Until I saw the note that Juno wrote to the adoptive mother, I thought I could understand all the emotions and courage in it.

After all, when Juno was completely unprepared, the pregnancy situation made her feel at a loss; the background of the decision to give birth may be due to fear of surgery, or she did not know the fear at all. She felt that it was only 30 weeks of embarrassment, and she did not expect it at all. What will this bring her.

After all, for an adoptive mother who is eager to want a child, she is helpless about her infertility, and she is helpless for her infinite desire for children to be placed on others. Even if she knows clearly that she likes children and she needs a child, she does not know what kind of child, what kind of father and what kind of family will face her.

Fortunately, they all persisted to the end. Juno cried helplessly when she saw that the adopted couple was in fact dying in name and facing divorce. She did not expect that her future child would have such a fate. She might just think that her child might not be adopted. Anyway, calm down. She wrote a note:

If you are still in, I am still in...

This also gave the adoptive mother immense courage. She was divorced, but she still adopted Juno's child and regarded it as a treasure.

I don't know if I can understand it this way: a woman's sense of responsibility is born because it is forced out. What fate brings them is that they have to face the physical needs and choices of life. They have no retreat and can only move forward.

In contrast, let's take a look at the underage dad who brought this child into the world and the divorced dad who is not mentally prepared. In fact, women feel that they are suddenly unprepared when they encounter a child, but they use it to face it. The fathers looked at a loss and wanted to escape, which disappointed me, but I also admitted that it was very realistic. As the adopted mother said in the film:

When a woman becomes pregnant, she has become a mother; and only after the child is born, a man becomes a father.

At the moment of becoming a father, the change of psychology and role may be difficult for a man. But I know that my father really loves his daughter. The father of Juno in the film unconditionally supports his daughter, even if she is only 16 years old as a minor, and even if she does things that shouldn't be done at this age, her father calmly accepted all this and tried his best to help her through. This is the feeling of a great parent.

No matter what, the film is great and touching. Cheers for the brave Juno and the single adoptive mother!

    Political stances aside, the film sheds light on children who stole the forbidden fruit. Even a cool girl like Juno is lucky enough to meet such an enlightened environment and parents to be relieved. His dad once said: The best thing you can do is to find somebody who loves you for exactly what you are, good mood, bad mood; beautiful, ugly.

Juno quotes

  • Paulie Bleeker: [to Juno] Can we make out now?

  • Mark Loring: [about the gender of the unborn baby] Well, it can really only go two ways.

    Juno MacGuff: That's what you think. I drink tons of booze so you might get one of those scary neuter-babies that's born without junk.

    Mark Loring: Junk?

    Juno MacGuff: You know... its parts...

    Mark Loring: I know what junk is. We definitely want it to have junk.

    Juno MacGuff: Well don't worry about it. My step-mom is forcing me to eat really healthy. She won't even let me stand in front of the microwave or eat red M&M's.
