*If te haven't seen the movie Hard caramelle (another Ellen Paige film which is a great movie!), then watch the film first o get details on about the film before Leggere this, because I don't wanna give spoilers to it. But if te have seen it, then te can read this. Maybe about the secondo time watching the film, te may have noticed these small connections with each other.*

I was watching Hard caramelle for the secondo time one night, and noticed it had some similarities to Juno. Hard caramelle did come first before Juno, so Juno may have connections to it. I paused the movie and asked my parents if they have noticed the them, and they said,"It's probably just a coincidence, don't worry about it." Yet, I feel like they maybe, maybe not. But, I'll just mostra the differences first, but then why I feel like they have some sort of connection with each other.


Hard caramelle 2005/thriller:

* It is più dramatic and suspenseful

* te can't tell who's really the good o bad guy

* It completely leaves te hanging

* There is a small group of cast members, no huge crowd of actors out in the streets o anything.

*It has one main setting

*The teen and adult in the film practically try to go all Itchy and Scratchy on each other

*The teen in the movie is a genius

*They make the adult look dumb, yet smart at the same time. They make the adult imperfect, yet he has a hard past, making te feel bad, yet wonder if that's why he's so messed up.

*You never know if he's really pedophile o not

*Haley makes us think that she may not even be who she told Jeff that she really was.


Juno 2007/Comedy/Drama:

* Juno is a funny sweet sarcastic cute person, unlike Haley in Hard Candy

* Juno tries to be the adult and admits that she can't take care of the child she's carrying

* She has a tight and sweet bond with her best friend, who is the father of her child

* How she sees the world isn't very negative

* Though she may not be the smartest person around, she does try to take her situation very maturely.

*It shows that Juno has a cuore and that she can't give up the baby for adoption, and is afraid if she sees the baby o has connections with it, she'll regret giving it up.

*The movie shows Juno's family, friends, and everyone else that she has some sort of bond with.

*The actors in this movie are più noticed and recognizable.

* It shows sweetness and love, and it's più realistic with feelings and emotions of being a pregnant teen, of how hard it is and emotional it is.

* It has più Musica in the soundtrack.


Okay, those are few of the many examples, but here's how both of the Film have something in common:

* Both Juno and Haley wear red jackets

* Jeff "hung" himself in Hard Candy, and Juno tries to hang herself with a licorice caramelle rope, but fails.

* Both teens in both Film deal with some sort of flirtation o desire of an older man. Haley on the other hand lured Jeff in più than anything, but Jeff let her flirt, make alcoholic drinks, took her into his house, met her in person da herself and flirted right back. Juno may have actually had a crush on Mark. Mark was just either confused o had a fascination with Juno. He gave her a comic book with a pregnant superhero on it, slow danced with her, watched horror Film with her while his wife was away, and Juno would brag about him and even put make up on whenever she went over to his house.

*Mark and Jeff both have some type of perverted ways to them. Jeff had half naked underage girls on his walls from his photography, and if te pay close attention in Juno, Mark is on a pornographic website. Some may even feel that Mark giving the comic book to Juno o letting her be alone with him is wrong. But both guys have some sort of perverted sexual way to them.

*Both Haley and Juno go to a different house for a long period of time without their parents knowing. With Haley, te don't exactly know since she lies, but since they mostra Juno's life they mostra how Brenda is upset that she's gone all the time.

* Both of the girls have somewhat of a sweet tooth. Juno drinks large amounts of slushies and Haley at the beginning of Hard caramelle was ordering a lot of cake and dessert treats, just eating them constantly.

Okay, these are all that I can think of right now, but if te think it's all a coincidence, that's fine, I kinda think that too. Yet, at the same time I see small connections with each other. They're both Ellen Paige films of course, but other than that, I saw small similarities to each other. I maybe missing some, but for now this was all I could think of at the moment for this. Maybe there is a connection, not sure, but I just thought of this and felt that I had to write this out. ;)!
