"Juno" (Hong Yun at the head), although it is telling the old-fashioned story of teenage pregnancy, the movie does not have a strong preaching meaning, but from time to time it gives people a sense of spring breeze, as if it is telling us: every moment of life, there is nothing wrong. The indispensable road is only the one you want to take. There are so many choices in life. Different choices cause different results. It seems that there is no absolute good or bad. Once you have walked, you will grow up if you bear it bravely. Juno is an eccentric 16-year-old high school girl. After she had a relationship with her good boy classmate Bleeker, she got pregnant unexpectedly. She didn't panic too much. After some struggles, she finally decided to leave the baby behind, and to prepare for the baby. Find suitable adoptive parents. I admire Juno's parents' attitude towards her after they heard the news of her pregnancy. They didn't react in a rage from ordinary parents. His father was silent for a moment, and the stepmother just asked: "Have you ever thought of a better choice?" Juno shook his head, and the stepmother said, "You have the guts. They didn't blame Juno's behavior, and then they discussed how to take good care of Juno. At the end, his father only said indifferently: "I always thought you were a girl who knew how to discipline himself." Juno, who has always been brave and strong, finally reveals the confusion that a girl should have at this moment. In fact, she doesn't know what kind of girl she is? What should I do better? Even if she makes a decision, she still needs the support of her parents. Fortunately, she has very enlightened parents who do not judge her good or bad, but only help her through this extraordinary moment together. I think that the reason Juno is so assertive is that she faces the "unmarried pregnancy" (in their perception, it belongs to adults) that teenagers avoid because of her mistakes. And underestimating her, such a distinctive personality comes from her inner strong self-confidence, and her self-confidence comes from the way her parents treat her: not because she is young, she does not trust her ability to judge, I think I can be regarded as a Children viewed by "independent" individuals are really lucky. Juno found a pair of outstanding young parents, Mark and Vanessa, for their children. They have a good home environment and a tasteful style. It can be seen that they are a family that is extremely eager to have children. The children grow up in such an environment and should be healthy and happy. Life. However, with the development of the plot, I slowly discovered that many seemingly beautiful scenes actually hide unknown gaps: Mark loves music and is a composer of commercial advertisements. Although he lives a yuppie life, his heart Always living with a childish "child", the dream of forming a group when he was young was compressed to only one after marriage The space of the room, Juno, who also loves music, seemed to awaken his sleeping child. Vanessa, who wanted to be a mother with all her heart, couldn't agree with her husband's idea of ​​"not growing up". The different values ​​of life made this young couple, who looked like golden boys and girls, take a different path. Juno, who was originally full of hope, drove madly on the straight road to soothe the hurt, finally parked the car on the side of the road, but couldn’t help tears, the young she didn’t understand why the people who loved each other Can't live together well? I like a passage that Juno's father told her later: "It is not easy for people to live happily together for a long time. The best way is to find someone who loves you. He loves you purely because of you. In a good mood, in a bad mood, beautiful as a fairy, handsome, or unattractive, no matter what you are, the person you find the right one will always see the sunshine from your body, and that is the person worthy of sticking to for a lifetime. "That's great! As I grow older, I gradually understand that "love" is not entirely a simple matter. It is conditional to love someone. Two people will attract each other. There must be certain similarities or mutual preferences. Love is actually in a certain way. To a certain extent, it is a kind of "self-projection." Falling in love with a person is not necessarily because of that person. It may be because of falling in love with an imagination that meets your own conditions. In other words, you may fall in love with a certain part. Of yourself. If you can't regard the other person as an independent individual outside your own imagination, it will be difficult to maintain this love for a long time, and it will also be difficult to maintain it. Therefore, I think Juno’s father makes a lot of sense. We may love all kinds of people. Every love has a different depth and thickness. The important thing is that the person who loves you is what he loves. Is it all you? Or is it part of your imagination and his own? I think the love that can truly last for a long time should not be just temporary enthusiasm (because love cannot be hot forever, long water is the normal state) but respect and love the other's "self", and then be willing to experience each stage of life together. And in the process of fusion with the other party, willingly let go of a certain part of the small ego for the other party. I think that being able to walk hand in hand together in the early morning and at sunset is a beautiful human landscape. The picture may not be strong enough, but there is a calm and gentleness, which makes people feel warm and contented whenever they think of it. Therefore, Juno finally realized how important a life with "love" is to her. She always thought that her thoughts were more mature than people of the same age, and that was because she had always treated other people with absolute self-awareness. She slowly discovered that Bleeker, who seemed naive and stupid, was He is really very thoughtful. He is like his favorite mint, with a fresh fragrance, not aggressive, but always gentle and insists on himself. I like the two of them on the sunny playground. Juno gently put Bleeker's hand on her belly. Bleeker smiled shyly and asked her: "Can we kiss now?" "Like every young first love, even if there are two babies between them, love still flickers freely in the sun. The scene that moved me the most was when Bleeker ran from the track and field to the hospital, facing Juno who had just given birth, he didn't say a word, just lying behind Juno, silently hugging her, and the two fingers clasped. Juno smiled and shed tears. After walking through the world of adults, they are no longer unworldly teenagers. However, Juno believes that "love" will lead them to a better future. It was also a sunny afternoon. The two were playing the guitar and singing love songs in front of the white wooden bungalow. The sunlight naturally fell on them. The dazzling and bright thing was each other in their eyes. Only the melodious singing was singing repeatedly: "I don't see what anyone can see, in anyone else......but you." The music of the movie is great, and the refreshing folk style runs through the whole movie. The songs from the 60s to the 90s convey both retro and avant-garde. Like Juno, the young female protagonist who loves music, she loves orchestras older than her, and she can always dance in the music. Through the music that has passed through the years, she tells her hope and persistence in life. An alternative life under the sun is a different experience. Believing in yourself and not drifting with the flow is what Juno calls the truly "cool" life! 』The film’s music is great, and the refreshing folk style runs through the whole movie.
