I kind of enjoyed the film apart from Juno talking unlike any 16 year old I've ever seen. I think that by making Juno a real character the movie woud have been much more powerful. I cant understand why they made her a 16 year-old gag-spouting, care-free person. Thats a fantasy character.....
shareYeah, I agree, but most characters today in movie and TV are like that. Look at past movies and the movie classics and there was an effort, or maybe it was just natural, to make characters as much as they would be like if they were real people. Today they are always pandering to kids and women You see women who weigh less than 100 pounds routinely beating up guys that are twice as big as they are, and kids who talk like they know everything and wisecrack like old comedians. No wonder the latest generations are confused.
shareI'd argue the opposite is true. The dialogue in older films feels fake and stilted, like it was written for the stage. People don't speak that way. Pulp Fiction is the first movie I can remember watching where I thought "this is like listening to me and my friends talking." Juno, while far from being a Pulp Fiction, has that same quality. When I listen to the teenage characters speak, they sound like conversations I had in high school.
share.... "this is like listening to me and my friends talking."
N-word and MF'er is how you talk? Well, good for you.
If that's your only takeaway from the dialogue in Pulp Fiction, you weren't paying attention.
shareif you were listening for meaning, you were wasting your life, like you are now arguing to promote trash to art.
shareI didn't realize you were the arbiter of what is art vs. what is trash. And all this time I thought Pulp Fiction to be a masterpiece with exquisite, realistic dialogue. Thanks for letting me know your opinion is actually fact.
shareThey were ahead of there time?
