Well, what Ellen Page brings to me can definitely be surprises again and again. This time is definitely not the crazy and neurotic violent girl in HARD CANDY. I always admire girls who seem indifferent, unruly and warm at heart.
Putting aside all political tendencies and cultural differences, I can say happily that this night, I can finally have a warm sleep.
In my opinion, the core of the film is still warm. The typical American way, in the warm care and tolerance, also ridiculed some customs and methods of other countries. Page is as cool as always, whether old-fashioned violent movies, Sonic Youth, or even PUNK, in the eyes of Juno (Page), they are all so natural. Of course, the golden man in the little girl's heart is exceptionally beautiful. Throwing more than a hundred boxes of sugar in the mailbox and writing "Beeker, check the mail" on the floor at the door was done by this strange girl in people's eyes, how warm it was.
This is not a new topic. The pregnancy of a 16-year-old high school student is not a rare thing in American society, and even the entire human society, nor is it the subject of the film. At least I saw more than this.
An understatement of the social pressure to give birth to this little BB, and more inclined to social tolerance and family understanding. The search for love is the key. The love here is broad.
Of course, the love described by adults is actually so obscure for Juno, but the words of the air-conditioning repairman’s father are ordinary and profound "THE BEST THING YOU CAN DO IS FINDING SOMEONE WHO LOVES YOU FOR EXACTLY WHAT YOU ARE...GOOD MOOD , BAD MOOD, UGLY, PRETTY, HANDSOME OR WHATEVER...THE RIGHT PERSON IS STILL GOING TO THINK THE SUNSHINE SET FROM YOUR ASS...THAT'S THE KIND OF PERSON WORTH STICKING WITH".
So, in addition to the person we need to stick with, there are also our beliefs, such as Mark’s explosion of self-loving and self-knowledge in the film, at the same time Vanessa’s love for the baby, Juno’s determination to give birth to this child, All of this is so difficult, but persevering, it is so beautiful.
Just as Juno wrote on the note to Vanessa, "If you are still in, I'm still in", oh, these brave people are where I am really moved. These are the Golden in everyone's heart.
These clues are connected to form this Juno. Only by treating different things with determination can there be true tolerance and love. Therefore, the Golden we are waiting for will eventually rock up.
PS: This is another film that has something to do with music. The OST is very nice. In addition to Kimya Dawson, The Moldy Peaches, there are even Sonic Youth, Velvet Underground and my big love Belle & Sebastian.
PPS: Even if Mark chose to shrink at the last moment, it was because he clearly knew that he was only a child and could not be the father of this Baby, and could not stand shoulder to shoulder with Vanessa, courageously face the reality and solve it wisely. , It may not be a proper way.
