Promptly reminding the story of the “red light”, worthy of the “guideline” of sex education
After a period of delay due to the epidemic, finally, the Pixar film studio has returned to “extreme tension” with the work Turning Red (Transforming Red Bear), revolves around a 13-year-old Chinese-Canadian girl with the ability to transform into a “playful” shape. Specifically, every time this girl’s mood swings, she transforms into a giant red panda, thereby bringing many interesting experiences and great lessons.
Turning Red is similar to the allegory about puberty, now praised as the best animated blockbuster in 2022
With the topic of adolescence, again focusing on the “sensitive” issue of women, Turning Red not only catch the trend of sex education but also break some barriers of Hollywood animation industry. This is also the first Pixar film with a female director – Domee Shi, who is behind the short film Bag what year. And the central character is of Asian descent. Thanks to that, since its premiere, Turning Red has been praised all the time, becoming a modern manifesto for the “omorous” age.
Meilin Lee, the main character Turning Red
Puberty is an eternal human experience. And in the case of little Meilin Lee, the main character Turning Red, the process of growing up is equally arduous. So much so that every small change in her body makes Meilin angry, turning into a red panda to deal with reality.
But, Turning Red It’s not just about the ability to transform, but it’s also a metaphor for the new story. In front of her new body condition, Meilin Lee feels like a supernatural self. In addition to menstruation, she is also “crazy” with body odor and the problem… armpit hair.
Thereby, Pixar sends a special message about puberty. The film compares this sensitive transformation as a sacred moment, no different from an “emotional roller coaster” for people to practice great. Instead of shame and guilt about the “red light” day Turning Red advise us to cherish, because the female body from 13-15 years old contains a lot of interesting things.
In Asian culture, puberty is often associated with fear, disgust, or taboo in public settings. Therefore, the appearance of Turning Red as a “revolutionary” lesson for both parents and children.
The film depicts how Asian families deal with puberty
“The thing about puberty doesn’t come up very often in movies and television,” director Domee Shi told entertainment news site Uproxx, “And I think that’s why we wanted to include it in the film. I mean it. is, this movie is like it was for me at 13 years old, panicking in the bathroom, scared of what’s under my panties, too scared to tell my mom (an Asian woman) and the people around.”
Currently, director Domee Shi hopes Turning Red will be a great “guideline” to help girls become more confident during puberty. Instead of getting angry or sad, celebrate your body and treat it as a normal part of life.
