Juno

There are some things that leave you speechless. Like maybe when u look at the girl you love! And believe me it happens everytime!! But there are some things that leave you thoughtless. Yeah it can happen. I watched this movie Juno and that was exactly the state I was in after the movie - thoughtless.

Usually I think twice before watching an Oscar nominated movie. But this time I didnt know that it had been nominated. It was 2 hours of bliss. A 16 year old girl gets pregnant. And instead of going for an abortion she actually delivers the baby after choosing a couple who are ready to adopt it. And in the course she figures out what she really wants.

Now such a topic for a movie is something that should have immediately led to many thoughts in my head and I would have started analysing the situation. But surprisingly I didnt have an opinion at the end of the movie. Its amazing screenplay and the songs held me captivated for the entire 2 hours. And the ending could not have been better. Everytime I think of the movie my mind goes blank. And I have watched it some 3 times in the last 4 days.......

I sometimes used to wonder if there will be atleast one thing about which I wont think too much and this movie is one that fits the bill. After all not thinking too much can be really soothing to the mind!!!
