Juno is the independent movie that could have shocked everyone that watched the 80th edition of the Oscars, if it won! No, it didn't win the two major awards it was nominated for: Best Film and Best Actress in a Leading Role (Ellen Page).
I find it interesting how more and more independent movies keep coming and surprising us positively. This particular movie surprised me in a Good way.
'Juno' is a fresh, intelligent comedy about a 16-year-old girl who has unplanned and unprotected sex with her friend Paulie Bleeker. She decides, against the advice of parents and friends, to have the baby and give it up for adoption. But beware; this movie is not all about unplanned pregnancy.
Ellen Page's one liners are peculiar and really come from the inside rather than script. She actually wins the audience in the first scenes. The movie gives a new view to pregnancy and is completely different from the 2004 independent theme related movie 'Saved!’ The two movies also seem to have a hidden anti-abortion theme.
The two movies do have several things in common, specially the fact that they were low budget, independent movies but had major stars featured in the movie. Apparently our movie stars are becoming more picky on the movies they actually star on.
The passive-aggressive pseudo-folk songs are a great part of the movie.
