Watch Everything and Still See ONLY What Is Good

  • Where Was M.Y Juno?

    Juno  (2007)

    Juno is the kind of movie young high-schoolers need to see more of! When I was young in high-school, all the movies and philosophies I had were based on "Adam & Eve" (in which 'the man' arrives fully developed and 'the woman' simply latches onto him like a highly-worth leech)!

    Don't paint this as saying, 'Juno should've been dragged out in the street before a rowdy crowd and branded with an "A"!' because she was totally, entirely, utterly right in everything she did. Her situation is totally ideal! but it's not the ideal that I was fed growing-up (due to which I still wait for my red-headed mermaid-made-pedestrian to rise and come to me ... in Oklahoma lol).

    This movie had excellent dialogue; simple enough to follow along (even if you miss some), but clever enough to make you feel smarter for having watched it. For example, I learned that "Juno" was the name of the god Odin's one-and-only ... that she was downright dog-like at times, but that there was no other who was goddess-enough for Odin.

    ... myself, having always been an Odinsman (though I do sometimes enjoy the fun of his friend, the Jokester, Loki), it serves as sort of an omen of the woman destined for me: yes, she will have the beauty that I seek; but she will not always be aching to show that beauty to me ...
