Chapter 43: Cool Girl Juno Appears

July 5, Crown Cinema, Los Angeles.

The summer season has always been a popular market in the North American film market, and cinemas have a lot of films scheduled.

However, although the summer vacation is not as fun as the Christmas season, most of the moviegoers are family units, and parents take their children to watch the movie together.

Such was the case with the Smith family.

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

Tony kept looking at the schedule.

"Shrek", the whole family has already watched this movie. DreamWorks' first 3D special effects animated movie is really interesting.

"The Mummy 2", the orthodox sequel to the special effects blockbuster that grossed 400 million worldwide, seemed to be very good, but considering the age of his daughter, Tony still skipped the movie.

"The Fast and the Furious", just by looking at the poster and title, you can tell that this is a man's movie, with all kinds of muscular men sprinting and exciting racing plots.

If Tony came to the cinema alone, he would definitely choose this movie.

"Pearl Harbor", OMG, is a war movie. Neither the Smith family likes movies with this theme.

None of these blockbusters were to Tony's liking, so he had no choice but to focus on some small and medium-budget movie posters placed in the corner of the hall.

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

“Dad, let’s watch this movie.

While Tony was still making a choice, Alice, who was holding his arm, suddenly pointed at 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. Their smiles are very playful, exuding a youthful and naughty atmosphere.

But what attracted Alice was not the smile on the poster, but the girl's big belly.

"Juno"

"A fresh, unusual dialogue comedy!"

"A special story about growing up, a youthful encounter!"

Tony didn't know why his daughter fell in love with this movie, but as he always doted on his daughter, he nodded in agreement without hesitation. After going to the front desk and buying three tickets for the movie, he held his wife with his left hand and his daughter with his right hand. The family entered the screening room together.

“There were more people than I thought.”

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

Tony was a little surprised that so many people came to watch a small-budget film with almost no publicity.

But he didn't pay too much attention. After taking his wife and daughter down, they quietly waited for the movie to start.

Soon, as the opening animation of 20th Century Fox came on and the movie started playing, the auditorium became silent and everyone looked towards the big screen.

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

A very old-fashioned, but not obtrusive, opening. The beautiful Juno fell in love at first sight with Brick, who won the first place in the track and field competition. They began to try to contact and date.

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

Whether it was Mr. and Mrs. Smith or Alice, they all showed a knowing smile when watching the young campus love in the movie.

There was some longing in Alice's eyes. Girls of her age are in the first grade of love, and they yearn for this kind of love-at-first-sight campus love. ơɱ

However, the story on the screen kept advancing, and the sweet love did not last long. After a boy and a girl became infatuated and couldn't help but eat the forbidden fruit, Juno unexpectedly became pregnant.

The audience, who had been smiling before, enjoying the bright and warm scenes, the soothing lines, and the sweet campus love, suddenly frowned.

Especially the audience members who were already parents in the screening room were even more heartbroken.

"Teenage pregnancy" is definitely not a topic that people find interesting. On the contrary, it is a very heavy and distressing topic.

Tony frowned and turned his head, and couldn't help but said to Alice: "My dear, you can't do this."

Alice curled her lips helplessly. She didn't think teenage pregnancy was a good thing, but she still looked at the screen with some anticipation, wanting to see how the subsequent story would develop and how Juno, who is the same age as her, would face this. Sudden surprise.

Fortunately, the director did not position this movie 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.

After becoming pregnant, Juno's performance was even more shocking.

She is not affected by the gossip around her at all, she still goes her own way and does her own thing. She gives a big middle finger to her friends when they look at her strangely. When faced with the teacher's lectures, she can always refute them with humorous words. Speechless.

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

On the contrary, Brick's behavior made many viewers frown. They were cowardly, evasive, afraid to take responsibility, and hesitant. This is what most high school boys look like in reality, and they have no responsibility.

Even Alice, who was attracted by Brick's sunny and handsome image at the beginning, couldn't help but frown and look at him with disgust.

As the story progresses, Juno wants to have an abortion, but then gives up the idea and decides to give birth to the baby and wants to find adoptive parents...

In the process of these things happening, Juno is entangled in her teenage love, while performing well in personal choices, love and life orientation, and making this character more and more charming.

Under Scarlett's perfect interpretation, a unique girl who frequently makes golden sentences, is quirky, does her own way and is full of personality, has entered the hearts of all the audience.

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

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

"Oh my god, I look like a planet 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 water broke, can you hurry up?"

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

However, Juno is not a girl who can only say funny words, and this story is not a purely funny story.

"When pregnant, a woman becomes a mother; when the child is born, a man becomes a father."

"I just wonder if it is possible for two people to be together forever? I just want to know if it is possible. Two people can live happily together forever."

"If I am a wild flower growing freely, I only wish you were my little bee."

Brick, who originally planned to escape, gradually understood what love, responsibility and dedication are under the influence and guidance of Juno, and gradually matured.

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

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

The scene turned, in a warm cottage, Juno's parents held the child and stood at the door to greet Brick who had just finished the rugby game.

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

Brick held the child in one hand, walked into the kitchen, and put his arm around Juno's waist.

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

At this romantic and beautiful moment, as if to happyend, Juno in the picture raised her signature gesture to the camera, a contemptuous middle finger.

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

Watching the final shot that broke the fourth wall, and Juno's middle finger that was raised high and covered the side faces of the two, there was applause and whistles in the screening room.

Tony also let out a long breath, clapping and saying, "I like Brick, this boy. Although he was confused and shaken, he still grew up and became an excellent father."

"No! Juno is the coolest!" Alice beside him was excited and her cheeks flushed, and she shouted excitedly: "Juno is so cool, I also want to be a girl like Juno!"

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

"NO!" Tony glared at his daughter angrily, this is absolutely not possible!

Chapter 2 will be later.
