July 5, Crown Cinema, Los Angeles.

Summer has always been a popular market in the North American film market, and there are also a lot of films scheduled in movie theaters.

However, although the summer vacation is not as happy as the Christmas file, most of the audiences who come to watch the movie are family-oriented, and they are all parents and children to watch the movie together.

This was the case with the Smiths.

Tony Smith, who works as a middle manager in the bank, took time out today to bring his wife and 16-year-old daughter Alice to the theater, planning to watch a movie with the whole family and enjoy the holiday.

Tony kept looking at the schedule.

"Shrek", this movie has been seen by the whole family, DreamWorks' first 3D special effects animation movie, which is really interesting.

"The Mummy 2", the orthodox sequel to the special effects blockbuster with a global box office of 400 million, seems to be very good, but considering his daughter's age, Tony still skipped this movie.

"Fast and Furious", just looking at the poster and title, you can see that this is a men's film, sprinting with all kinds of muscular men and a blood-pumping racing plot.

If Tony had come to the cinema alone, he would have chosen this movie.

"Pearl Harbor", OMG, a war movie, and the Smiths didn't like movies on this theme.

These blockbusters were not Tony's liking, so he had to target some small and medium-budget movie posters in the corner of the hall.

Unlike in China, where only four or five movies are released together in the same period, a movie theater in North America can have more than a dozen movies released together at the same time, and some of them are movies that have been showing for four or five months.

"Dad, let's watch this movie."

While Tony was still choosing, Alice, who was holding his arm, suddenly reached out and pointed to a poster in the corner.

On the poster, two young men and women look at each other and smile, the boy is wearing a sportswear, and the girl is wearing a sweatshirt and jeans, smiling very playfully, full of youthful and naughty atmosphere.

But it's not the smile on the poster that attracts Alice, it's the girl's big belly.

"Juno"

"A fresh, off-the-beaten-path dialogue comedy!"

"A special story about growing up, an encounter of youth!"

Tony didn't know why his daughter had fallen in love with this movie, but he had always doted on his daughter without hesitation, and after buying three tickets for this movie at the front desk, he held his wife with his left hand and his daughter with his right hand, and the family entered the screening hall together.

"There are more people than I thought."

The screening room of "Juno" was actually full of audiences!

Tony was a little surprised that a small-budget movie with little to no publicity, which could be seen by so many people.

But he didn't pay much attention to it, and after taking his wife and daughter to sit down, he quietly waited for the movie to start.

Soon, as the opening animation of 20th Century Fox lights up and the movie plays, the screening room falls silent and everyone looks to the big screen.

With the hilarious cheers, a campus sports meeting unfolded on the screen.

It's a cliché, but not an obtrusive beginning, and the pretty Juno falls in love with Brick, who won first place in the track and field competition, and they start trying to get in touch and date.

High school love, this is a plot that will appear in most youth movies.

Whether it is Mr. and Mrs. Smith or Alice, looking at the young campus love in the movie, they all showed a knowing smile.

Alice's eyes also have some longing, a girl of her age is in the first grade of love, and she yearns for this kind of love at first sight.

It's just that the story on the screen keeps advancing, and the sweet love didn't last long, after a young boy and girl were confused and couldn't help but steal the forbidden fruit, Juno became pregnant unexpectedly.

The audience, who was still smiling and enjoying the bright and warm pictures, soothing and pleasant lines, and sweet campus love, frowned suddenly.

Especially the audience in the screening hall, who are already parents, is even more heartbroken.

"Teenage pregnancy" is definitely not a topic that people will find interesting when they see it, on the contrary, it is very heavy and distressing.

Tony frowned and tilted his head, and couldn't help but say to Alice, "Honey, you can't do that. ”

Alice pursed her lips helplessly, she didn't think that teenage pregnancy was a good thing, but she still looked at the screen with some anticipation, wanting to see how the follow-up story would develop, and how Juno, who was the same age as her, would face this sudden accident.

Fortunately, the director did not position the film as a serious social topic, but still focused on youth comedy.

The picture is still full of warm colors, the lens language is still bright and comfortable, and even the soundtrack is still so relaxed and naughty.

And after being pregnant, Juno was even more shocking.

She is not affected by the rumors around her at all, she still does her own thing, the unceremonious middle finger in the face of her friend's strange eyes, and the other party who can always refute with witty and humorous words in the face of the teacher's preaching is speechless.

Juno, who is pregnant, is still chic, and she is still the cool girl with a special personality and uniqueness.

It was Brick's behavior that made many viewers frown again and again, cowardly, evasive, afraid to take responsibility, and hesitant, which is what most high school boys look like in reality, without responsibility.

Even Alice, who was attracted by Brick's sunny and handsome image at first, couldn't help frowning in disgust.

However, as the story progresses, Juno wants to have an abortion, and then she dismisses her mind and decides to give birth, wanting to find adoptive parents......

In the process of these events, Juno struggles with his teenage love, and at the same time shows ease in personal choice, love and life orientation, which makes the character more and more charming.

Under Scarlett's perfect interpretation, a unique girl with frequent golden sentences, quirky, and full of personality has entered the hearts of all audiences.

Both young and middle-aged people are deeply attracted by the special Juneau, and they laugh frequently.

"I mean, I'm pregnant, so can I play some other pranks?"

"Oh! Oh my God, I'm like a planet right now! ”

"Is it possible that I just ate too much?"

"How do I look?"

"Like an inexperienced mother, scared and at a loss."

"FK, my amniotic water is broken, can you hurry up?"

The witty words make the topic of "teenage pregnancy" not heavy and serious, and even a little interesting.

But Juno isn't a girl who can only talk about funny movies, and the story isn't a pure funny story.

"When a woman is pregnant, she becomes a mother; When a child is born, a man becomes a father. ”

"I'm just wondering, is it possible for two people to be together forever? I just want to know, is it possible. Two people can live happily ever after. ”

"If I were a free-growing wildflower, I would only wish you were my little bee."

Brick, who originally only planned to escape, under the influence and leadership of Juno, he gradually understood what love is, what responsibility and dedication are, and slowly matured.

Juno's change of mentality, Brick's growth, and the encouragement and support of his family all subtly affect the audience's mood under the humorous and humorous comedy tone.

Soon, the movie came to an end, and Juno finally gave birth to this unexpected baby with the encouragement and support of her family and boyfriend, and the young couple looked at the sleeping child in their arms tenderly and sweetly, their eyes were full of tenderness and love.

The scene turns, in a cozy cottage, Juno's parents hold their children and stand at the door to greet Brick, who has just finished a football game.

At home, he was admitted to a university not far from home, and Juno, who had just finished studying, was brewing milk powder for the baby in the kitchen.

With the child in one hand, Brick walked into the kitchen and reached out to put his hand around Juno's waist.

Without hesitation, Juno turned around and gave a passionate kiss.

At this moment when she was romantic and beautiful, and seemed to be happy, Juno in the picture raised her signature gesture at the camera, a disdainful middle finger.

After giving birth to a child, while understanding the responsibilities of a mother, Juno is still the quirky, naughty and cute Juno!

Looking at the ending shot that finally broke the fourth wall, looking at Juno's middle finger that was raised high and covering the side faces of the two, there was a round of applause and whistles in the screening room.

Tony also let out a long breath and applauded, "I like this young man Brick, although he has been confused and shaken in his heart, he has still grown up and become a wonderful father. ”

"Nope! Juno is the coolest! Alice, who was beside her, had red cheeks with excitement and shouted excitedly: "Juno is so cool, I want to be a girl like Juno!" ”

"I never thought pregnancy would be such a cool thing!"

“NO！” Tony glared at his daughter angrily, this is absolutely not good!
