Love Finds the Way

Rating: Null/10 (22 February 2008)

I'm glad to write this review. So many times movies don't deal with love in real forms. But Juno at a older than years age of 16 has to ask herself questions of who she is, "I don't really know what kind of girl I am." In a non-pro life way, this movie helps her discover what it means to love, by choosing to give birth to her unexpected child and the journey from that choice.
When the movie begins, Juno, her friends, parents and boyfriend all act nonchalant about the pregnancy (summed up in the first minutes by the comments of the store clerk). Juno deals with the pregnancy as just another problem she needs to solve. The turning point comes at the abortion clinic when she rejects the assumptions of the "unattached from emotions" receptionist, and wants to believe life is greater.
It is in the pursuit of life and probably what it means to create life that she understands life requires the attachment to others. Juno helps another woman, Vanessa Loring (Jennifer Garner), fulfill her life's need for this attachment by allowing her to adopt the baby. And by the end Juno is able to feel the emotions of the greatest gift and important attachment life offers, giving birth to a new life.
Life is about Love, Attachment, Connection and our journeys to seek and find the source of that life. I'm a believer in an abundant life that comes when you discover that source. I hope Juno inspires others to seek and find also.
