Looking back at that time, the red and swollen skin hurts fiercely, thinking it is the price of youth. It is not only the sun that can burn people, but also the hormones that are too late to suppress and the 16-year-old romance that has not stepped on the brakes, and all of these will give birth in the spring.
A heavy topic is easy to fall into the dead end of preaching, but "Juneo" obviously takes the audience's pulse, and gently crosses the barriers of stagnation, adopting the strategy of avoiding the heavy and "lighting". "Lightness" is not a downplaying theme, such as adolescent restlessness, unexpected pregnancy, and the solution of difficult problems. "Lightness" is the original ingenuity of starting anew, not falling apart, and the joint conspiracy of directors and screenwriters.
[It has nothing to do with abortion]
Many people regard "Juneo" as a youth education film, thinking that Americans adopt a kind of entertaining and entertaining attitude to carry out a serious film practice. In fact, this film does not want to take the audience The introduction of ready-made answers, such as what to do if you are pregnant, and the attitude of the parents, have already been discussed and commented on, and they have lost their heads. What the screenwriter and director have to do is how to find a different way and take a little brainstorming adventure.
If it's just a rough look, Juno has at least three "retrograde" scenes in the film, either passing through a pair of running boys or looking up in the strange eyes of schoolmates. She wore a dark red sweater and left the camera with a back view, so that the audience could not help but flash the scenes from "Fruit Candies": This time, Little Loli won't kill a big bad wolf again, right? These images seem to herald Juno's entangled rebellion, about to overwhelm the river. However, the film soon turned the tide and immediately ended, no longer entangled in whether Juno would stir up the school and society. Just like the "ten tons" SunnyD orange juice that Juno drank in the movie, although it will inevitably make you speechless, it is actually harmless. It is also like a roll of rope she bought from a drugstore (in fact, it is a hay stick called Red Licorice Rope. Edible), when she wrapped it around a tree to "hang" it, but it broke abruptly. The audience finds that they have been fooled. It turns out that Juno will not commit suicide as an unforgettable sign of the problem girls in other girl problem films. This is the clarification and prologue of the keynote of the whole film, and the "lightness" of the film also begins.
Juno may have continued the rebellious gene of her biological mother: at a very young age, Juno's mother left her to find a new life in Arizona. Every Valentine's Day, the angry mother sends her a gift: a cactus. If this is not disgusting, at least it is evil, and it means that "love is not as good as a rose with thorns, which is to pot your cactus to death." I want to come to Juno, who is accustomed to such gifts every year, but his love is not much better. But her father, an H-VAC engineer (an old man who specializes in repairing heating, ventilation, and air-conditioning equipment) is much more cute, and he found a stepmother who loves dogs but did not raise them (because Juno is allergic to dog saliva) , The two lived for ten years. Juno, who walks in compliance with the rules and slanting the sword, is bound to experience a little emotional struggle and choice, but this time, it has nothing to do with heavy moral questioning.
The only person responsible for moral inquiry is Su-Chin (a face of Chinese descent, this kind of presumption seems to say that Asians like moral preaching?), she held a sign in front of the Women Now abortion aid clinic chanting slogans against abortion, and Zhu Promise meets unexpectedly. Juno is really irritating, too. You didn't do some homework last night, or did you want some medicine or something paradoxical, so Su Qin flickered at a loss. On the contrary, Su Qin's sentence "Maybe the child has already grown nails", awakened the dreamer, and suddenly awakened Juno's motherhood, so she decided to give birth to the child, "for those who might need him." In any case, it was not moral considerations that made Juno rush out of the clinic and Su Qin's joy to thank the Lord for the miracle, but human care. "Nail"-such a concrete object, as if touched, it is far more transparent than a slogan. "Abortion", a hot potato in the hands of social scholars, vindicators, or religious figures, is so easily thrown away lightly and lightly, so we don’t have to spend our saliva in a fierce debate between pros and cons, and we don’t have to spend our energy to watch. The protagonist is pressured by public opinion and introspection, and is exhausted. Anyway, after Juno’s parents learned that she was pregnant, only the brainwaves short-circuited, and they immediately started to run at full speed to help her consider the things after the baby was born. The stepmother Brenda even took a few seconds to calculate all the preparations for the baby. Cost. Parents didn’t yell, so don’t be surprised. Otherwise, we will be like the poor doctor who performed the CT examination for Juno in the movie. Because the little girl despised the problem girl, he was greatly affected by the problem girl’s mother. Contempt for a while.
In fact, the greatest human concern is not to portray the suffering of life and death when abortion is required, but to portray the tenderness and kindness in the birth of life. In this regard, the wisdom that "Juneo" highlights is much smarter.
[Boys are ignorant, girls are adorable]
Anyone who knows Ellen Page’s acting skills probably foresaw her vigor in "Juneo". In fact, she played Juno’s actions at the beginning of the film enough to confirm this: hand-carry and witness her pregnancy" Material evidence"-the sofa goes to the door of Bleeker's house, with a carpet of big motley tigers under his feet, and Holmes' pipe in his mouth... The premature route is obvious, in contrast, Bleeker's bright yellow panties have shaved their legs clean. The big white legs are suspiciously immature. In this way, when the precocious fruit was conceived in October, when the girls were busy looking for caring adopters, the boys were still chewing on Tic-Tac mints.
I believe Juno did not grow up overnight. Perhaps the parents who named her had already thought of this. The couple Mark and Venasa who wanted to adopt children asked Juno why he named it because of the capital of Alaska (Juneau, the capital of Alaska, pronunciation is similar to Juno). Juno said no, it was because of the Roman myth, Jupiter. Te (Zeus)'s wife is called by this name, she is the god of women, marriage and motherhood. Everything showed that Juno had a mission when she fell to the ground, no wonder she could deal with it calmly after she was pregnant with a child. We can ignore the hamburger phone and the large beverage barrel in her hand, because these are just the annual rings on her body, which really shows that she is mature, but her smart mind. You can say that she was pampered by her parents, but when her father accompanied her to find Mark and Venasa, she quickly settled the matter of adoption. She realizes that the child she conceives in a hurry can't feel safe, so she might as well find a prospective parent who has been preparing hard for him/her for many years. Perhaps feminists will notice Juno's stubbornness, but in fact, she is far from being a flag-bearer of feminism. She is more childish and drowns her excesses.
The girls have grown up and sprouted, what are the boys doing?
In the early days of the film, my male perspective always contradicted the omniscience of women. Juno and her friends had a lively discussion about how to find a suitable adopter. The boys just ran through again and again, never caring about food or vegetables. Including Mark, Venasa's husband, seemed to be packaged by Venasa as an overly depressive musical nerd, as if Venasa could be desperate for his children, and he only needed to settle down in a small room. He thought that a cartoon of a big-bellied girl and a bloody horror film could stir the heartstrings of the girl. He didn't know that the girl Juno was already a woman, and she would never be pulled into the water by her innocence on the outside. So when Mark chose to quit because he was not ready to be a father, Juno gave an inspirational note in time. When he opened it, it was the secret code of the two women Juno and Venasa: If you continue, I too continue. Mark is completely out of the game under the maternal offensive of women.
The screenwriter left the lottery to Brick. In the beginning, Brick, who was identified as a soft egg by us, finally reaped Juno's heart and persisted. If we bring it back to see, Brick is the silent father Yishan. Juno admires perhaps his only hobby is the mint-flavored Tic-tac. In my opinion, it is not easy to always like a brand of candy and eat it without getting greasy for ten or eight years, not to mention that Juno’s panties are always cherished. Coupled with the constant running for several miles a day, Juno's never betrayal when he was jealous when he changed his girlfriend, are enough to make Brick's "new good man" title. In our inadvertence, Brick ran a 400-meter championship and broke the regional record, causing the other men who pretended to be arrogant and mocking Juno to shut their mouths in disgrace.
Finally, Peter Pan followed Goddess Juno step by step and grew up slowly. And Goddess Juno finally wiped away the tears on her face, started the car, and headed north. You can remember this shot: a shipwreck on the right side of the river is already dry and broken, while a full-loaded train on the left is moving forward.
