Juno: Pregnancy Really Opens The Mind

Movie Review:

Juno

"I'm just gonna go ahead an nip this thing in the bud. Cuz you know, they say pregnancy often leads to, you know... an infant"

Juno is a beloved comedy movie that tells the tale of a pregnant teenager named Juno going through teenagers problems and pregnancy simultaneously. As she becomes pregnant after an "accident" with his friend Paulie Bleaker, she still carries the baby for a family that cannot conceive their own baby after she changes her mind about abortion. During those crazy times she faces, she has gone through events that change her into a mature person.

If I were in the main character's position, I would...

In the movie, Juno wants to carry his accidental baby for a family that wants to adopt her baby. As she agrees with it, she has to handle all the burden of being pregnant (morning sickness, mood swings or cannot use your favorite jeans). She also had to handle the criticism thrown at her but she keeps her head high and mostly counters them with her free-spirited attitude. Being a pregnant teenager till the end is really uncommon as most teenagers prefer abortion as a way to get away from humiliation but not Juno.  If I were in her position, I would undergo the whole pregnancy as well. This is because I believe that we should be responsible for the consequences of our action. While going through the pregnancy may be hard, but we can learn something valuable in the journey later on. If I just go through the abortion, it might   burden me in a way as I have killed an unborn person that is short-lived by my reckless actions.

     All in all, Juno is a great comedy movie that perfectly captures the essence of a coming-of-age story of a pregnant teenager doing what is right to her and the people she matters.
