If You Liked A Fault In Our Stars Then You Will Love These
Everyone goes through that time where they want to sit in front of a screen and watch a fully developed, emotionally charged, loving….tear jerker. You know, the movie where its so sickly sweet and romantic yet so real and relatable but always ends with you crying your heart out in your couch pillow. You also have the ones that are absolutely tragic and the only reason you subject yourself to such soul wrenching emotions is because you need a good cry.
The best thing about tearjerkers is, while being extremely cathartic, they usually leave you feeling better after watching them. Sometimes the story is just so perfectly written that once you’re done and you get off the roller coaster ride of emotions that it just took you on, you appreciate the story whether it ends tragically or in so much happiness that you cant help but cry tears of joy.
If you’ve seen “A Fault in Our Stars” then you remember how it led you on this emotional rollercoaster of watching Hazel Grace, the sick main character, fall in love with Gus, who was in remission from his cancer.
You watch as Gus’ outgoing chirpy personality helps Hazel come out of her illness focused life. You see the sickly sweet ( no pun intended) teenage romance unfold as they pull each other into their hobbies and dreams and become wrapped into each other.
Then as you see the struggle of her living with her illness you start expecting this young beautiful girl to pass at any moment in the movie…
