JUNO internalizes her mother's rejection!

Rating: Null/10 (5 June 2008)

JUNO is really just about JUNO---she "accidentally on purpose" gets pregnant with a boy she has set out to dominate. She loves everything about him (geek that he is, with no attractiveness at all). She chooses him the way a bird chooses a mate.....because she has absolutely no confidence in herself as a mother---she's been abandoned by her own mother, who had 3 "replacement" kids, and never even visits. Juno is as pathetic as Tim McVeigh. She feels so inadequate that she feels its pointless waiting to have anyone marry her. Why bother to have an abortion, if she's inadequate to raise a child LATER? She might as well pass on her genetic baggage and let someone else, anyone else, raise her child. Juno self-sabotages, because of her O self-esteem---not only that, she does all the "work" of planning what to do with the child, and "entertains" all the adults around her with her patter---without a tear, she wants a CLOSED adoption. Her life is closed---already---by her own mother. If her own mother didn't want her, why would her baby ever want her? Juno also doesn't exist enough to have the choice of abortion. She wants to get the whole thing over with, and never feel good about it---she doesn't see the kid, because only another woman deserves to see it. She takes no pride in her sexuality, her looks, or her clothes. Juno dresses as a boy, holds a pipe, strums a guitar, watches gore films and cracks jokes not to be boyish or mannish, but simply to disappear as a girl/woman.
