Jenny, Juno
14 Sai no Haha
Koizora
One is adorable, one is realistic, one is tragic; but I love them all. Jenny Juno offered a pure love associated within the story, and rather than truly focusing on the issue of teenage pregnacy, it made the female audience all want that caring and responsible (and so adorable!) boyfriend, Juno. But come on, it's a movie, and they aren't perfect - some are there to be fun and light-hearted so don't take this one seriously. And of course, I loved this movie. Greatly entertaining.
14 Sai no Haha, starring Shida Mirai, set a different tone to the same issue. It starts off innocent, with a spunky girl developing a relationship with a guy from her cram school. As the drama progresses, and the girl discovers her pregnancy, she realizes how cruel yet beautiful life can be. Ultimately, this naive girl matures and begans to take major responsibilites over her life, choosing not to abort her child. I think that this drama is amazing teaching material because it is life-altering, it's realistic, and it shows a young girl's struggles through a very difficult situation and her eventual perseverance.
Koizora. Now this movie isn't exactly realistic, but I loved how the main couple's relationship developed... phone calls over the course of one summer. (though of course this is not recommended, as phone calls with a stranger can be very dangerous...but on with the review lol) The tall and pretty Aragaki Yui is a plus. The story: one sad situation after another. But the scenes are totally gorgeous and the movie worth watching.
