Juno of Stone Garden , sixteen years old, high school student, rock and roll, two months and four days pregnant. Guess what happens next?
A dark movie?
The pregnant underage girl is squeezed out as a stranger, alone with the suffering of fate, struggling in grief, anger and hopelessness, to accuse the ruthlessness of this society?
No, no, no, the good thing about the small production film "Juneo" is its peace. Its outstandingness comes from its gentleness.
It gently decided to let Juno give birth to the child, not because she is a Christian, but because a classmate once told her that "the baby already has fingernails."
Although "cool" has always been considered a word that has been abused, I still have to say that Juno is cool.
She would sit on the sofa at the door of her boyfriend's house, lift her legs up, and dang her pipe to announce to him that she was pregnant.
Will personally choose adopters for the fetus in the womb-a middle-class couple who has been infertile for many years, Mark and Vanessa.
She would even argue with fellow rock lover Mark whether the golden age of rock was in 1993 or 1977, and whether Gordon Louis and Dario Aquido are the real masters of horror movies.
For some reason, the collective "pregnancy" of movies in the past six months: "One Night", "Hostess", "April Three Weeks and Two Days", and "Juneo", it seems that as long as the heroine bears a "in which Someone has a big belly, and the film's exploration of human nature will become more full.
But even in such an alternative overall context, "Juneo" is still unique and cannot be ignored.
Its special feature is that it gives the whole pregnancy event a kind of childish mood, but it is not only childish, just as it does not speak lightly of love and kindness, but spreads the gentle and firm human power in the daily life in the details.
I always remember that scene-
Juno is about to give birth, but accidentally learns that Mark will divorce Vanessa.
On the way home, she drove the car to the side of the road and cried: childishly squeezed her mouth, stroked her belly helplessly, and wiped her nose with her cuff.
After crying, we still have to go on the road, just like we do at every level of life. How else?
No wonder she will be nominated for an Oscar for Best Actress-Alan Page, the little demon girl, is too complicated.
Although from "Hard Candy" to "Juneo", she played underage girls, but please note that under her tender skin lies an old soul like a hidden weapon.
Compared with Natalie Portman, who is also famous for her "Lolita" image, Allen is undoubtedly less beautiful, but more marginal. This temperament is sharp and lethal, which may cause discomfort, but It's impressive.
I heard that Cate Blanchett was also nominated for this nomination, so I have to wait and see who is the best actress in this Oscar.
Let us return to this movie, and return to its feminist meaning
-the
fetus’ biological father is still a child, and the only way he can think of facing the fetus is to hold a bunch of donuts and invite Juno to go. Look at "Children in a Basket."
The adoptive father of the fetus escaped. Before becoming Kurt Cobain, he was not ready to be a father.
Oh, it's a poem by Eluya, men will only grow old, not mature.
Only then will we come to the logical conclusion, as Goethe said, eternal women lead us to ascend.
In this way, the romantic pregnancy of high school student Juno eventually became a woman-to-woman affair.
And I want to know, when the years pass, will Juno become a quiet woman?
Will she make apple pie for her children in the golden sun in the summer afternoon, while listening to Runaway's song?
It should be, because, you know, in fact, there will be as much gentleness as there is unruly.
