Screenplay: Juno

For our script assignment, I decided to read the screenplay for Juno. I love this movie, because it confronts the everyday (and as well as the more unusual,) trials and otherwise entirely awkward situations we as human beings encounter in this life. It does so, however, with a cutting humor that makes even the most dire circumstances appear laughable. The characters are witty, quick with their dialogue, and main character Juno MaGuff shoots from the hip with a string of sarcastic (yet well- informed,) and incredibly intelligent observations that serve to make her character one we find ourselves rooting for as the story evolves. Everything about this film makes me smile; from the characters and their funky wardrobes, to the dialogue and the quirky random props that crop up scene after scene. This is the type of character dialogue I am interested in generating, and look forward to the opportunity in both upcoming writing projects, as well as my screenplay endeavors. If you haven’t seen Juno yet, I encourage you to check it out…
