rooted within every single word an actor says can only be watched with the upmost respect, for there is an infinite amount to be learned from M&E&TDG. And I stand by the claim that this is more than just a movie. This is not a story about a boy befriending a girl with cancer and making a movie that essentially killed her, no. In all fairness, I can't begin to think about what it even is. All I know is this is so much more than words on a script or characters on a screen. It's so much more than love and hate and friendships and death. It's true meaning can only be defined by each viewer. And I've watched this movie for the fifth time this month, and I've yet to fully discover it's motive and it's meaning, but that's the beauty of it, I guess.

"They fighted and suddenly like nothing happened?! The titles are also very confusing!"



You apparently never had a best friend growing up? This is what we boys do all the time. Hell many of us still do it as grown ups. I had tons of fights with my friends over some of the most stupid stuff and than the next day we where playing like nothing happen. Prob the problem is modern kids didn't play like we use to out side and getting into all type of stuff. Now it's just sitting playing on there game system and never going out side.


As for the two movies I think I liked this one better than Faults. Seem Faults was to main stream made and that was the difference between these two. That is what made this one shine the most is it keep that low budget feel to it and more real.

I have only read the book for Faults (borrowed it from my 14 year old niece to her shock). I need to read this one to see how much different they are in story. I'm going to bet it's a lot closer to the book than Faults was.

Felt the opposite completely. Fault was a 6 for me, good, but really manipulative in that tearjerker way. And tbh a lot of the dialogue did not feel natural and the direction was definitely aimed at the mainstream romantic drama crowd.

Earl and the dying girl was the opposite in almost every regard. From subverting expectations and blatantly stating how life is NOT a romantic comedy. It was about friendship through the hardest periods of our lives, and how overwhelming life can be. I loved it and gave it a 10.

Oh yes, very undateable.

Yeah, cause it's better. No unnecessary pathetic and just the right amount of a dark humor. Not a lot of films can balance that and this one somehow managed to do that. TFIOS is such a cliche and a pale copy of A walk to remember.
