My Evaluation

This film truly touched me because I've had a family member in the same situation as both Hazel and Augustus and it was a hard film to watch but you do get a sense of fulfilment and hope in this film which makes you see the film for the beauty that it is. Throughout the film the performances were outstanding, there emotions and actions saw you through tears, laughter and just focus, not taking your eyes of the screen. This opened my eyes so much to see that they are still young and they know they haven't got long so they do what they enjoy with each other and it seems to forget about the fatal ending at the end of the path for them. The lighting throughout seems to differ from sun rolling on the ground to dark covered skies with no emotion. The sounds in this film are truly fitting the 'not about Angels' birdy was incredible because it showed the scene when Hazel is leaving Augustus's funeral and it truly touches your heart. The genre for this film was a mixture of romance and adventure because of the love between Hazel and Gus but also the adventure they both went on and going on is truly inspiring and sad at the same time knowing they don't have a lot of time. The theme I thought was courage because of their strength to love in the circumstances and to forget about the troubles and just be them, however also deception due to Gus holding back the news that his cancer is back and he hasn't got long was the shock that you expected but never truly wanted.

I truly enjoyed this film and the power it had over me. The moments captured and the feelings felt were ever so amazing and truly let you just listen and watch the film letting the world go by you but in this moment you are with them on their journey. Incredible.
