17 Premiere (2)

Sarah went inside the theater and took a short break on a corner to rest for a while, and recover her breath.

After a while, her co-star Michael also came from behind. His turn was after her and he didn't show any panic or anything like that. He seemed to be used to attending these events now.

"Good evening, Sarah.... " A surprise flashed in Michael's eyes. He was a little stunned. He has always known that Sarah is a very beautiful girl, and has even tried to pursue her, although it was through hints. He didn't say it openly as it might have affected the atmosphere of the set, and couldn't get the chance during the promotion events.

Sarah smiled and said, "Thank you. You also look very handsome. I can hear girls screaming for you even from here."

Michael was a speechless. The one he wants to impress is the girl in front of him, but she doesn't seem to have any interest in him and is even pushing him toward the other girls. In the end, he stopped himself from saying anything and kept quiet.

Sarah pretended as if she didn't see the embarrassment of the person in front of her.

She knows that Micahel Cera has a crush on her, and she also thinks that he is kind of cute and smart boy, but that's only it. She doesn't have any other feelings or special liking for him, except for being co-stars.

The atmosphere was a little awkward, but soon Producer Mason Novikh came from behind and greeted them: "The screening is about to start. Let's go and sit down first."

The 500 seats of the Empire theater were full of film critics, crew members, invited celebrities and some lucky fans.

Sarah went to the first row where the seats for the main cast were fixed, and sat on director's right side.

"You look happy and excited today." Director Jason greeted, "I hope you can enjoy the movie, even if we all have seen it multiple times before."

Anyone who has watched a movie knows that the front seats are not the best place to sit in theaters. You have to keep your head raised all the time to watch the movie.

Sarah's face was a little stiff at Director's joke. She has already started to feel a pain in her spine just by thinking about the next two hours.

The lights in the auditorium gradually dimmed, and first movie of her life unfolded little by little in front of her.

...

[The movie starts by the scene where Juno has a flash back of having sex with her friend Paulie Bleeker. The scene returns to the present where Juno goes to a shopping mall to get a pregnancy kit for the third time. The shop owner scolds her to get out of her dillusion and accept the reality that she's pregnant. Juno ignores and goes for another test.]

Critics watching the movie nodded. They can understand Juno's behaviour. Its a human nature that one try to deny the things he doesn't want to believe in. At least, the start of the movie feels good.

[Juno felt confused and doesn't know what to do. She tests Paulie reaction by telling him the fact that she's pregnant. But his support for her decision of abortion makes her even more confused, and she decides to go for abortion.]

Fans who were watching the movie felt that both Paulie and Juno are so stupid. Why can't they tell that they like each other. Critics on the other hand, were satisfied with the progress of the movie. The story is realistic and ideal at the same time.

[Juno goes to a local women's clinic where she encounters a schoolmate outside who is holding a one-person anti-abortion vigil. After finally looking at her heart, she decides to give the baby up for adoption.

With the help of her friend Leah, she searches the ads in the Pennysaver and finds a childless married couple she feels will provide a suitable home for the baby. She tells her father Mac and stepmother Bren, who offer their support. With Mac, Juno meets the couple, Mark and Vanessa Loring, in their expensive Saint Cloud home, and agrees to a closed adoption.]

Sarah looked at her surroundings, and the response of the audience and critics was going well. The movie has been half completed, and no critic or audience has left the theater.

[Juno and Leah happen to see Vanessa in a shopping mall being completely at ease with a child, and Juno encourages Vanessa to talk to the baby in Juno's womb, which kicks for her.]

But as they say, life is not a fairy tale. And things change in the movie too.

[Mark who was going to adopt the baby with his wife, backs out. He tells Juno that he has started developing feelings for her. Juno drives away and breaks down in tears by the side of the road. Returning to the Mark and Vanessa's house, she leaves a note and disappears as the owners answer the door.]

Film Critic, Saul Pelin looked at the girl sitting in the first row. The acting skills are good, and there is no point in the movie where one feels that she is acting fake. The talent is excellent, but there are also others who can also act this good. But the important thing is the fact that this is only first work of Sarah Wilson, and she's giving such a good performance on her first project. Its like seeing Julia Robert in Pretty Woman, of course Sarah can't be compared to the other one yet. But she is still an exceptional talent which hollywood has not seen for a while now.

[Coming back to the screen, Juno accepts that she loves Paulie. She then tells him that she loves him, and Paulie's actions make it clear her feelings are very much reciprocated. Not long after, Juno goes into labor and is rushed to the hospital, where she gives birth to a baby boy. She had deliberately not told Paulie because of his track meet.

Seeing Juno missing from the stands, Paulie rushes to the hospital, finds she has given birth to their son, and comforts her as she cries.]

The audience and most of the fans smiled seeing the scene. Some of the older ones even cried hearing the dialogue between Juno and Paulie.

[Vanessa comes to the hospital, where she joyfully claims the newborn boy as a single adoptive mother. On the wall in the baby's new nursery, Vanessa has framed Juno's note, which reads: "Vanessa: If you're still in, I'm still in. —Juno."]

The film ends in the summer time with Juno and Paulie playing guitar and singing together, in a happy relationship.
