Turning Red (2022)
Watch Turning Red Full Movie Online
Thirteen-year-old Mei is experiencing the awkwardness of being a teenager with a twist – when she gets too excited, she transforms into a giant red panda.
I have to start with the amount of adult people reviewing this movie and saying things like: “it made me uncomfortable” “i didn’t understand it” “i couldn’t relate” No1 – its a kids movie.
No2 – just because you aren’t female, you couldn’t relate? Its a children’s movie!
I can’t relate to being a giant red panda, but i still enjoyed it.
This movie has a really good moral and metaphorical story to it.
Its a coming of age movie informing kids that they don’t have to be who they are told to be. It is also a coming of age metaphor for young girls experiencing a change in their bodies. (it happens, and its natural so chill out).
I loved the story and i loved the Asian influence. I saw one review saying the “mother was one of the worst characters and was really annoying”. That character is very accurate is some Asian cultures. An over baring parent with high expectations from their child, pressuring them to do well and the child seeking constant approval or feeling like they are not good enough. It happens more often than you think.
People saying its not appropriate for children because of the hidden messages – have you not seen the Shrek movies?
The animation is as always – amazing.
The story is clever and interesting.
Characters – some of the friends were a bit annoying at the beginning, but they grew on me.
Ignore the bad reviews, make up your own mind.
And buy the way, I am not a woman or Asian. I just have an interest in different people and cultures.
