Jessica and Juno
Jan 4, 2008 Uncategorized
Jessica said I can use the name we actually use with her on the blog. Oh my god, people, this will be a relief. So we call Jessica Pennie. (Her legal name is Jessica but her friends call her Pennie.) Those of you who have friended me on myspace already know this because Pennie is my TOP FRIEND. As she should be. Anyway, what Pennie said about Juno was:
- That she loved it and like all of you thought the writing was terrific;
- That she identified an awful lot with Juno and felt that her snarkiness was effectively used to show her need to emotionally distance herself from the pregnancy (in other words, she didn’t think it was just the writer being smart and felt it was purposefully placed to convey Juno’s defense mechanism).
I will likely wait ’til it comes on DVD and then watch it. From all I’ve read and heard I think I’m not going to like it as much as Pennie did. But see? We are allowed to disagree on things including how adoption is conveyed in the media.
