0:28 I realize now I meant to say I was born too LATE for Juno, not early. I was a bit too young when the movie came out, not too old for it. Oops. Guess everything I said about the movie is void now. L + ratio.

I watched this movie because of your video. I didn't want to watch it when it came out because I thought it was cool to hate it. It's funny/stupid how you do things as a young person. It reminds me of what you said about the first 10 minutes of the movie's dialog. The characters language show how small and immature her world is before she grows emotionally/intellectually. I remember talking like a complete tool as a young person and catching myself in old habits as an adult. Thanks for the excellent suggestion on the movie; I really enjoyed it.

One thing you mentioned that I found interesting was when you noted how light the characterization was for Vanessa, Jennifer Garner’s character. For me, there is actually a good bit of character there but it’s all in really subtle things like her clothing, her general body language, the way her house is decorated and a handful of throwaway lines or changes in tone of voice. She’s sweet and well meaning but very prim and proper and has somewhat of a high maintenance/controlling personality. Her home is this very classy but standard, and conservative white/beige palette which does not seem in line with Mark’s sensibilities as we learn more about him. Juno even teases him a little bit when despite having that huge house, he is only designated a single room (the only room with any variation in color) and when Mark strays off from the adoption meeting to play guitar with Juno, you can slightly pick up on her irritation that he strayed off and she very passively reprimands him for doing so. There’s also Mark’s throwaway line about how Vanessa gets on his case if he’s not visibly working when she comes home indicating a lack of trust she has in him managing himself. There’s also the level of thought she puts into the paint for the baby’s room despite Mark’s best efforts to derail the conversation. I also love the paint splattered Alice In Chains shirt she has on hinting at a part of her that was more casual and on Mark’s level. To be clear, I’m not saying the character of Vanessa is a bad person or that she’s a bitch, but you can see how those particular traits alongside Mark’s maturity issues made for a kind of toxic pairing that was always likely to go up in smoke. That’s one of the things I love about this movie. You have Juno’s whimsical antics but you also have this subtle drama about a married couple of the rocks and a midlife crisis playing in the background.

Something this didn't cover that I think was hugely important was the relationship between Juno and Bleeker. For most girls my age, this was the first time we'd seen a guy be genuinely respectful and loving towards girls like ourselves. This was at the end of the romcom era, when most male characters acted inappropriately towards women, intersecting with the Megan Fox era of objectification. To see Michael Cera representing what we all desperately wanted in a partner was groundbreaking. He doesn't push Juno's boundaries, and he is supportive and kind even when she pulls away. It showed us that we could have that too.

Juno is a comfort movie of mine. As others have said, the only negative is Elliot’s struggle with being in this movie. So, I’m really really happy you made the point to highlight how fantastic his performance was because it was probably incredibly triggering to have to engage in the material in the way they did

I remember buying Juno on DVD at a gas station during a road trip. I heard a lot about it before and knowing that I would be bored for the next 3 hours decided to take the plunge and buy it. I'm so glad I did. It still gets me when I watch it to this day. I don't know if it makes sense, but this movie and The Silver Linings Playbook both got me to step out of my comfort zone with movies and watch a lot of things i thought i never would.

I know exactly what you're talking about. There's nothing quite like that first film that actively broadens your horizons. Weirdly enough, that film for me was Fantastic Mr. Fox! I saw it at a friend's house when I was in my very early teens. It was an easy sell given that I've always been obsessed with stop motion animation. I was expecting a fun kids movie with cool animation. What I was not expecting was to be blown away by a distinct vision and style, in a way I hadn't experienced previously. That was definitely a turning point for me, as I've been chasing the high of unique experiences like that ever since. If you feel the way about Juno that I do about Fantastic Mr. Fox, you probably cherish that film a lot. I hope my video did it justice!

as someone who absolutely has never wanted kids i found myself oddly relating to Vanessa the adoptive mother alot when rewatching as an adult, even if we dont have basic facts like "she likes music..." i think the way she is acted and written shows a certain disposition, has been let down and shes scared to get her hopes up again, yet feels such yearning and hope for things to go better this time. i loved her over preparedness and felt disgusted at her husbands complete disinterest... i think alot of us have been there. So she doesn't have facts... instead id say she has feelings, i felt she was very well rounded tbh. As a youth i related to Junos tomboyish, rebellious naivety and goofiness, but as an adult... i feel worn down by life, disappointment, reality and my own neurotic nature, but still secretly long for things to finally just work out... and against my own desire to give up, i tend to put alot of effort into everything, even if it leads to nothing. Its funny to grow up as the juno type of girl, then end up relating to this very anal, perfectionist character in adulthood, but i do. ....also totally related to junos dad bc i scoff at todays kids but love their flair ha!

The lack of the adoptive mom I feel is entirely intentional. Throughout the movie, Juno repeatedly states that she doesn’t want anything to do with the baby, which mirrors the mom. Besides the birth, this also is shown with Juno actively trying to avoid the mom in the mall scene. The adoptive dad in this sense ultimately comes across as kind of a red herring

In 1984, I had a friend, a fellow sailor in the Navy who I was stationed with and worked with. She claims she became pregnant during her first intercourse, and she decided to place her baby for adoption. She chose a couple who agreed to adopt her baby before it was born. She gave birth to her son, and right there at the delivery, the adoptive parents changed their minds. So, my friend kept her son and raised him as a single mother. Watching Juno, I remembered my friend, I remembered sitting in her living room, my ears clanging because her little boy crept behind me on the sofa and boxed my ears. We had a falling out after she slept with a guy I was dating, I said in very Juno-esque fashion, "You two can have each other." after he called me, trying to apologize for it. I was happy for the adoptive mother character in the film, how she in the end was allowed to adopt Juno's baby as a single mother who proved that she could be as independent as Juno's personality was.

Juno was the first film I'd seen in my teenage years that was very progressive and formative despite not being pregnant or in any kind of sexual relationship. It had quite an impact for being such a fantastic movie for its time (and even beyond). The main character is witty, and spunky while being emotionally vulnerable that made her really endearing and approachable. I can never look at Tic Tacs the same way ever again...

I'll have to take your word on Juno holding up because I remember seeing it in the theater due to the massive hype and how my audience laughed just once. And it's been too long to even remember what line/scene it was. But I do remember the disappointment and bewilderment I had leaving the screening that the movie had been praised to the heavens when I felt every line, character and situation was as forced as it was overwrought. And I've felt that way about every film Diablo Cody has written. It's why I was devastated when I found out she was writing the Alanis Morissette musical (my favorite artist of all time) and that the eventual criticisms were that it was over yet underwritten. But she won a Tony just like she won an Oscar for Juno. It's amazing how she, imo, continues to fail upwards. So, I'll just take your word that it's still essential viewing but just watching this video gave me the same sense of cringe I originally felt in the theater. Not because your take is wrong. You have stated your opinion with clarity and finesse, but because the clips reminded me why I vowed to never watch the movie again and even recemented that stance. Still, I'm new to your channel and am loving your content even if I don't always agree. You have a bright future and just be patient because you will eventually get the views and subscribers you deserve!

While I *was* in the right age range for this movie, I was 14. But I remember not liking it because I bought into the purity culture and felt it was cringey to have teen pregnancy be a neutral, main focus of the film. But I watched it a few years later. I don't remember when, but I think I was around 18? I once again in my life, regret not watching it when it actually came out. 😂 It *does* start out as annoying, but also does quickly grow on me. Even when I was "protesting" the movie I was *absolutely* *enthralled* with the soundtrack! 🥰 I also agree, it felt weird that the adoptive mom felt very one deminisional.

I think that having that lack of character development for the adoptive mother was incredibly important to the story. We never get to know her because the entire world is built around the perspective that Juno can see. We're sort of getting glimpses of the world but with a thinly veneered lens that shows us Juno's perspective. She never gets to know the adoptive mother very well. So we never get to know the adoptive mother very well. It provides us with the insight that she's giving her child to a stranger that she really never gets to know.

I watched Juno when it came out on DVD at my mother’s Starbucks store at 8 years old. She didn’t know how to talk to my twin brother and I about sex, and the twee-ness was incredibly appealing to boot. I watched it about twenty times before literally doing drag as Juno during Halloween. It’s certainly one of a few films that marked a shift in a certain comedic sensibility around that time. I’m happy that Elliott has found peace from that time.

When Juno came out I was 17, so I identified with the teen characters. I rewatched it recently, now in my mid 30s, so I saw myself (or a way way worse version of myself) in the Jason Bateman character - but I also aspire to be as sweet and supportive as J.K. Simmons' character when I am slightly older still. I think a film that gives you something different over the course of over a decade can definitely be said to be hold up.

The best thing I can compare the feelings to is when I played the game Life is strange. That game had that same awkward dialogue you mentioned from the first 10 minutes and idk I know people tend to cringe at it but I like that the characters talk like that lol. It adds to the charm.

The questionable moments namly Juno and Mark were intentional. It's a good show of how pretory behavior can go unoticed by a teen until it's too late. Luckily, juno got out of it okay. I watched this as a teen, and I can say it went over my head. Now that I am older, i can say Mark and Juno are a causenary tale, teach your teens to find the suttle actions of a preditor when an adult wants to be friends with them. As most often, the adult is being predatory.

Clearly too young to understand the dialogue, implications, and storytelling of the film, it was boring to me. That being said, I’ve thought about it a lot now and then over the years and have always wanted to rewatch it. I was confused while watching the movie, but it was still impactful to my developing brain, both in soundtrack and imagery. I still think about the one on one conversations Juno would have with the adoptive father in the film. The tension and uncomfortableness really stood out to me. I don’t remember the ending of the film. Looking even more forward to rewatching it now that I’m in my twenties, thanks for the recommendation

I feel like pro choice also encompasses the idea of women's choices in general, and being too scared/ just not wanting to get an abortion is perfectly fine ( I know that if i was in Juno's place being her age and all i would at least get cold feet at the prospect of getting an abortion, even though I'm not anti abortion or anything .. ) Abortion isn't framed as an easy way out nor is actually giving birth to the child and giving it up, to me they were both shown to be complicated, because unwanted pregnancy is just that, complicated. Also I really liked the adoptive mums character, and i feel like a lot of her characterisation was through implications, and the fact that she mirrors Juno. Juno is young and unprepared, adoptive mother ( I've forgotten her name lol ) feels like the role is meant for her, but isn't blindly running into it, if anything she's overly prepared and excited ( if a bit restrained bc of the prior experience ) - she's good with kids, is financially stable and all. I think she appears slightly distant because Juno is maintaining that distance, since she wants nothing to do with the baby's life. Anyway I've written too much and forgot if i had a point

@@lcdubs7847 a lot of people referring back to when a now married person was in a role would call them by their newer last name, if you get what i mean, so i dont understand why you wouldn't call him elliot. plus, elliot knew at the time that he wanted to transition and become a man, so the idea of elliot existed at the time. its a sign of respect to refer back to them as elliot instead of disregarding it

i would like to rant on this movie a bit if yall dont mind. i watched this when i was really young, a few years after it came out (i was only 5 when it was released) and it had an impact on me that i didn't really understand at the time. i was born female, i was socialized female, i was treated female, but i had times where i was a kid where i realized that i did not think female. i didn't understand why i had to be a woman and why every other girl around me was so accepting of their role. i pushed these thoughts aside, i kept living my life as a cis woman until the day i turned 18. i went to college, i started changing, i experimented with the way i look and dress and act. i started taking testosterone and felt great. but i was at an extremely vulnerable and volatile place in life, and got with someone who was a terrible partner and worse person. and i had my first pregnancy scare. i sat in a park at midnight while my friends and partner were laughing somewhere else, and i sat on that swing and stared into the distance for at least an hour. i knew the very real possibility that i was pregnant (thank god i wasnt), and i was frozen in fear because of the ramifications that would come of it. i couldn't care for a child and i couldn't give it away if it was my only option. and then i realized. i'd been pushed into a female role again. every day spent separating myself from my past and my upbringing as a woman had failed, because under the law, under society, under my family, i was female and that's all that i was. and then i remembered this movie, and i watched it, and i was in a puddle of tears, alone. because i knew how elliot felt filming this movie, and that this movie, in its own way, is fundamentally about being transmasc. it's about the pain of being known only by the single letter on your birth certificate, however you identify. juno isn't gendered in any way using aesthetics, music, or even film language. it's just about being a person forced into a role that you never wanted to be in. and that's why i love it.

I'm a trans guy, and I was pregnant as I found my identity. It was nightmarish. Elliott gives me so much... comfort, as a human that exists. I hope he's healed from this experience, and I hope he will someday be something he can look back on without pain.

This movie definitely doesn't age well for me because the pregnancy isn't really shown to have struggle, it's just talked about, and the Juno character in particular is unbearable. They're like New Girl's main character times 10 but smug. Yes, Jason Bates character is a creep and idiot but his character isn't the lead and praised. Juno on the other hand treats people kind of crappy.

Juno is definitively not worth remembering. It's utterly forgotten by now, and only remembered because of Ellen Page's transition into Elliot. The acting was uniformly excellent but the storyline was so contrived, phony, and fake and Juno's character utterly implausible. The film was a fluke of success. And the manner in which abortion was treated in this film was outrageous on the surface and offensive to those who have ever considered abortion or actually had one performed on them.
