So i just finished watching Juno. And here is what i thought.
I wasn't over excited about the movie when it first started because it was dealing with unwed teen pregnancy. And in light of today's culture, i figured it would be a moral sellout. However it wasn't as bad as i anticipated. For one i like the way the dad responded, he may have been disappointed but he didn't get all angry (I'm not a big fan of movies depicting domestic strife). And he still cared and helped his daughter through her difficulties. To me, that's what a real family is all about, being there for you when things aren't the best.
I'm a bit disappointed in the adoptive parents getting a divorce. Though i know this is a fact of life for many people, i wish it wasn't so and it makes me sad to see it happen. The dad had a good point that you need to find someone that loves you for who you are. But what if who you are changes? Is it reasonable to expect someone to keep loving you if something happens to you? No its probably not reasonable. But then again love isn't really reasonable in the first place. What do i mean by love? In that last statement i mean still being the same way towards someone despite their daily ups and downs. How far can someone change before we don't have to love them anymore? Or perhaps I still love that person but it changes to a different kind of love.
This all may not make much sense, but my mind was mulling over these thoughts on my way back from my friends house.
