Anne Frank in this movie is this cipher - they don't talk about her history or how she died. Lidewij says Otto was the only one to survive, and that's the end of the discussion. They don't really talk about her once they're inside the house. But they go to her house without really talking about her, or what happened to her.
I read the book looking for some kind of explanation, because it felt so out of place in the movie.Īriane: Geographically, you're right it makes sense. But, as someone who didn't read the book first, the scenes I didn't know about were even harder to digest.Īriane: I guess I could say I felt the same way - I also didn't read the book until after seeing the movie, and I only read the book to try to comprehend the movie's ahistorical and callous treatment of Anne Frank.
You know it's a story about two teenagers with cancer so of course it's going to be extremely sad. The parents were really the part of the movie that got to me - the way they watch their children suffer.Įmily: Right, but at least we knew going into the movie that those moments were to be expected, in a way. Actually Laura Dern as Hazel's mother had me teary a couple of times. Below, they state their cases.Įmily Orley: So I have been thinking about The Fault in Our Stars nonstop since I walked out of it.Īriane Lange: Me too, except I've been thinking about how much it enraged me.Įmily: OK, but before we get to the rage, were there any parts that you enjoyed? Or dare I ask, that made you cry?Īriane: I mean, I'm a known sap, so yeah, I cried. BuzzFeed's Ariane Lange felt enraged by the scene, while her colleague Emily Orley felt different.
While on a trip to Amsterdam, they share their first kiss in the Anne Frank House when Lidewij (Lotte Verbeek), the assistant of Hazel's favorite author Peter Van Houten (Willem Dafoe), takes them around the city.
The highly anticipated film adaptation of The Fault in Our Stars centers on two teenagers with cancer, Hazel (Shailene Woodley) and Gus (Ansel Egort).
