For those of you who don't know, John Green effectively broke the internet yesterday after the first ever trailer of The Fault in Our Stars premiered online.
Be warned: I have made no attempt to be professional or critical about this. Prepare to be bombarded by fangirlish zeal and ALL-CAPS.
Okay, have you got the trailer up? Has it buffered? Ready to go?
Let's do this.
0:00-0:15 - GUS TWIRLING HAZEL IN AMSTERDAM AND GUS AND HAZEL KISSING, ERMAHGERD!
0:31-0:37 - WIPE THAT ADORABLE SMIRK OFF YOUR FACE RIGHT NOW, AUGUSTUS WATERS. YOU HAVE NO RIGHT TO BE SO ADORABLE WHEN I KNOW YOU'RE GOING TO BREAK MY HEART. And did - did they just use the same music from The Perks of Being a Wallflower trailer? Oh God, am I going to cry over this movie as much as I did over Perks? (Yes. The answer is an unequivocal yes.)
0:38-0:45 - THEY'RE IN THE LITERAL HEART OF JESUS! And hey, look, it's Isaac!
0:46-0:54 - "Why are you staring at me?" "Because you're beautiful." MY CRIES.
1:20-1:24 - Ugh, noooo. Gus standing there looking so upset is heartbreaking!
1:31-1:40 - OH MY GOSH I CANNOT WAIT FOR THIS PART AHHHHH!!!!
1:52-1:55 - :((((((((
2:01-2:08 - NOPE. NOPE NOPE NOPE NOPE.
2:12 -2:15 - NO, IT'S NOT OKAY. IT IS SO NOT OKAY. THIS MOVIE IS GOING TO KILL ME.
So, in summary:
What did you think of the trailer? Did it live up to your expectations? What was your favorite part? Let me know in the comments!
I LOVED LOVED LOVED the trailer. Don't judge me but I have to admit that I didn't really like the book, I was a bit disappointed by it. I'm like one of the only people to think that, but okay :) Although I can truly fangirl with you over the movie trailer because it just looks really good and I even almost cried. I think they did a really great job if even I, as someone who didn't particularly love the book, was emotional about it.
ReplyDeleteI loved seeing Amsterdam! But that's also because I'm Dutch so I recognize it haha. I knew they were filming in Amsterdam but I had no idea where, and I don't live close by Amsterdam at all so I didn't 'hunt' them down. I wish I had haha.
Anyway, love your fangirly reactions and I'm so excited for the movie!
Hey, no judgment! Everyone has different tastes when it comes to books. You don't have to love it just because everyone else does. (And if we're being totally honest, I didn't really love TFIOS until after I read it the second time. I'm not sure why. Maybe I just appreciated the story more the second time around.)
DeleteOh, man, you totally should have gone to creep around the set, haha! I've never been to Europe, but I would love to see Amsterdam someday. It seems like such a beautiful place!
