“Paper Towns” with Cara Delevingne: Supermodel, super role – SPIEGEL ONLINE

How do you know that one has landed in a story by John Green? As would be, firstly, the fact that each of the characters has a very nerdy special interest: The last words of famous personalities (Miles holder “Looking for Alaska”); the novel “A stately suffering” (Hazel Grace from “Fate is a lousy traitor”); Walt Whitman (Margo Roth Spiegelman from “Paper Towns”), or, well, Margo Roth Spiegelman (Quentin Jacobsen from “Paper Towns”).

And secondly you can see it in mind that these stories on a never-never cynical, never-never-ironic way tell something about the big issues of life, ie especially about love. The story “Paper Towns” – Greens third novel and the second, which was made into a film – tells example of why every love story – the happy – a disappointment are. Because Quentin (Nat Wolff, Isaac from “Fate is a lousy traitor”) is growing in the faith quite understandable on to live next to the most perfect beings in the world. What a miracle! Of all the houses in all the suburbs near all the cities of all countries the family Spiegelman’s just pulled in this one house, directly across from him. Together with her daughter, Margo Roth Spiegelman.

But so wondrously fate has led them along, so unmercifully it separates them again. Be While Margo over the years is getting wilder and more unpredictable and beautiful, Quentin growing the sort Young zoom, which do not have a car and are therefore driven by the parent to school and their friends either never had a girlfriend (making it one Friend Ben meant), or have one, but they can never bring back home because their parents are hoarding the world’s largest collection of black Santas (so is his other friend radar meant).

If you believe the relationship between Quentin and Margo into words, so one would probably say: Quentin is madly in love with Margo. And Margo is well disposed toward Quentin. To perform a non-relationship. At least until one night when Margo knocks on Quentin’s window. She wants to take revenge on her unfaithful ex and needs for next getaway car, spray paint and fresh fish and a getaway driver, for no one better suited than its most loyal admirers.

From Ideal for individual

After that night Margo is not only no longer in school, but also do not want to come home. she is gone. And has nothing left except clueless friends, something to disinterested parents and some hints – of which Quentin believes soon realize that their destiny is to lead him to Margo’s hideout.

Quentin follows track to track as if the love of a scavenger hunt. Only that in the end it is no longer a question of whether he now finds his treasure or not. But much more about what Quentin experienced on the road itself. There was a time when he believed that every human being experiences a miracle in his life, and that his miracle is, Margo Roth Spiegelman know.

Actually, however, is the miracle of this story that Quentin suddenly goes to parties and cross travels with his friends throughout the country and dances on the prom and that Margo Roth Spiegelman is not the perfect miracle for which he she has held, but at the same time less and more. A person, as multi-faceted and lively and non-ideal as people are now once namely.

For the role of Margo Roth Spiegelman there would therefore be no more perfect actress to as Cara Delevingne, the model, the girlfriend of singer St. Vincent, the Instagram icon, from everyone already has a picture. And if it is only that, you can not conceive in the first few minutes of the film, how anyone can look so pretty. Other models may have wind machines Hairstyles, Cara Delevingne looks as if made their hair for it to flutter in the wind at night.

Then a habituation effect and Cara Delevingne becomes an actress under the other, which makes the viewer sympathize wisely how changes Quentin’s perception of Margo. As it is from an ideal to the individual.

How do you recognize most clearly that one has landed in a story by John Green? There are only complex characters, even if you sometimes need a little time to realize that they are.
