I watched "Juno"



One of friends recommended this movie. She praised about good acting and nice musics. I liked this movie because it was not too serious, rather cheerful.

Positive view : The main actor and actress were cute and scenes were pretty. The girl, Juno , was pregnant accidentally and she found the solution easily. And her parents accepted her opinion peacefully. Actually, the pregnancy of teenager is serious problem. The pregnant girl might be confused (because she has never experienced it before) and parents would be overwhelmed by worry. But in this movie, there was nobody to cry or get angry. Moreover, it was happy ending. A baby was adopted by good woman. And Juno and her boyfriend regained their ordinary and peaceful life.

Negative view: Well, having a baby is very important event in a person's life. Especially, for women, they raise baby in their body for 10 months. Also they always concern about the future of the baby. Therefore, they plan and prepare for pregnancy. Many women experience various changes of their body. Even adults are afraid of those changes. But in this movie, there is no seriousness like real situation. She kept going to school, and do every activities. She found a couple who want to adopt baby. And she got along with this couple and notify them about baby. She seemed to think the baby is the couple's but not her baby. In the end, this couple divorced. But the woman adopted the baby, so she became a single mother. If same situation happened in Korea, everything might turn into totally tragic. Maybe the movie shows an unrealizable hope of people who want to solve this kind of social problems.(Teenagers' pregnancy, single moms, teenager parents...)

I've heard a lot about this movie, but I haven't seen it yet. Now I want to even more. You do a very nice analysis of its different aspects and implications.
