12 Stupid Mistakes That Somehow Made It Into 2014 Movies

11. Don't Think He's Really Blind - The Fault In Our Stars

It might seem a little mean-spirited to pick away at a movie about two terminally ill patients falling in love with each other, but as soon as it's on a big screen it's fair game, particularly when the mistakes so fundamentally betray a character's defining characteristic. When Augustus learns that he is close to death, he sets up his emotional pre-funeral, asking both Hazel and his friend Isaac - who is blind - to read eulogies for him, in a not at all maudlin sort of way. Gus clearly has a pretty keen grip on how he wants the "ceremony" to go, so he orchestrates, giving Isaac a cue for when to begin speaking, which he somehow manages to see, despite his eyes not working. Something fishy there.
