Great movie. So relatable as a fellow Asian girl. Some of the bad reviews I read on here from people aren’t reliable because they don’t truly understand what it’s like to grow up as an Asian girl in a traditional Asian household. Turning Red represents the family culture of Asians well. All the responsibilities and the pressure to always do your best and be perfect and never being able to satisfy your strict traditional Asian parents no matter what you achieve is so real. The red panda is currently viewed as negative, inconvenient, and destructive by the Asian elders in the movie, so the Asian elders, of course, do not embrace it, because as is made clear in the movie, they expect and strive for perfection. However, Mei eventually views it as a part of her despite its flaws because everyone and everything has flaws, so she embraces it. The dynamics of an Asian household and upbringing is unrealistic and toxic as there’s clear evidence of generational trauma, but this is how traditional asian parents are because it’s their way of pushing their children hard to succeed, so the movie is accurate and good because Mei is embracing all parts of her despite how she was raised and what she was taught by her traditional Asian mom, and is so far breaking the generational trauma.
