[US Entertainment] From web dramas to Oscars

There is no doubt that, like "Perfume", "Juno" is also popular.But this time the explosion was a little different.Because anyway, there are many people who object to the murderer's story told by perfume.But this time "Juno" was unanimously praised by everyone.

"Fopper gave us the best Christmas present in advance - Juno!"

-- "Daily Mail"

"Before "Juno" came out, we were a little skeptical, because Fopper couldn't make this type of film, judging by the role he forgot. But after watching this film, everything is there. The answer, they overcame doubts and gave us a big surprise again. This movie was created and shot when he was suffering from cancer. I also bought it here to see what kind of mentality Fopper is. It may be like the protagonist Just like Juno, he was confused at the beginning, then struggled and puzzled, and finally relieved, smiled, and confident... This is not a movie about teenage pregnancy created by Fopper. It is an alternative story about him and cancer Stories of struggle..."

"I have to admire Fopper's ability to write stories. The lines and dialogues of the movie always make people smile knowingly. The characters in the movie are also so unbearably funny. Such a serious story, in Fopper's script It is so unique and warm. He makes people smile from the beginning to the end. But smiling all the time does not mean that the content is superficial. In fact, this movie is explaining this truth, that is, people's self-reliance and self-improvement..."

"The birth of a new generation of queens! Ellen Page!"

——The Hollywood Times

It is different from the "Daily Mail", which likes to report on the things that the public is most interested in.Hollywood's local "Hollywood Times" always pays the most attention to reporting the most outstanding point of the movie itself, and in the movie "Juno", Fopper's performance cannot be called bad. He put a high school student's The youthful and immature performance is very good, but why is "Juno" called "Juno"?It is precisely because your heroine in the movie is the center of the movie.And the Hollywood Times covered it well.

"Normal admiration is no longer enough to describe Ellen Page's masterful performance, which is completely different from her simple image in "Mouth to Mouth", and her image is so vivid in "Juno". Casually Foul language, middle finger. It doesn’t need much performance, just a look, a movement, and a word can fully interpret a unique young girl. And when she is pregnant, the way she walks with a big belly is like A real pregnant woman, in this movie, her acting talent is fully displayed. There is no sense of youthfulness in the performance. It is conceivable that the Oscar organizing committee needs to worry about nominations for this year's leading actress. At the same time, " "Juno" also made Ellen Page's stardom even brighter. It is reported that immediately after "Juno" was released, a film company approached him and invited her to make a movie..."

"The classic of teenage pregnancy movies - 'Juno'!"

-- "Los Angeles Times"

"It is also a work of teenage pregnancy, but "Sweetheart" released in 2000 does not seem to have the aura of "Juno", although it starred Natalie Portman. The movie "Juno" only starred It’s just an unknown Ellen Page. But I have to admire the screenwriter Fopper’s imagination and creative ability. He let us know that the movie doesn’t need anything else to make it look good, and it doesn’t need the rich popularity of the original novel. There is no need for big productions or star actors. All he needs is a simple thing, a story!

I don't know when Fopper's screenwriting ability has become one of his signatures. As long as it is related to his reports, the media always needs to praise and mention it.And when a film like "Juno" with neither a big director nor a big star becomes something people admire, there is no doubt that Fopper's screenplay is undoubtedly revealed.

"Juno!"

——"USA TODAY"

The always cold "USA Today" was as cold as ever. He only used two words to describe the report on "Juno".

"Youth is something everyone has to experience. And "Juno" is undoubtedly one of the most satisfying movies. I just saw the cartoony text and pictures, clear and clean music, and warm and bright sunshine at the beginning. ...everything represents beautiful youth."

"Storytelling is a very difficult and simple thing. The simplicity lies in the fact that everyone can do it. The difficulty lies in how to tell this story well and perfectly. There is no doubt that Fopper is a master of storytelling .Teenage pregnancy is actually a very heavy thing, but Fopper used a very light tone to tell it."

"Juno is a 16-year-old kid who likes to drink orange juice, uses a cute hamburger-shaped phone, and even shakes it when she's on the phone. And that's it, she's pregnant. And in it, the story Although with a dark color, Fopper spoke very clearly. Just like what Juno's classmates talked about, they didn't simply discuss it, but their tone was novel: You know that Juno is pregnant Like our mothers and teachers... Or to Fopper's Brick: You are so good! You should grow a beard... Very simple and youthful words, let people think about pregnancy Something very shameful became cheerful."

"Of course, a good story must have a warm family, just like Juno's family. Most importantly, Juno's mother is a stepmother, but she is not like the queen in "Snow White". A kind of caring and loving look at Juno, not only when she learned that Juno was pregnant, she smiled and said: Anyway, thank God for this gift. It was the stepmother who argued with the nurse in the hospital examination room to defend Juno The dignity of the mother made people feel the strong maternal love. When the stepmother faced the nurse's accusation against Juno, she said: Just do your own thing well. She may mean to say, don't judge others casually, You don't know what other people are like. We can't help but applaud this great mother."

"And it is precisely because of this kind of mother that Juno is made like this. She can bravely bear the consequences of her actions and bear the pain of being pregnant in October. She can't watch movies with her classmates and smash donuts. She also has to put up with everyone's strange looks, but she doesn't blame anyone. She's just a little angry when the boy asks out other girls, and then she still thinks it's her fault. This is Juno, and she not only represents a girl Mom, also represents the side of people who are the first to be in youth. The side that has experienced tears and understands that even if it is difficult for people who love each other to be happy together forever, that side that understands whether you are happy or angry, beautiful or ugly , people who love you still think you are the best side..."

It is precisely because "Juno" was released in such an unembarrassing and unembarrassing movie schedule.This also means that it has no rivals in this schedule, so after three days of release, he easily won the box office weekly champion with a box office of 1400 million US dollars.

Don't think $1400 million is low.As I said before, because people including Yuqing and Goldfinger Film Company are not too optimistic about "Juno", and because Fopper is so focused on "Blood Diamond" that he has forgotten "Juno" ", so when "Juno" was released, there were less than 1000 theaters in North America.And such a premiere result can already be said to be perfect.

And it is precisely because of the box office performance of more than 4000 US dollars in a single hall that all movie theaters are moved by the news. When it is officially released next week, the number of theaters for "Juno" has reached 3000 crazy.

And such a huge number of movie theaters did not dilute the box office of "Juno", and Juno's daily single-house box office still remained above the amount of 4000 US dollars.By the time Fopper heard the news, "Juno" had once again occupied the top spot at the North American box office like an emperor.

It was released for 10 days, and the box office in the United States was 8900 million US dollars!With such box office results, the media went crazy!
