And then how he finished it also makes it better. Cause even though he didn’t want to see a word without Gus he would still take the robot eyes cause they are robot eyes which shows how even though he knows his friend is going to die he still jokes around.
The kissing scene in the Anne Frank Haus is so weird, especially when the people start to clap. I went there with my school once and the mood is definitively not romantic, nor a happy one.
Couldn't agree more with you on this. If you are at a place which has a history of a genocide the last thing you would do is kiss. This is just really weird to me and the people clapping back? Excuse me, so many people died and you find all of this romantic? Beyond me.
On the book, I found so weird the fact that people start CLAPPING over a kiss on a place like that. Like ok, it is already weird that they are kissing there but to add it the claps? Why the claps😩
I like the way they wrote it in the book, you should read it. They do start clapping which is weird, but Hazel acknowledges that it was kind of weird doing that and it was a bad place.
@@itscamillataylor2775 if you search deep in his vlogs you can find the videos from him being on set quite a lot, however he does admit he has limited control
@@itscamillataylor2775 If I remember correctly, that's why he didn't sell the rights for Looking for Alaska, because they were gonna do something to it he didn't like, and they wouldn't work with him. So if he didn't have any say in this movie, then he wouldn't have let them have it.
i’m sorry but i gotta say this somewhere. i’ve been binge watching dylan’s videos for the last week or so and just came across this. i’ve been thinking about this movie a lot for the last week, coincidentally. my ex bf who is now my best friend is also an osteosarcoma survivor with one leg. i can’t bear to watch this movie again after all these years as we just found out his cancer is back. on friday they’ll remove 6 tumors from his lungs before starting chemo the following week. maybe i shouldn’t comment as i haven’t watched this video and i won’t, but i’ve been thinking about it so much and this seems like an okay place to say what i’ve been thinking. i have to say that from what i remember they nailed the time gus had alive after finding out he was sick. the scene at the gas station keeps replaying in my head, gus repeating ‘just let me die’ in his car...i can’t stop picturing my best friend saying it. i can’t stop thinking about hazel’s phone ringing in the middle of the night, and how mine will sound, and when it will be. i picture my roommates looking at each other with no clue what to do when i get it. maybe i’ll run to my car and drive off and grieve in an empty parking lot so they won’t have to see. who knows. maybe he’ll survive again. but if you know anything about osteosarcoma, you know his odds aren’t fantastic. i’m sorry for the novel. idk if i believe in a god but to anyone who does...please please pray for him. edit: thank y’all for the kind words. he miraculously lived for two more weeks after the surgery. he died on august 16th, 2020 at 21. edit 2: it’s been over 2 years since he died and i still get responses on this so i just wanna give a general life update. after he died i was not okay for a long time. i couldn’t function. absolutely everything hurt. i had no one that really cared about me, no one i could show how much pain i was really in to. and then, in february of 2021 i met my best friend. my platonic soulmate. the kind of person that reminds you how good life can be, how good you can be. he’s helped me become a whole person. i’m happy. i love the people in my life, i love myself, and as much as i miss brendan, i’ve only had a few days in the last year when the grief was crushing. it’s true that time heals. thank you for all your kind words. to this day, those comments mean the world. love all you troublemakers:)
And if I go, while you're still here, Know that I live on, Vibrating to a different measure, Behind a thin veil You will not see me, So you must have faith. I wait for a time when we can soar together again, Both aware of each other. Until then, live your life to its fullest. And when you need me, Just whisper my name in your heart, ... I will be there. Ascension by Colleen Corah Hitchcock I'm so sorry about what you are going through... I found this poem at a time when I really needed it and I hope it can offer you some kind of comfort like it has for me. My prayers go out to you, your boyfriend, and his loved ones❤️️
She could die even like a month after or a couple years after, but she was going to die in a short amount of time, the autor let that clear in the book itself I remember, I read the book like 5-6 years ago so don't trust me very very much on this (i just belive myself)
12:50 John Green answers this question on his website: Q: The venn diagram confused me. Why is Gus still inside the virgin circle? A: 17-year-olds with one leg are mostly in the circle, but there’s a little space outside of the circle. The space outside is Gus. The space inside is the rest of 17-year-olds with one leg. (This references an earlier joke in the novel.) Basically, Gus is not the only 17-year-old with one leg.
accidentally found this dude and now im on a binge watch and NOT regretting it 🤩 EDIT: thank you so much troublemakers for 10K likes 😸 y'all are sanitary !
15:58 This is the advantage visual readers have. We *see* pictures like movies in our minds as we read instead of just the word "smile" we can SEE the character smiling. Their appearance might not be similar to how someone else visualizes them but its the same concept of picturing the words instead of just... words on paper. Reading Percy Jackson....phew man that was something else. I love that series.
Wait... I thought everyone experienced books like this... do most people not see things when reading? When I read, I barely notice the words at all. It is like an internal, and very long, movie. (Also, my gosh i could not agree more about the Percy Jackson novels. They were so amazing to read!)
@@tluvsbeauty1 not everyone can see what they read in their mind, but most people can… I cant i see nothing. But its not just while reading a book, my mind is always blank. I have aphantasia. Because of that i am not a Fan of books that are very very descriptiv, since i will never see it unless they make a movie of it. I for example know what my mother looks like, but if you ask me know i can only tell very vague and basic things about her. I would be the worst eye witness.
same! percy jackson was amazing. i listened to it in audio form as well and oh my… the voice actor just was not it for me. but i powered through because i just love those FRIKING BOOKS SO MUCH. i never thought about how some readers cant picture it in their head because I always have. but the score & how its filmed does still add to the scene soometimes, making it feel more emotional.
I definitely agree with you. As a visual reader I find that books can have even more emotional impact than movie because of that. Also I’m rereading the whole Percy Jackson series and man you are so right about those books. Genuinely stunning stuff when you get down to it
Actually that tweet was fake! One of the big points of TFiOS was that authors shouldn't have a say in what happens to their characters after the book ends and John Green believes that too.
i dont care how many times i watch it, the last scene where he is talking about how much he loves her and she says "okay" gives me chills and makes me cry like a baby
Man: *is clearly Willem Dafoe* Dylan: "we get this Willem Dafoe...knockoff.................WAIT IS THAT ACTUALLY WILLEM DAFOE?!" made me laugh ridiculously hard.
So I’ve been watching this channel all weekend because of quarantine and I love this channel!! He doesn’t shit on movies. he doesn’t sit and make you watch every single scene. He isn’t emotionless or acts like the movies don’t move him. He doesn’t say what’s “cool”. So raw and so good
John Green was coping with the loss of a young friend with cancer who died when she was 16 I believe. While he was still working through that, he wrote this. That's been my understanding of the story. Instead of Hazel Grace, the girl's name was Esther Grace :)
@@archanadubey9878 i mean, kind of? you're more likely to misjudge distance and placement. like, if you throw something up in the air with both eyes open, it will be easy to catch it right? do it again with 1 eye closed, you'll find its quite a bit harder.
Dylan makes me laugh so much sometimes it hurts. And I love it when he makes jokes. But also, when he really cares about a story and gets passionate about something it really shows and I think I love that even more 🤗
This book broke me in the 6th grade. I did a book report and a poster on it and the poster literally had my tears all over it. I handed it to my teacher and literally said “I’m sorry it’s messy but I couldn’t stop crying”
28:02 Dylan: "If I know what's coming, I'm not gonna cry" Dude I NEVER cry at movies and I knew how The Maze Runner was going to end because my friend spoiled it to me and I had already watched THAT scene and I still cried for two hours after watching it/reading it and it's been four months and I'm still crying every time I watch it/read it. Those who've seen it/read it, you know what I'm talking about...........we'll never get over it completely...........
Okay so I found Dylan a couple of weeks ago and am now slowly making my way through the backlog of his vids. And I gotta say this is the first vid where I have actually seen him genuinely affected by the emotion and writing of the movie and it was strangely heart warming to see a more human and romantic side of him rather than the endless (but entertaining) ripping of the movies content. 2020 Dylan if you see this don't be afraid to do some movie commentary of some really good films that left an impression on you, I'm sure I'm not the only one who was left with a more wholesome view of who you are outside of RU-vid after this. (Also props for not bringing gender into your review aka this book and movie is only for teen girls).
The "some infinities are just bigger than other infinities" isn't just a line. It's actually a mathematical concept. Infinity is not a set idea. Some "infinities" are "bigger" than other infinities. It's an important concept!
i kept avoiding this movie commentary because i was very invested in this franchise, i read all of john greens books, i read this one 3 times before watching the movie then again after. i cried like a baby reading & watching these scenes. i really didn’t think i’d cry because of your jokes and light hearted take on everything but fuck. this story gets me every time.
My dad, who was basically my world, died of lung cancer when I was seven. Due to that I have PTSD and Cancer is my worst fear when it comes to myself and my loved ones... So what did to do? I decided to pick this book up when my long term bf was going through aggressive af cancer and I was going through a life threatening illness. we were 23 ish, so young enough to relate a lot to the characters. Basically, big mistake! 😂 He still pokes fun of me for being so dumb. Was I trying to torture myself? I did like there cancer humour though. Very realistic! When dark shit happens, you develop a dark sense of humour.
I can't thank you enough for not including the shot of the casket omggg the first time I watched this in theatres I forgot it would be a huge trigger for me and I had a PTSD episode. I tread so carefully watching this video but I love your content!!!!
It’s so interesting how Dylan reads this like as a “great book, plot thingies, how something’s better in the movie and something’s not” And when I read the book i barely knew what it said because I cried so much...
AHAHAHA VERY TRUE .... Americans (or some westerners(?) )are lucky that their seasons are like less than 20 episodes cause if a telenovela lasted only 20 eps that wouldn’t even last a month but an upside is we get a new episode every day mean while they get to re watch their shows we won’t cause it’s in the tv and it’s daily
I just want to say I have been watching your videos for a while now and I find them really enjoyable great sense of humour great way to watch a movie without having the time to watch the whole thing
I've been on such a binge of movie commentary for past few weeks. And this movie has such good music! I've had the soundtrack for years and still listen to it regularly.
Dylan: “I can literally hear a bunch of girls in the theater being like “awwwn” right now” Also Dylan (The earth is gonna be swollen by the sun and I’m in love with you sorry) : “Awnnnnnnn ajabajbsod”
