I read that some white dude felt Turning Red, Pixar's latest cuddly release, was limiting in scope, because it was centered around an Asian Canadian girl growing up in Toronto. Hate to break it to you, but dude, your racism is showing! Turning Red is the most relatable film if you've ever been through puberty, tried to figure out your own identity, and dealt with raging emotions. It's a classic coming-of-age story, and if that's unrelatable, then please take your male white privilege to Donald Trump's sauna party for fragile egos.
That's really all I have to say about that, other than...watch this movie now! It's so cute. And what I really love about this movie, what really stood out to me was the theme of dealing with, managing, and embracing all our emotions as part of us. That's something that even as an adult, I'm sure many of us can connect with...except for Sean O'Connell, CinemaBlend's managing director. P.S. I loved Phil Yu's (@angryasianman) response:
