Every week, guests (or just me!) will discuss various films featuring 'manic pixie dream girls,' or MPDGs. MPDGs are whimsical, quirky, and eccentric fantasy women whose only purpose is to save the male protagonist from himself; thus, aside from the above attributes, are flat characters. Music featured will be from the film soundtrack or songs that fit โจ๐ฝ๐ฑ๐ฎ ๐ฟ๐ฒ๐ซ๐ฎ๐ผโจ of the characters or settings.
the fault in our stars (2014)
today, we talk about john green's book-to-film 'The Fault in our Stars.' how it's remembered, the usage of a manic pixie savior archetype, and more will be analyzed alongside script recaps & scene analysis
Movie Synopsis: Hazel Grace Lancaster (Shailene Woodley), a 16-year-old cancer patient, meets and falls in love with Gus Waters (Ansel Elgort), a similarly afflicted teen from her cancer support group. Hazel feels that Gus really understands her. They both share the same acerbic wit and a love of books, especially Grace's touchstone, "An Imperial Affliction" by Peter Van Houten. When Gus scores an invitation to meet the reclusive author, he and Hazel embark on the adventure of their brief lives.
