Why is "The Fault in Our Stars" so Successful?

“The Fault in Our Stars” was very successful when it first came out, in a weeks’ time millions of people were still trying to get tickets at their local cinema trying to watch it. One of the reasons that this film was so successful was because the whole film was based around ill teens. This tear-jerking film touched the hearts of many because it was about young teens who won’t live for a long time because they have life threatening illnesses, this made the watchers feel upset for the characters and won’t them to live a happy life and do more things in their life. Because of this they wanted to see what they did in the rest of the film. What makes it even better is that the ill teenagers start to fall in love to make it even better for the audience to feel for them, but of course something goes wrong with the couple which literally breaks the audiences’ hearts. This film is really for young to middle aged women who are perfect for the writer, the writer can bring all their hopes up then at the last minute make it all fall so everyone is upset again.

Because it is aimed at women, most women tend to talk about good films they have just watched to their friends or family. Because of this it makes the ripple effect, where once one has seen it the ripple starts to expand making more and more people watch it every day. Till eventually so many people have seen it then you have to watch it to talk to your friends about it and not feel left out the conversation. If the women went to see it because their friend has told them to see it, then they might go as a group with their friends or go as a couple to watch it together which will double or more than double the price of the tickets making the film a bit more successful than it was.

With more than one customer buying their tickets, it makes that film look a lot better than it started out, if you going to the cinema and everyone was watching this one film you will normally feel like you need to watch this film to see why everyone is watching it for. And because you have brought a ticket it adds one more person watching it so other people look at you and do the exact same thing, and keeps on doing this until the actual movie has stopped becoming so popular. The reason most people think this is because they feel like they are get left out on the next best thing and want to see the new trend that are in movies today. First it was wizards in the “Harry Potter” saga, then it was vampires in the “Twilight” saga and now it is upsetting love stories of young adults who know it will never work for them. Probably after this craze there will be another set of films that will get many fans over it.
