Today's fifth update, please recommend, please subscribe!

​​

Since it was in Venice, the European media's reaction was obviously quicker than the American media.

​​

It is often joked that Evan Bell is backed by "Entertainment Weekly" in the United States, and "Film Review" and "The New York Times"; in Europe, "Empire", "Sight and Sound" and "Cinebook" Evan Bell's troika.

​​

Of course, this is just a joke. Leaving aside other things, just talking about these newspapers and magazines, in addition to "Entertainment Weekly", the other five media are professional film critic magazines with a long history, both professionally and authoritatively. It is a good reputation accumulated over many years, and naturally it is impossible to be biased. And these media's comments on Evan Bell's works have always been fair, and they have also been loved by many fans. It can only be said that Evan Bell is indeed the most powerful flower in the entertainment circle after Barbra Streisand.

​​

However, it must be admitted that the three magazines "Empire", "Cinema Manual" and "Sight and Sound" really rarely praise Evan Bell's works. Evan Bell's current six works have all been well received. , he is also one of the few directors in history who can win universal acclaim, and in this context, Evan Bell's directorial slam is all the more valuable. And this time, "Juno", as the seventh work directed by Evan Bell, also continued this situation again. "Empire" magazine wrote and commented on this splendid work for the first time.

​​

"Evan Bell's Adventures in Wonderland", that's the title of the review in Empire magazine.

​​

“After saying goodbye to the dark heaviness of the oil expansion of the 1920s, Evan brings us sixteen-year-old Juno with the lens of bright sunshine. The topic of teenage pregnancy is not new, nor is it new. Not lighthearted, but Evan presents it in a novel way of hiding the pain and grief in hard-edged words, and the whole story exudes a light and moving vanilla sweetness.

​​

This is Evan's first attempt at an original script, but the story structure has not fallen into the stereotypes, neither the words and deeds of forgiveness, nor the rambles of reflection, nor the characteristics of such films in the general sense-the bursts that break out from time to time Sensational, endless quarrels Acting annoying family conflicts. The real topic hidden behind the story of teenage pregnancy in the movie is: instead of worrying about the past, it is better to focus on the present and the future, rather than complaining and anger, calmly think about what choice is right for you, and resolutely follow the path after the choice. Determined to go, this is the true meaning of life.

​​

Compared with "The Wrestler" which had its premiere yesterday, "Juno" has more atmosphere and calmness, more poise and mellowness, but less long lectures and deliberate sensationalism. In the director's position, Evan's maturity and wisdom are not only admirable, but also elevate the quality of "Juno" to a whole new level.

​​

The overall style of the movie is brisk, the rhythm is smooth, the atmosphere is friendly, the picture is clean, the performance is brilliant, and the lines are bright, which reminds us of Evan's 25-year-old 'Little Sunshine' that won everyone's love, but compared to Michael Eminem In particular, the lines written by Evan are more contemporary, with endless slang words, wonderful humor, and cool vocabulary, which make people laugh at the same time, and sigh at the wonderful lines. It must be admitted that the surprise brought by Evan in the script even surpassed the dazzling brilliance of his creation as a director.

​​

Evan explained the old-fashioned topic of teenage pregnancy with the interaction and even the contradiction between Juno and the adoptive couple Mark and Vanessa. Personality characteristics and emotional changes, a serious topic that makes people easily drowsy is presented in a cute, warm, soothing, humorous, and spicy way.

​​

Starting from the teenage pregnancy, the foothold is placed on the choice of growth. Just like Evan's previous works, the reflection of the film penetrates into every corner of the audience's mind, which also makes the conception and thinking of 'Juno' appear It is outstanding, and its connotation is far beyond the scope of a simple youth film, and it is not the color that a simple social ethics film can have. It can be said that this time Evan's attempt is bold and fresh, but it is unforgettable.

​​

As the first heroine of the movie, the role of Juno is undoubtedly the biggest highlight. She is independent, loves freedom, rock trendy, frank and frank, with sharp teeth... Maybe she is not the most beautiful, even she doesn't like to dress up at all; Maybe she is not the smartest, she will copy the report of the experimental partner; maybe she is not the most free and easy, she will cry bitterly when facing difficulties, but she is the most beautiful, like the most brilliant bunch of daisies in our life, The bright yellow and bright colors grow stubbornly and upright in the direction of the sun, making us yearn for it.

​​

After watching the movie, it's hard not to like Juno, a girl who thinks wildly. The grasp is very good, and the role of Juno is perfectly combined. In Evan's shot, Ellen-Page's words and deeds are integrated into Juno's body, which makes the whole film exude a fresh appeal. With Juno's footsteps, he experiences the immaturity of youth. , green, beautiful, sweet and painful. I vaguely remember that after Juno confessed to Brick, the two heard it together in public. Facing the ridicule of his friend Leah, Juno raised his **** without looking back. That's Juno, that's Ellen Page, that candid self, and you can't put it down.

​​

In addition to Ellen Page, Jennifer Garner, Jason Bateman, Michael Cera's performance is also remarkable, especially Jennifer Garner, her every appearance is so real and credible, In particular, the yearning and longing for her mother in her eyes sparkled, making all the audience unmoved.

​​

Excellent actors, memorable themes, delicate and wonderful narrative, this has constituted an outstanding work. And Evan also used the comic and realistic image style to outline the playfulness of the movie, not to mention the wonderful soundtrack, which makes people mesmerized. Every soundtrack is completely in line with the plot, even Because of being able to outline the unique personality of the characters, everyone has once again seen Evan's superb soundtrack skills.

​​

Alice showed us a beautiful and colorful world in her own dream; Evan Bell, in the movie 'Juno', showed us a slightly weird, slightly playful but full of The world of sunshine is so good that people raise their hands to show their surrender! "

​​

Empire magazine did a brief review of every part of the film, and unquestionably gave the film its highest praise. Echoing it is the review of the "Cinema Manual".

​​

"Again Sunshine", the title of "Film Book" can tell their point of view, "This is the bitterness and sweetness that Evan once again sent us after 'Little Sunshine', accompanied by the cold winter. A nice dessert for the warm sun.”

​​

"Juno, sixteen years old, high school student, rock lover, two months and four days pregnant and guess what, what will happen next?

​​

A dark movie? Pregnant underage girls are excluded as aliens, suffering the difficulties of fate in their stomachs, struggling and grief and despair, accusing the ruthlessness of this society? Or choose an abortion and descend endlessly into the abyss to be devoured by this terrible society? No, Evan told us such a sunny story from a unique perspective. Juno, who was peaceful but gentle, appeared in front of us.

​​

From the very beginning of the movie, the characters and pictures processed by the comics, along with the cheerful music, made people smile involuntarily. Clear and clean music, warm and bright sunshine render our cool youth.

​​

She drank a bucket of orange juice just to make materials for a pregnancy test; she sat on the sofa in front of her boyfriend's house with her legs crossed and a pipe in her mouth to announce to him that she was pregnant; she tenderly decided to give birth to the child not because of Religion, but because the baby already has nails; she personally selects Mark and Vanessa to adopt the unborn baby; she even argues with Mark, who is also a rock lover, whether the golden age of rock and roll was 1993 or 1977, And who is the real horror film master, Gordon Lewis and Dario Argento...

​​

There was no bitter tears, no bitterness and hatred, and no scolding and cursing. It turns out that in addition to seeing the issue of teenage pregnancy from a cruel and dark perspective, it can also be faced so cheerfully and easily.

​​

'Juno' is not the first work to discuss unmarried pregnancy, nor will it be the last, but the film is still unique and can't be ignored, even with the passage of time, the gentle light on the film will not dissipate, but instead It will gradually settle down, allowing it to occupy a place in the long river of history. Because it gives the whole event a relaxed state of mind, letting us know that life is not that complicated, but it is not just easy, just as it does not talk about love and giving lightly, but spreads the gentle and firm human power in daily life Scattered in details.

​​

The stepmother had a dispute with the technician during the daily pregnancy check-up. She said, 'Just do your own thing', maybe she meant, don't judge others casually, because you don't know how others are kind of.

​​

My father said, I thought you were a girl who knew enough was enough. Juno was silent for a while, with a rare seriousness and helplessness, and said, I don't know what kind of girl I am.

​​

In fact, no one knows how who is, just don't judge others casually. Actually, Juno wouldn't be defined as a bad kid just because of a teenage pregnancy, would it?

​​

At least Juno can bear it bravely, bear the consequences of his actions, and bear the pain of being pregnant for ten months. It takes courage to face and undertake. She made a choice and faced her choice bravely. Even if the school classmates cast strange eyes, Juno doesn't care, because she knows it's her own choice, there is no need to blame others; except when she knows that Brick has invited other girls to the dance, Juno doesn't She found her love seedlings for Brick that had taken root in her heart, but at least, when Juno found out, she also bravely admitted her mistake, and walked up to Brick, boldly and directly suing her.

​​

Make a choice and stick to it; face criticism, treat it calmly; don't criticize others easily, because you are never the party; face difficulties, smile, and take it calmly... Even if you can't do this, at least have the courage to face it Life's setbacks, Juno did it, maybe many of us couldn't.

​​

Perhaps, youth is like that. Parents always want their children not to fall. If you can avoid setbacks, that's fine, but even if you do fall over, so what? It may hurt, but as long as you learn to stand up and learn to keep walking down the road ahead, that's the most important thing. What we need to learn is not only to avoid wrestling, but also how to choose how to face and persist after wrestling. This is not easy.

​​

After experiencing tears and pain, I understand that it is difficult for people who love each other to be together forever, but at least we can find a lover who loves you exactly as you are without modification. No matter your mood is good or bad, ugly or beautiful or handsome, no matter what, people who love you will feel that ~www.readwn.com~ you will always be sunny. Maybe this person needs to experience strong winds and waves before they can get to know each other; maybe this person is by my side, waiting silently...

​​

Maybe, as time goes by, the sixteen-year-old Juno will grow into a quiet woman who, on a summer afternoon, bathed in the golden sunshine, makes apple pie for her children, with intense rock music in her ears, Even the years can't wash away the coolness in her. But no matter what, Juno made his own choice, and this courage deserves the admiration of all of us.

​​

At the end of the movie, Juno is wearing a handsome plaid shirt riding a bicycle with a guitar on her back to find her boy, warm tones, the sun is gently falling on the steps in front of the house, she and him sing a clear song, gentle kiss. This picture is so warm that it makes me cry.

​​

Evan, one of the most outstanding contemporary directors, lives up to his reputation. Such a cruel story is told to us in such a sunny and splendid lens, which imprints a golden appearance in the minds of all audiences and will never fade. Because this is our youth. The sun is still bright and youth is still brilliant. "

​​

The "Cinema Manual" does not analyze the film, but expounds the style of the film from an overall perspective, leaving a strong imprint of youth. "Cinema Manual" also called "Juno" as the most sunny movie in 2 years, just like "Little Sunshine Beauty" in 25 years.
