Very eye-opening to life. Having a child closely coming up on these hard years it reminds you what it felt like when you were that age. Trying to be perfect and please everyone....the racial demographic is none exsistant. We live in a beautiful time period were EVERYONE'S culture is being shared; different faces, colors, different areas...as a black woman raising children in such an ignorant hateful world how dare anyone say it's wrong to get to know about someone else and their culture? Isn't that what's been wrong for SO MAnY YEARS? We ARE all different, we should celebrate that...and if we watch, learn, listen we might ACTUALLY find how truly similar we are. Those differences connect us and make us better! Why is it rasist seeing another culture? Isn't it kinda rasist that the ENTIRE world is made of different people of all sizes, shapes, colors, traditions...yet we always see a little white kid from suburbia? I am thankful they are FINALLY letting other stories be told, maybe we can finally make the world a more fair and seen place? Maybe we can finally start undoing so much pain...maybe we can ALL start being able to let our hair down and be proud of who we are and where we come from...instead of hiding.
Turning Red is an amazing story, amazing depth to characters. A pleasant reminder to what WE ALL have to experience with changing bodies and growing up, inside and out. There is no race, gender or culture that doesn't experience the embarrassing awkwardness of puberty. This movie shines through all of that, to make you feel almost proud of yourself and the greatness those really hard years actually are....you CAN be your wild, free, crazyself. You CAN UNLEASH the beast.
