Juno is a film, directed by Jason Reitman, about a sixteen-year-old pregnant girl, and the ups and down she faces whilst so. I found the character of Juno to be an admirable one, as she is courageous, an idealist and is true to herself which is shown through many effective film techniques.


Juno was admirable as she was a very courageous teenage girl, especially because of the fact that she decided against having an abortion. This was shown through the technique of dialogue and the quote: “…it has fingernails.” When Juno says this, she realises that the baby was a living, developing thing, and she could not bring herself to terminate it. Juno saw deeper than just the fact that she was a pregnant teen and was “screwed” and puts the baby’s life before her own, which I can see as a courageous feat for a pregnant girl her age, which I find admirable.

Juno is also a quirky, true to herself kind of person, which is another admirable trait.
This is shown through the use of costume and props; Juno doesn’t dress like other teens, she prefers to wear whatever is comfortable i.e baggy jeans and a warm sweater; and doesn’t follow the trends. This is an admirable quality as it shows us that she is original, and doesn’t feel the pressure to fit into stereotypical groups, which is difficult for teenagers in today’s society. Juno shows us that you can actually be happy without having to feel the need to be accepted by anyone but yourself, which I find to be an extremely admirable quality.
