The difficulty of "Juneo" is estimated to be less than that of "Fruit Hard Candies". Peggy seemed to be a little taller and a little fatter, and her appearance in a striped T-shirt was sloppy and unintentional. But her "nature" has not changed. She is still a problem girl with a bright heart. The problem that "adults" finds very complicated and difficult to deal with is not so difficult for "minors". To some extent, it is Complex psychology complicates simple things.
This is the reason why "Juneo" won the Oscar screenwriting award in one fell swoop and got Grandpa Spielberg's eyes. -Regarding the issue of teenagers, most of them were shot from the perspective of adults, and the shots were worrying, such as "Ice Storm" by Ang Lee. But from the current problem girl who used to be a stripper out of interest and wrote a very popular erotic blog screenwriter Diablo Coti, what does she think is there? Pregnancy, childbirth, finding foster parents, and continuing your own life, all of this can be a light comedy.
Light comedy is characterized by warmth. This seemingly marginal movie is really a mess. Family affection, love, from home to school, there are no unsharp conflicts, and any conflicts are digested by Juno. This kind of warmth, if it is not "the veil of warmth and veins", needs very strong support. Juno needs to have enough kindness to understand everything around him, and at the same time have a strong tolerance and tolerance-even a sense of humor is needed to resolve strange things such as a small pot of cactus sent by his mother every year after divorce. This is something that adults think children don't have yet, and Juno, who possesses so many excellent qualities, is not a good boy. This shows how imperfect the certification system between the two camps is.
However, "Juneo" is still too simple after all. Its main advantage is the proper grasp of youth culture/psychology, and the ease and joy of film language. However, the limitation of warmth is very obvious. In the movie, the attitude towards the two male protagonists is quite different: the classmate Brick, who had a child in a stalemate, is sympathetic and tolerant, and he still has a lot of Time is available for growth. But the married man Mark received a faint reproach for his unwillingness to bear the burden of family and children. This value orientation is too mainstream, and it makes people feel that the screenwriter who looks like a pioneer actually has a too traditional heart.
Avant-garde and tradition are just labels. For art, what is important is the understanding of self and the world, how much candid it is, a richer and deeper understanding. On this scale, "Four Hundred Lowers" is still a classic, while "Juneo" is just a good work. The classic meaning is that it can have enough penetrating power to force everyone to face the synchronic overall world. However, a good work may have a patch to illustrate a certain possibility. The possibility of "Juneo" is better based on the objective world. The subjective ability is quite strong, and the percentage of integration is not too high.
