Synopsis

High school girl Juno (Ellen Peggy) one day decides to go to Wushan with her boyfriend brick (Michael Cera). Juno likes his handsome boyfriend in the track and field team, but this kind of love is not to the point of infatuation, of course, not to the point of wanting to marry him. So, the next problem is a bit of a problem. Juno became pregnant after this unprotected reunion. Now Juno had no idea at all, but regret would not help. The question now is how to deal with Juno's baby in a place where abortion is prohibited by law. It's obviously not very reliable for her to make a lifelong decision with brick. After discussing with their close friend Lille, they decided to give birth to the child first, and then send it out to a family who wants to adopt the child. After several inquiries and deliberation, Juno finally chooses a wealthy couple, mark and Vanessa (Jason Bateman and Jennifer Garner). However, things have not been as smooth as imagined. How should Juno face the bitter fruit of his youth's impulse and ignorance.

Behind the scenes production

With a budget of only $6.5 million, Juno had to abandon its original plan to shoot in Minnesota and instead shoot in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. In order to save the budget, the film is often shot in the United States in Canada, and the director has always insisted on shooting in the selected locations. For example, a house in Whiterock, British Columbia, Canada, is the home of mark and Vanessa in the film, Eric hammer middle school is the dance elk high school in the film, and the sports park runway in South Suri is the playground runway of the high school. the time span of the film is about a whole year. However, since the shooting of the film only took more than a month, it is necessary to use some fake plants and special means including post production to give the audience different feelings in different seasons. For example, at the end of the film (summer), fake flowers are used in Polly's house, while some autumn shots use fans to blow the leaves off the trees, or use digital synthesis to place fake trees in Juno's house, and fake cherry trees in full bloom in Leia's house. according to the very brief description in the script, the art guidance staff designed the corresponding room decoration. In Juno's bedroom, there are many posters of bands on the wall, in Leia's room, there is a mural of an old man who "she" thinks is very attractive, while Polly's bedroom is designed in a slightly childish style to reflect its innocence. Steve sacklard, the film's art director, also designed the house of Vanessa and mark according to the idea that "Vanessa read a lot of books about family in order to give people the impression that they would try their best to make the best impression for their children". The film's costume designer, Monika pradehomor, was nominated for the best modern film costume design award of the fashion designers' Union for this film. She took the route of "simple and tasteful" and maintained quality for the costume owner of Vanessa, and prepared conservative clothes for mark as a supplement to Vanessa's taste. The clothes Juno wears, such as flannel shirt and sweater vest, are mostly his own suggestions. In addition, the film also prepared for her some different sizes of "false belly" and "false breast". In addition, the baby image Juno saw when he was exposed to ultrasound is Matthew, the son of Scott Sanders, director of sound production. This shot was synthesized into the film in post production.

Film evaluation

Generally speaking, the content of the film is rich, the plot is smooth, the narration is also wonderful, the place of romance is clear, and the place of humor is moving. (review of Nandu weekly) while winning the audience's smile, it also brings us thinking about growth and maturity. With a seemingly atypical approach, it has successfully become a typical low-cost masterpiece. (Sina entertainment review) the film takes a huge feminist ambition as its core, but it always maintains a hidden and understated way of interpretation. Through extreme kindness, piety and self-confidence, it sublimates this feminist concept into a belief, so that you can't refuse and be baptized happily while touching the story.
