Juno
In a rare feat, I saw an oscar nominated film Juno. It was a great film dealing with a great actor playing the lead who was also nominated. She shows the great skill of someone twice her age, and will be one to watch in the future. The thing that bothers me is that I've seen a few stories now saying, "is hollywood setting a bad example" because the film deals with teenage pregnancy. A simple answer is to jump back 150 years and pregnant teens are the norm and the overall idea of a "childhood" simply doesn't exist. I'm not sure of what this is a byprodct of, but its just a question of historical context.
