Blinking eyes

Juno, this year's awards season suddenly became popular. The subject matter of American high school students really didn't arouse my interest-only after reading it did I understand why I won the award.

The reaction of most Chinese audiences after watching it should be surprise and shock, right? Such a subversion of tradition, the pregnancy of a high school student-it is so common in Juno's world. Everyone, including mom and dad, child dad, good friend, and this little girl with a clean forehead and shiny eyes, treats this kind of thing with unexpectedly calm and composure. Their lack of surprise is the source of my surprise.

Later, I slowly learned to think in their way, and then I gradually began to understand the main idea behind the story of the movie.

As many commentators have said, the matter of underage pregnancy and abortion is actually quite controversial in the United States, but at least in that social environment, there is room for different voices. The director not only praises girls for their self-reliance and beauty, but also reflects on the right and wrong of inertial mainstream thinking, but also emphasizes respect for different positions and handling methods of the problem itself. This is precisely the core part of the "America" ​​country.

This is the legendary "value output".



However, is this kind of value output really a kind of corrosion and invasion in disguise?

I was really infected by Juno's aura full of aura and wisdom. If you have trouble, okay, then calm down and think of a solution; the first choice is frustrated by something deep in human nature, okay, then find a middle ground; have a good impression of the couple who adopted the child, but finally found out Betrayal and escape in a certain sense, sadness and disappointment, but what's next? Still regain positive confidence, mints, boyfriend, guitar accompaniment-life is so simple.

The opening was very, very personal. Juno, who was dressed almost as a neutral student, carried a huge orange juice bucket and poured it on the road. The result was to go to the convenience store to test whether she was pregnant again. So cute, laugh.


I think the reason most people like me like it is because it tells everyone in a convincing way that the complex and messy world can actually be so clear and easy. The only thing to do is to stick to your heart.

    Juno is not cute, a bit clever and self-righteous, and has no idea of ​​the possible consequences of his actions. But in Juno, we can see the shadow of ourselves when we were young, so I still like her. The middle-aged man is very attractive, but that is only the advantage of the adult's mind in front of the child. He also has his own problems, and he may not handle it much better than Juno. Although the young boy is not good enough, it is enough to grow up with her.

    The OST is great. The guitar and the cheerful female voice give a relaxed atmosphere even in the most tangled plot. The ending is very warm. A woman will become a mother because of pregnancy, and a man will become a father because of the birth of a child.
