The power of cinema is undeniable, and its influence is seen in many aspects of life. From the romance of Titanic to the tragedy of The Fault in Our Stars, movies have a way of connecting with audiences in a way that few other mediums can. Now, a story of a couple who used the latter film to deceive has gone viral, and even the author of the book, John Green, has reacted with shock. This incident has highlighted the power of cinema, and the need for caution when using it to create real-life experiences.
At the heart of the story is a woman who discovered that her wife was attempting to copy the tragic backstory of The Fault in Our Stars, even going so far as to claim she had incurable bone cancer. This story quickly caught the attention of John Green, who could not believe that someone would use his work in this way. His shock and confusion were evident, as he had no idea how his story was being used in such a way.
This incident has highlighted the power of cinema to influence our lives, and the need to use it responsibly. While it is understandable to want to recreate the romance of a movie, it is important to remember that it is only a movie. We should be careful not to take it too far and use it to deceive those we care about.
At the same time, it is also important to appreciate the power of cinema and the impact it can have on us. Films such as Titanic and The Fault in Our Stars have touched the hearts of millions of people around the world, and it is no wonder that they have become cultural touchstones. For those looking for a romantic night in, the film adaptation of The Fault in Our Stars is now available on HBO Max.
So, the next time you watch a romantic movie, remember to use it responsibly. And if you’re lucky enough to share it with someone you love and trust, enjoy it for what it is – a beautiful story.
There is that romance in movies that we all wish we could emulate in our real life, with some exceptions. Very soon, many people will have memories of one of these celluloid courtships, as among the new releases of the 2023 films is a 3D re-release of James Cameron’s Titanic. However, young lovers who want to be Jack and Rose know better than to book an iceberg cruise for their first date.
That’s the warning someone should have given one half of the couple who went viral on TikTok as the woman realized her wife was copying the tragic backstory of “The Fault in Our Stars“; down to the fact that I have incurable bone cancer. If you thought the story was wild, wait until you see author John Green’s reaction when he was told the whole story:

Let’s take a moment to really understand what happened. John Green the bittersweet story of terminally ill teenagers who fall in love almost a decade after it became a box office phenomenon starring Shailene Woodley, is now considered the source of inspiration for an emotional con. “The Fault in Our Stars” may have been written to induce tears, precisely because of Greene’s friendly nature, but no such tears.
Greene’s own shocked reaction confirms this, as his shock at every turn of the story is palpable. This guy seems like someone whose creation was being used for the wrong reasons, and while it’s funny to see John Green in his charming stupidity, it’s still sad to see him come to this realization. If only someone had just pretended to be named Catherine instead of referring to Greene’s novel The Abundance of Catherine.
John Green should not take this too hard, as again, “The Fault in Our Stars” was a cultural touchstone of its time. The book was banned by the California school library system upon its release, which probably made it even more popular. And that’s on top of the fact that Josh Boone’s film dominated social media the year it was released. Again, when a movie like this or Titanic gains momentum, some will see it as a personal romantic goal.
That still doesn’t justify a case where someone fakes an incurable form of cancer to establish a relationship. Rather, it highlights some contributing factors that could lead to these wrongdoings. At least no one was hurt, barring a massive breach of trust, and the affected social media user now has a cooler story to tell about John Green and his work.
If you want, watch “The Fault in Our Stars“ with someone you love and trust, you’re lucky. As of this writing, the film adaptation has aired for those with an HBO Max subscription.
