Juno

This movie was suggested by our tutor, En. Abu Bakar. He said this was one of his favourite movies. I was excited to watch the movie because I wanted to know why he loved the movie very much. So today, we have a chance to watch “Juno”. I really love the movie probably because the issue presented is quite close to us which is about a pregnant teenager. I admire her strength to continue carrying the baby because I know it is definitely not going to be easy. Furthermore, she is only 16 years old and still studying at school. Even though I love this movie, I think it is quite unrealistic just like my friend, Aida said. This seems to be normal because it is in the movie but I don’t think in real life parents will be cool and supportive like what her parents have done. In our culture, some parents may ask their daughter to abort the baby because of shame. Or even if they allow their daughter to carry the child, once the baby is born, they will give it to adopted parents. Whatever it is, I love the movie. I can feel how the married couple especially the wife who really wants to have a child but they still do not have. The moment when Juno saw her and promised her to give the baby, she looks extremely happy and grateful. This movie probably can be used by teachers to discuss the social issues that occur around us.
