Different cultural differences have resulted in different value aesthetics.

Is Juno good?

If it is placed in the Eastern world, the film's undisturbing plot, running account-like narrative style, simple set and plain lens language can only be regarded as passing.

But in the Western world, the craze of "Juno" is beyond imagination!

At the end of almost every screening, the audience would give a standing ovation and the applause would be warm and loud.

It's like Easterners watching "Manchester by the Sea" and feeling bored, while Westerners, especially North American fans, most of them will burst into tears after watching it, even Bill Gates, who cries once after watching it.

"Juno" is a short story that tells the mentality and past of everyone's youth (North America)!

This is youth killing!

It's also a memory kill!

After a small screening in late December, in January 2002, Juno began its official full-scale screening in North America.

Even Roger Albert, a famous film critic for the Chicago Sun, gave "Juno" a high rating of 4 stars in his column: "There is no doubt that compared to the commercial "A Beautiful Mind", "Juno" was the best film of the past year! ”

However, this movie is destined to be more than just a movie.

This is the first film produced by Rose Pictures, a feminist film!

Music critic Jim Draugatis openly criticized the symbolism of Juno: "As a veteran and unabashed feminist, the father of a soon-to-be teenage girl, a journalist who regularly communicates with real-life teenagers, and an old movie fan, I hate, hate, hate this movie!"

The reason is simple, the "Juno" in the movie looks so relaxed and casual about pregnancy and abortion/abortion, which seriously challenges the values of the older generation.

Even in the matter of abortion/abortion, it has risen to the level of polemic!

Public opinion in the United States as a whole is almost divided into two categories - the life camp and the choice faction.

The pro-life faction refers to the faction that is biased towards opposing abortion/abortion on the issue of abortion/abortion of pregnant women and should give birth to children;

The Selective Sect is biased in favor of abortion/fertility rights on the issue of abortion for pregnant women, as it is considered to be a free choice for women.

What is the theme of Juno?

Choice, of course!

However, the current situation is becoming more and more intense, and the debate will rise to the level of the Constitution if it continues to be deep.

Women's rights are just a tool for Don, he doesn't want to cause trouble, so he quickly stepped forward to stop it. An internal order was issued to tell Rose Pictures and the production team of "Juno" that it was strictly forbidden to express any subjective opinions in the debate between the "life faction" and the "choice faction"!

The heroine in "Juno" did have the idea of abortion/abortion after pregnancy, but in the end it was a happy ending, the child was born smoothly, and after a slight challenge to the current mainstream values, she immediately chose to retreat and give birth quietly.

Donn also hired and called on a group of film critics through his connections to return the focus of discussion to the film itself.

Soon, another trend appeared in the comment circle -

The Guardian's Hadley Fryman commented: "Juno is like a vivid social symbol that sums up the views of the past few years that similar films have shown that abortion is unreasonable and even unimaginable. I don't think the film is intentionally promoting anti-abortion/abortion, though. ”

The New York Times' A· In his article, O. Scott explains: "Juno has a fundamental theme that includes a message that is not so much anti-abortion/abortion as a more optimistic approach to the process of adulthood. ”

Wesley Morris of The Boston Globe summed up the film: "Juno gives the smart, calm girls something they rarely see in a movie — themselves. ”

Patty Jenkins, the director of "Juno," also stepped up to the scene, saying: "It's amazing that both 'Choice' and 'Life' are inclusive of this film. Juno is like a mirror in which people of all walks of life can see themselves. ”

……

The awards season is usually reserved for literary films and horror films.

Columbia Pictures scheduled "Black Hawk Down" on this schedule, but because of the impact of the "911 incident", the film's schedule was forced to be postponed.

Down Pictures will release "Resident Evil" in January and "Saw 2" in early February.

"Resident Evil" has been released, and Donn is very confident in Zack Snyder's film, and has even given birth to the next film, which will let him challenge the idea of commercial blockbusters, such as ...... "Ghost Rider"!

Now Don is directing the preliminary work for the preparation of the movie "National Treasure", the actor Nicolas Cage has been confirmed, and the heroine Rose Byrne is no problem. The candidate for the director, after the selection and recommendation of the production department, was determined to be Ron Howard.

It's just that the influence of "Juno" will obviously not be eliminated so quickly.

An old fellow, finally showing up - Kirk Douglas!

In an interview with The Hollywood Reporter, he openly stated: "The theme of "Juno" is neither family affection, nor love, nor respect for life, but purely the triumph of feminist ideas, that is, the dispensability of men, especially fathers. I think the creator of this movie must have never been a father!"

In fact, Don had expected it a long time ago.

This old guy, the real influence is the awards season, and at this stage, he will definitely jump out and do things.

It's just that he didn't expect that with the help of "Juno", he launched an attack on Natalie Portman, his only weakness!

Although he did not publicly express his position on many words, he still made a lot of irresponsible remarks in the circle during the awards season, when filmmakers were moving around with each other and asking for favors.

"Natalie Portman, she is of Jewish descent at best, can she be considered Jewish? Her grandmother is Gaul! Under the guise of being a Jew, she wants to get through the tricks and enter our Jewish circle, but it is impossible!"

"Listen to her songs on the talk show, this bottomless rebellion is a desecration of the Talmud code! She is not celebrating Hanukkah, but Christmas, which is even more self-alienating from the Jewish community!"

"Many people say that her performance in 'Juno' is wonderful and full of bullshit! This movie promotes a false value concept from beginning to end, a contempt and disdain for the right to life! No one has the right to take the life of another person except God and the judge, and certainly not a woman! This is homicidal theory!"

……

"Am I in trouble?"

Natalie went back to school, and she apparently heard something, and her voice on the phone was weak.

Don smiled, "You mean Juno?"

"I've heard it all, it was my agent Hilda who told me, inside Hollywood...... Some big people are not happy with me, saying that I am the scum of the Jews. ”

"What?" Don was angry and amused, "what scum, nonsense." Isn't that old Kirk Douglass thing? He's targeting me, not you. Study hard, you have missed so many courses, make up for them, Hollywood, you don't have to worry. ”

Natalie was not in a high mood, and said weakly: "But I shouldn't have recorded that dirty rap, it has become an attack point." ”

Don almost laughed, "Do you know what you're wrong now?"

"Well, I should have consulted with you. ”

"Alright, trust me, I can handle it!"

Natalie hesitated and said, "But...... But it was Kirk Douglas. ”

Don snorted disdainfully, "So what?"

"Hilda told me that he was the leader of the Jewish community in Hollywood and that he had a lot of influence, especially during awards season," Natalie said. ”

Don smiled dumbly, "Nat, how do I feel like you're talking about something, are you worried about being suppressed during awards season?"

Natalie's face flushed, slightly embarrassed, "I read the newspaper...... Everyone spoke highly of me and said that my performance in "Juno" was very good. I didn't think about winning an award, but it's always okay to be nominated, right? I think my performance is qualified. ”

Tang En said lightly: "Don't worry, with me, I can't turn the sky!"

Hanging up the phone, Donne's face turned cold, he muttered for a while, and dialed Catherine Zeta-Jones's phone, the filming of "Chicago" has come to an end, and it will end in the middle of this month.

"Old things aren't honest, you know?"

"Hmm. Catherine Zeta-Jones's voice was so small that she didn't seem to be able to speak, "Mr. Walker, I ...... about this."

Don interrupted directly, "I don't want an explanation, and you can't give an explanation!"

Catherine Zeta-Jones bit her lip, "Then do as you said before?"

Don let out a faint "um".

Catherine Zeta-Jones took a deep breath and said in a very low voice: "Okay then, when I finish filming "Chicago", I will make an appointment to go to Rachel Weisz's house and give ...... Give it to you once, okay?"

"One time isn't enough!"

"That'...... So I'll spare an afternoon?"

"Let's leave it at that!"

Listening to the blind voice on the other end of the phone, Catherine Zeta-Jones sighed softly, and then pursed her mouth in a negative manner, and snorted secretly: "Don't you just want to play with women, and pull out these high-sounding reasons." If you are interested in my sister's body, I will say it directly, and I didn't say that I won't give it to you!"

The man's eyes, she had seen too much.

Every time Don looked at her, he showed a desire that he couldn't hide, as if he wanted to eat her, otherwise her husband Michael Douglas would not be so sensitive and resistant to Donne.

"One afternoon, hmph! I don't believe he can play any tricks!"

Catherine Zeta-Jones was a little disdainful, but the phone vibrated quickly, and a text message came from Done.

When she opened it, her face turned white and red - "Prepare candles, leather whips, clips, nylon ropes, vibrators, lube, and whatever else you want." ”

Catherine Zeta-Jones's lips were about to be bleeding: "This scoundrel!"

Quickly replied: "At most, it's lubricating oil, and I don't accept anything else!" ()
