worldwithinworld asked: I wish Gus's story of the "existentially fraught free throws" had made the movie. That's when I started liking Gus and loving Hazel.

alliecat-person:

Yes, I liked that, too.

Though, TBF, the movie was already pushing it with the number of explicitly narrated metaphors, and I could see why they might have tried to reel it back a little. I know some people really hate all of the explicit metaphors in the story, though I don’t. Breaking the fourth wall is fun.

I do wish they more explicitly explained that Augustus now hated basketball.
