Some people compare "Juneo" to last year's "Little Girl Sunshine", a wonderful film full of independent spirit. In fact, when watching this film, I didn't encounter the touch of "Little Girl Sunshine". Let's be honest. Of course there are parts of the film that I like, but there is generally no chemical reaction between each other, which is also impossible.
Of course, the heroine Juno played by Elaine Page is quite attractive. A maverick look is enough to fascinate all beings. The shaping of this character is definitely an iconic level, and a new generation of idols is born. NS. After a 16-year-old high school girl got pregnant unexpectedly, the film created a perfect environment for her to be too windy and smooth, which formed a strong contrast with the current situation of our motherland, which greatly stimulated some domestic audiences, so cultural differences, democratic openness, etc. Wait for the hat to fly out.
The strange brilliance of the American dream is so attractive, and the film is a perfect package for this illusory dream, and the director Jason Reitman is a typical dream maker. Reitman has only directed one comedy "Thank You for Smoking" in the past, and he was slightly talented. Sometimes the director’s ideology is manifested in certain film works, such as "Juneo" and other themes, from which you can see the traces of feminist thinking in it. The maverick Juno is pregnant. In this matter, I made the decision from beginning to end. She took the initiative to seduce Brick, and then he didn't want Brick to be responsible. She chose abortion or childbirth, and went to her adoptive parents. In all aspects, she showed the strong posture of a 16-year-old punk girl.
If everything is too perfect, it is very doubtful. Juno's choice did not receive any opposition from her parents, and instead helped her deal with the adoption matters. In the film, such enlightened parents have no harsh words, as if they only exist in fairy tales. Even if openness is like American society, they may not necessarily have such democratic family relations. American conservatism has never It has been reduced, and the churches are still there. The director only designed such a perfect family from his own standpoint. It can only be a wish rather than a reality. So when you are so touched by the warmth of this movie, I have to burst this big bubble. , And then tell you that this is an illusion painted by liberals according to their own imagination. Of course, if someone honestly says that there is no such family in the United States, of course everything is possible, but this is absolutely abnormal, and what the movie presents is generally deceptive.
Although he disagrees with the story of the film, he likes the heroine for no reason. In fact, I was even more impressed by the adoptive father Mike Juno was looking for for his children, an immature adult man who loved rock music and movies but was constrained in his family life. In fact, many people do not agree with Mike, think he is immature, think he is always running away. In fact, another meaning of maturity is sophistication and pragmatism. In fact, we are all too mature and mature enough to be content with the status quo, so we have long lost our passion and dreams, and even have no impulse. The appearance of Juno was the fuse for Mike's transformation. Her commonality with music activated his dream. He finally chose to leave Vanessa to pursue what he really wanted. Perhaps it was this immaturity that made him truly Have the courage to speak frankly what you think, instead of hiding your true feelings as before. In the past, Mike lost himself under the leadership of Vanessa, and when he found that he still had a dream to chase, he finally dared to face Vanessa and tell him his choice, whether it was evasion of responsibility or the courage to realize himself. Everyone has different opinions, and there is no standard answer to life, you can only find it yourself.
In the end, the film arranges Juno to fall in love with Poly again, which is not considered as love at the end. Perhaps there may not be some youthful competitive factors in it. When the film comes to an abrupt end and everything is drawn to a satisfactory end, then, from now on, all the factors that pose troubles to life will be clear, just to keep a warm story, sometimes we will think of what that child will be like in the future, Zhu Can Nuo not care about everything that has happened now, when she grows up? Can all the troubles be solved so easily? The movie ends up like a castle in the sky, only allowing the audience to see the beauty on the clouds, and then making you forget how to go downstairs. This is how I think "Juneo" is far inferior to last year's "Little Sunshine". It is always deliberately whitewashing some kind of beautiful illusion. Maybe everyone is more willing to choose the beautiful between the beautiful and the cruel, but the growth is always accompanied by a step. To understand the other side of the world step by step, it is necessary to face reality.
