'The fault in our stars' and 'A walk to remember'

Twitter started irritating me with all these "The fault in our stars" references and I told myself I needed to go watch it as all this spoiler alerts around me was even more annoying. So now I knew the synopsis of the story and to me it sounded pretty much like "A walk to remember". (Another movie which I happen to love)

So I found myself at the movies with a dear friend of mine and as we watched, I noticed all the similarities between the two movies. I then proceeded to Google it and apparently im not the only one who thought so.
Both movies get to me every time(yes I have now watched both more than a million times) as we recently lost a family friend to cancer. And because I cry for everything. Psssh.

So 21 ways The fault in our stars & A walk to remember is practically the same movie 
(Thank you Buzzfeed.com)
(P.s It was a nightmare aligning the pictures ...but just go with it)

1. To start off, both films involve two star-crossed lovers and one tries to warn the other not to fall for them.

 

 

  

2. But they find they are even more unhappy when not together, creating an impossible situation.


3. So they acknowledge their feelings once and for all.


4. And decide to move forward, despite the inevitable consequences.

 

5. Predictably, the result involves a LOT of tears.



6. But they decide to live for every moment and do things they wouldn’t ordinarily do.

 

7. They spend a lot of time outdoors, via romantic picnics.

 

8. And they constantly stop and admire each other’s beauty.

9. They manage to be intimate in a non-sexual way.


10. Their first kiss is spontaneous (and in public) because they just couldn’t hold back their feelings anymore.

 


11. And their first real physical encounter is adorably awkward and impossibly endearing.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

12. Besides the physical, though, they look beyond the present and see the larger picture.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

  

 

 

13. They definitely don’t take everything literally.

 
Landon helps Jamie with her bucket list by getting her a fake tattoo and taking her to a border so she can be “in two places at once.” And Augustus has that whole cigarette thing.


 

14. Instead, they teach each other to be brave.

 


 

 

 

15. And they support each other when bad news strikes.


 

 

 

16. The people around them see their love as an incredible force.


 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

17. Because, despite all odds, they see the beauty in their bond.


 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

18. And, even with the pain, they’re eternally appreciative of the experience.

 
 

19. Because, thanks to the other person, they’ve changed for the better. And they’ll never forget them


20. Both movies have really cool soundtracks.

21. Both movies had someone cutting onions in the cinema causing my eyes to water like crazy.

Okay? Okay.
