Many comments put Juno on a par with Little Miss Sunshine the year before, both of which were also nominated for Oscars. Little Miss Sunshine has tears in laughter, and tragedy in comedy. Juno is thinking while laughing, and there is philosophy in comedy. Little Miss Sunshine is talking about how to face failure, and Juno is talking about how to love others. Personally think Juno is better.
Juno's story is not new, but it speaks new ideas. Teenage motherhood is a social problem in the United States. Since the 1960s, the phenomenon of teenage motherhood has been increasing, which has attracted social attention. Studies have shown that in 1981, 23.9% of American women became pregnant before the age of 18, and 43.5% became pregnant before the age of 20. In 1999, another survey of teenage pregnancy rates in some countries revealed that the United States still ranks first. Teenage pregnancy has caused a series of social problems. First of all, teenage mothers have adverse effects on education, economy and marriage. According to statistics, only half of girls who have children before the age of 18 can finish high school, their average income after employment is half lower than their peers, and the possibility of relying on welfare is much greater. In 1985, the United States provided 8.6 billion US dollars in relief and funding for girls who were pregnant or had given birth. Secondly, the prevalence and mortality of children born to teenage girls are very high. When these babies grow up, they often encounter educational and emotional problems. 82% of these children may become pregnant and give birth again when they reach the age of 15, thus putting a heavy burden on society.
Juno's screenwriter cleverly avoided these social problems and wrote teenage mothers as a story about finding true love. I have always felt that only the most innocent love exists in the teenage years. Adults have too many interests to consider, and love has changed. Mark and Vanessa can be described as talented women. The seemingly perfect marriage has already cracked. The wife does not understand her husband's ideal of being a rock musician, and the husband does not understand his wife's desire to be a mother. They no longer love each other and break up. It's just a matter of time. In contrast, Juno and Mac are still high school students and have no financial means, but they truly love each other and are determined to face the future together. This is the most valuable. Juno's question is also my question, "I have to know it's possible that two people can stay happily together forever." Father's answer revealed the true meaning of life, "The best you can do is to find a person who loves you for exactly what you are!" I
personally think that Juno can't get the best picture award. In addition to the super strengths of "Old Nowhere" and "Blood Is Coming", Oscars have always been known for being conservative, and Juno even openly encouraged teenage mothers, only to win the box office and lose awards. However, it is possible to win the Best Actress Award. Ellen Page, who plays Juno, is really great. He is well-behaved in appearance, rebellious in his heart, young and mature, and witty words. But being the parents of this kind of child can be worrying enough :)
Juno’s dialogue is witty and humorous, both laughing and sweating. There is one sentence that may make Chinese people uncomfortable, "You should've gone to China, you know, cause I hear they give away babies like free iPods. You know, they pretty much just put them in those t-shirt guns and shoot them out at sporting events." American movies have always liked to talk about China, either politics or military. This time they talk about China’s abandoned infants, alluding to plans. Fertility system. Even if there are many problems in China, I think this joke is too much. After all, Chinese parents still love their children, and the phenomenon of abandoning babies is becoming less and less. This shows the Americans' prejudice against China.
