A straightforward and unrestrained poem——Analysis of the theme of "Juno"

The movie "Juno" is like a straightforward and unrestrained poem in my eyes. Isn't there a poem by Su Shi that reads "Lands and peaks", then I will interpret "Ju Nuo" as a straightforward and unrestrained poem. The theme of the film "Juno" seems to be the same as that of domestic youth-themed films. In fact, what "Juno" wants to express is not only the impulses of adolescent teenagers, but also the society's tolerance for teenagers who have taken detours. The key to whether a movie can be generally accepted by the audience is its theme. Movies that express their themes straight to the point are domestic, but they are commonplace in Western movies. "Juno" uses the scene of Juno taking off his pants to point out the impulse of adolescence at the beginning, which is much larger than domestic movies, but it plays a role in expressing the theme. Juno's family accepts Juno's pregnancy with ease and the plot of the Mark Venissas' sincere adoption of Juno's child also highlights the theme of the film. All in all, the theme of "Vermilion Falls" surprised me too much, and it made me look at this film with the eyes of appreciating a straightforward and unrestrained poem. In my opinion, the contradictions and conflicts of "Juno" are the ones that best highlight its straightforward and unrestrained poetry. If a movie can create a conflict that is both reasonable and ingenious, it will definitely increase the attraction of the movie. The contradiction in "Juno" is different from many domestic films. It does not focus on the issue of "whether or not to be born", but focuses on the issue of "raised or not"; it does not focus on the issue of "how to hide from parents", but rather Emphasizes the issue of "how to solve it with parents"; instead of focusing on the issue of "how society will condemn adolescents", it focuses on the issue of "how to encourage them to come out". What struck me the most about the film was the conflict after Juno decided to hand over his child to the Mark Venissas. When Juno learned that the couple was about to divorce because of their children, he left a note and drove away. The long-range shot at this time is a transition from the follow-up shots of the Marc Venissa and his wife. While sublimating the contradictions and conflicts, it also endows the subject with a straightforward poetic quality. Judging from our usual movie-watching habits, a successful movie must have characters with distinct characters. I have to admit, I was very impressed by Venezia in Juno. Venissa is a very motherly character. She envied women with children very much, and she believed that being a mother was her mission. When I saw her crouch down and stroke Juno's belly, rejoicing because she could feel the movement of the fetus, Venissa's maternal brilliance was on full display. This reminds me of many couples in the country who are infertile by themselves, and who, like Venissa, yearn to always have a child, but always refuse to adopt. From this point of view, Venissa's behavior is worth advocating, and at the same time, it also accommodates the rebellious girl Juno to a certain extent. This better highlights the theme of inclusion of detoured teens. In general, the thematic implication of "Juno" is youth and tolerance, common and positive. Therefore, it is only logical that Juno is regarded as a classic. Film, however, is a flawed art, and it cannot be flawless. For example, in the film, Juno, who is only 16 years old, runs around with a big belly and rarely shows her discomfort. In life, even an adult will become weak when pregnant, let alone a teenager who is in the growing body stage? This is obviously not in line with the logic of life. This is the biggest shortcoming of the film "Juno". The thematic implication of "Juno" is really like a straightforward and unrestrained poem, which refreshed my understanding of the most Western films to the greatest extent. Whether it is its theme, contradictions, or the performance of the characters are perfect. Its bright spots are always greater than its shortcomings. It is precisely because of the shortcomings that we can see the growth process of a director or even a type of film. As Juno's dad said: "No matter what you do, Dad supports you." Let's support the growth of good movies together!
