Juno, above all, takes center stage with her pretty face, her ponytail and hoodie, and her wise cracks, which is quite typical of an intelligent, perceptive high school girl. Paulie too is an ideal actor for that role as he and Juno go from just having some teenage affection for each other into a more serious couple facing a more serious issue that could have been a tense disaster but for their intelligence and social savvy.
When Juno runs into Jennifer Garner (the woman who will adopt Juno's baby) towards the end of the film, even though the married couple's bonds are fragile so Juno may not be giving up the baby to a couple, the viewer sees how perfect a choice Garner was for this role.
What's the theme? Do other elements work together to develop this theme? Those in the pro-life movement who thought this film was about their particular political position are wrong. And those in the pro-choice movement who believed this was about them got it wrong, too. The real theme, according to the New York Times, is "pro-adulthood"; Page said it is "absurd" to suggest that it is a pro-life film. She notes that Juno had a choice to make and she made it apart from any ideology or political viewpoint. Directing: Jason Reitman made all the right moves, from setting, to actors, to music, and even though there had been 2 other movies in 2007 about unplanned pregnancies, Juno stood out as a comedy with class, style, and substance.
Is the setting effective? Why? The movie was filmed in British Columbia at...
Recording artist Kimya Dawson used music she had previously recorded that were similar to what Page wanted (Moldy Peaches type music). The soundtrack has 19 songs (from a wide variety of artists including the Kinks, Buddy Holly and the Velvet Underground) and it went to #1 on the Billboard charts. The cinematography was fantastic, including the winter scenes with snow falling in Canada. The camera angles, art design, editing, and pacing were clearly world class because the movie was nominated as "Best Picture" (losing out to the violent "No Country for Old Men").
The use of symbols was not what could be called powerful or heavy, but the hamburger phone certainly reflects / symbolizes the tastes of creative young people
In conclusion, this was a well-produced film with believable characters, a great script, a wonderful soundtrack and music and moreover, it takes a difficult problem which many high school students have been forced to deal with and works creatively with that problem, infusing humor and irony appropriately.

Gotham is a dark place, which manifests evil in the character of the Joker (Jack Nicholson). Bruce Wayne, Batman, is the force with which evil must reckon. Batman, however, has his own dark side, which is manifest in his costume, his gothic style mansion, and the technology he employs to combat the Joker and other criminal elements. In this film, Burton needed only a few big name and talented actors
Jason Reitman's 2007 film Juno addresses a difficult and potentially controversial topic: unwanted pregnancy and the challenges of deciding whether to terminate the pregnancy or carry it to term. Braha and Bryne describe Juno as a "comedy-drama," but it is also a young adult film because its protagonist is a teenager and because it frankly addresses coming-of-age issues linked to uniquely adolescent sexuality and gender identity. The film focuses on
One critic states, for instance, that for the liberal nature of the film, the work does not actually promote the 'pro-choice' message that is so important to many women. This critic is Gloria Feldt, who is an author, activist, and is the former president of Planned Parenthood. She knows the experiences portrayed in the move well, in fact, firsthand, since she was a teenage mother once. Feldt states, "The dialogue
Abortion trends varied widely by state as well. "Teenage abortion rates were highest in New York (41 per 1,000), New Jersey, Nevada, Delaware and Connecticut. By contrast, teenagers in South Dakota (6 per 1,000), Utah, Kentucky, Nebraska and North Dakota all had abortion rates of eight or fewer per 1,000 women aged 15 -- 19. More than half of teenage pregnancies ended in abortion in New Jersey, New York and
As depicted here, the other female actresses in the film -- played by actual Africans -- are naked above the waist. The white actress is not. Indeed, the lower photograph depicts Gehrts-Schomburgk reclining on a leopard skin rug, while a topless native woman fans her with an elaborate fan made of feathers. The ludicrous excess of the colonialist fantasy could not be more evident here. Yet this actress is the
There isn't one time in the film that Martin doesn't act out of passion. Unlike Oedipus, Martin does not choose blindness but rather it is a result of his passion and desire for Mini. Watching Mini's First Time, the audience has a sort of god-like perspective as perhaps the audience felt in one of the great Greek theatres. As one watches the film, there is a definite feeling that it
