1916 Sharp Theme
The sixth update today, please recommend and subscribe!
The timely review of "Empire" and "Movie Manual" obviously praised "Juno". For Evan Bell's most bold attempt in his career as a director, he presented a sketch with a light sunshine. It was completely different from "perfume" and "blood color is coming", and it was even more humorous and relaxed than "Sunny Little Beauty". However, the thickness of the entire work did not weaken due to the comedy style of the movie, which still caused people to think infinitely.
Chris v Van Punk, who came to Venice to support Evan Bell, published an article on "Movie Review" to thoroughly analyze "Juno".
"The sharp theme, the exquisite feast cooked by Evan Bell", Chris Van Punk wrote the film review in a rare slightly joking tone, which also shows his love for the entire work.
"When we face works that we like very much, we often have a state of aphasia. No matter how gorgeous the rhetoric, how exquisite the praise, or how stunning the praise, we cannot express our inner joy, because any sentence will appear pale and powerless, and we cannot clearly convey the surging emotions in our hearts. "Juno, this is such a work, with light and humorous lines, sunny and fresh pictures, and playful personalities. All of this is like a newly released chocolate donut, which is definitely a combination of sweetness and beauty.
‘Juno, the narrative style is destined. This is a work that tends to be comedy. Compared to the heavy topics of pregnancy and abortion of underage, ‘Juno, from the first second of the movie, let all viewers enter a relaxed and exciting movie viewing experience. In a trance, we only remember the smile on our faces, but forget the heavyness of the story. But the fact is exactly the opposite. When such a story is branded by Evan Bell, we have to sigh that Evan uses seemingly simple and humorous details to construct a profound and profound theme for us, which triggers our infinite reflection.
Just as the theme of the story, underage pregnancy and abortion are the first messages conveyed by the movie.
When Juno confirmed that she was pregnant, her first reaction to her friend Lea was abortion. This is the social reality, because Juno, who is only sixteen years old, cannot shoulder the responsibility of her children. When the prefix of minors is united with her mother, this has become the heaviest part of the social reality.
During the entire film, there was not much writing about this, but Evan still conveyed this sense of social heaviness through the perspectives of B-super technicians, school teachers, etc. People's attitudes towards pregnancy in minors are condemned, incomprehensible, and even despised. But Evan told us: You are not qualified to judge others, because you are not the person involved, and you will never know the real situation of the person involved.
In fact, what Evan really wants to tell us through "Juno" is that no one wants to face such a fact that even if the parties are unwilling, society does not need to condemn it too much, because every look is a sharp sword projected on the parties. Not everyone can become Juno. They cannot bear the pressure of lifting and completely collapse, resulting in self-deprecation. Looking back on the previous stories about minor pregnancy, under the pressure of society, the fragmented memories can easily pick up the "infant killing girl," and tell the story of a girl who died of an accidental childbirth from a completely cold and rational perspective. It is a completely cold movie, which looks very serious and deep in showing early pregnancy and ethics.
Underage pregnancy should be controlled, which raises new issues for the education of the entire society; but if after something happens, it is more appropriate to learn to accept, guide, and adjust, and make society more tolerant, and to make the problem of underage pregnancy progress more reasonably than condemnation, blame, contempt, and exclusion?
There are very few shots of Evan writing about abortion, but he clearly expressed his point of view: that is choice! Evan also blurred this point of view, not just a choice for abortion, but also a choice for life. During our growth process, there are countless choices that need to be decided, and even every day there are choices in the brain, such as whether I should read this review, or whether I should think or despise after reading this review. Choice is an indispensable part of our lives and is also a direct means to shape our lives.
But we often magnify the importance of choices infinitely. Many people like to say that if I chose Harvard University, maybe my life would be different now; if I chose baseball, maybe I would have a place in the major leagues now; if I chose Jenny as my prom partner, maybe we would have lived happily now... It seems that different choices are the culprits that lead to a mess of our lives. When we forget that these choices are all decided by ourselves.
Serious problems like abortion are actually happening every day. When we learn whether cancer is conservative or surgical treatment, whether it is a Democratic or Republican in the presidential election, whether it is a self-employed or an entry into a company, these choices will affect our lives. But we forget that choice is important, but more importantly, the persistence and hard work after the choice. On the issue of abortion, the debate between life or choice has never stopped Evan filmed a life-preserving and all
The story of joy, but the story does not describe abortion too much, but because "the baby has nails, Juno retreats. But in fact, Evan clearly expressed his views. He supports everyone's choices, and once he makes a choice, he must bravely take on his future, just like Juno: Even if he burst into tears and feels reluctant to leave after giving birth, the child is already Vanessa's, which is the future of the child, and her future is to continue with Brick.
The same problem of pregnancy and abortion is similar to the comedy perspective of "a night's belly," but Evan conveys more and more information, such as not evaluating other people's lives easily, such as the choice of growth is essential but not the most important. No wonder some people like to call "Juno, the little sunny beauty in 208, because the information conveyed in the movie is positive and sunny; no wonder Evan Bell likes to call it "mysterious skin," the second work afterwards, is not a work about pregnancy, but a story of growth. We should not only see the story itself, but also see the reflections hidden behind the story on our lives.
Just like Evan's directorial style, he always likes to hide countless thoughts in the story, and then let the audience discover and think by themselves. In "Juno, we should see more information in this story. Family This is the second message Evan conveys to us.
Through the story of "Juno, Evan explores the divorce problem in the United States and the impact of divorced families on the growth of children. On the surface, Juno will get pregnant because she and Brick have made physical explorations. It seems that it is just a hasty decision, but the deep meaning hidden behind it is the influence of Juno's family. The divorce of parents and the mother does not show up all year round, which is considered to be "abandoned", while the father remarried. In such a family, Juno has questions about love and staying together, and at the same time she also means that she has gained more freedom, a freedom that is almost similar to indulgence. So, when Juno confirmed that she wanted to give birth to the child and hand it over to the adopted family, she chose Mark and Vanessa, a perfect family.
What Juno believes in love and marriage is loyalty. She is so confident about her vows. When Mark told him that she was going to divorce, Juno said, "At least you were in love when you got married, she could not accept this fact because she once thought that at least there should be a perfect family in this world.
In Evan's perspective, the families we show us have some kind of incompleteness, the Juno family is the same as the Vanessa family, and the Brick family and the Leah family never heard information about their fathers. In a broken family, will the chance of a minor get pregnant increase? And what impact will the child's growth be? This is not only a problem of pregnancy, but also a problem of the lack of emotional ties in the entire society. Evan uses this hidden way to show it to all of us so fiercely.
Responsibility, this is the third message Evan conveys to all audiences, and it is also the part that complements the family.
Judging from the three main men in the story, Juno's father Mike, Vanessa's husband Mark, and the child's father Brick.
Mike had a failed marriage, and his second marriage seemed to be very smooth. He supported his family, cared about his daughter, and supported the family with his slightly clumsy fatherly love. So Juno embarked on the right path, and Mike was the most responsible role.
Brick is still a child, so when he learned that Juno was pregnant, he was so overwhelmed that he hurt Juno. So he was also excluded during the entire pregnancy because he could not shoulder such responsibilities at all! Mark is Brick's grown-up version. Even in a marriage, he was still addicted to his rock and horror world, unwilling to take on the responsibility of his father, and persistently wanting to pursue his dreams.
Regarding responsibility, Evan finally gave his answer. If you can't shoulder the responsibility, then please leave - this is the ending of Mark; if you are willing to shoulder the responsibility, even if you don't have the ability yet, please work hard - this is the ending of Brick; if you were irresponsible and now understand the truth, please be happy - this is the ending of Mike.
Of course, in addition to this information, there are many other information in the story, such as the dreams maintained by Mark, the independence and autonomy maintained by Juno, and the growth maintained by Brick. Obviously, "Juno, such a work is worth our repeated savoring.
Without deep bitterness, no heavy darkness, no sensational tears, no preaching and nagging, Evan chose to use such a relaxed way to blend all the profound themes into a humorous story, and cooked a delicate and delicious meal, allowing us to enjoy this dinner happily, and then afterwards in our mouths. In the director's position, Evan once again amazed us with his superb talent."
