A nice outer wheel. version 1.01

Rating: Null/10 (27 June 2011)

A rather nice sort of story. Nice to watch, nice to watch again occasionally.
I found the third quarter difficult, a need to go to sleep, that is the story development part, but it does include some rather nice bits. The tension felt by Best Friend at the mall, also the mall being the only scene where best friend and new mum can be seen together, also the created disaster re Soup Girl. It is the comparison with the first quarter that makes this part feel weak.
Wheels within wheels, I consider that while this is a story that hangs together well, that hidden behind that is maybe a very different story, a modern politics story. As such, Juno would not be alone, there are many, many more. It might even be that such an aspect is not so deliberate, that when the storytellers create a truly magnificent story it will just be incorporating stuff that they accept as sense?
If so, just what does the hidden story relate to? I note the mum's wishes re the baby. I note that the baby is a boy. I note that the new mum has a way with males. Madison. One should go Mouldy Peach?
One has to make one's own guess re what this story might really be about, but I saw this in the month that I saw mouldy Transformers Revenge and The Adventures of Sharkboy and Lavagirl and that influenced my current view. At least Juno can stand on its own outer wheels, as can the start of Sharkboy and Lavagirl.
As an armchair tourism side issue, the commentary appears to suggest that the story is set in bible belt USA. I find this to be a rather different story than what is usually set there, that it actually gives a positive view of that region.
