My review on Juno


Juno is a funny and refreshing movie.The heavy subject of having teenaged pregnancy which is the focus of the film has been shown through the perspective of the pregnant teenager ,Juno.She is not your typical promiscuous teenager in fact she just did it more out of curiosity not knowing the full weight of some rare chance of a big consequence.The teenaged father is Bleeker the awkward yet cute young boy whose passion for jogging helps him escape the harsh reality of what had happened.Juno faced the situation in a realistic approach seeking an adoptive pair for her child as soon as she gives birth. She felt different being stared at a school with a bulging tummy but she was never crying in the movie always just feeling animosity towards the situation and thinking like a passive rock star without a care in the world.She develops raport with the adoptive parents she chose, the soon to be adoptive mother is Jennifer Garner. The Alias star plays a very girly role whose fulfillment in life lies in her hands by making her a mother. The adoptive father is a commercial music composer who Juno relates very much with and soon she later finds out that the relationship of the husband and wife was going down the drain.She soon realized that maturity doesnt come with age. Juno is realistic and finds out soon enough she cant raise the baby and be a highschool student still so she gives her baby to Jennifer Garner and realized in the process that she does love Bleeker and the sweetest thing she did was give him a carton of tic tacs it was her surrender to reality and truth. The movie must have made teenage pregnancy look cooler than ever but there are lessons that should not be missed. When a girl or woman screws up and get pregnant there should be no logic that should tell her to kill the life inside her. Every woman is a temple of life and abortion is always killing a life no matter how small it is. Parents should not abandon their children when they screw up but support them even if it hurts them because nothing will change its already there and abandoning is an escape of immaturity.I guess in the end we all have choices and those choices bring in consequences, the thing is the consequences can suck last a lifetime but the wonderful thing about life which the movie showed is that life goes on and change is constant and tomorrow Juno wakes up without the bump anymore but responsibly lost it.
