What is the big deal about turning Red?

[KilroywasNOTHere]

So I went to twitter and found an obscure youtuber I watch trending on twitter
Mr. Enter Official (@MrEnterOfficial) / Twitter
for the review he's talking about


Ok so say Mr enter did give a bad take about the movie? My question is why do people care? Seriously what is so sacred about this film that it warrents this kind of attention? I'm mainly asking from the people that have seen the film. I saw the trailer and it just seemed sort of thier though I will say I was a bit nervous when the creator went out of the way to say it was a metaphor on Periods, other than that I really have no reaction one way or the other. but it's weird people in mass seemingly body/ratio people who didn't like the movie it's not the first time either.



Seriously What's the big deal about this film?

Update: somehow this got Yahoo's attention: Entertainment review YouTuber criticizes ‘Turning Red’ for not recognizing 9/11's cultural impact (yahoo.com)

I'm SO glad I did not take up content creating as a career.

Wonder if YT will take this one down, too.

It's retarded as fuck. Man I sailed the high seas to get an opinion and I regret doing it. Apparently is an allegory for periods. Not to mention is the most fucking stereotypical movie about being an immigrant, which fucking irritates me as the son of one.
But it's made by a woman who never directed anything beyond a 8 minute short and was basically only a producer until Luca.

The narrative is mediocre and the execution has all the nuance of a gut punch. It's meant to be a coming of age story, but for girls. The funny thing is I don't recall many coming of age stories directed at boys being so focused on sexuality. Sure the subject comes up usually in regard to a designated love interest, but the attraction is understated and is always secondary to the actual narrative of finding their place in life and proving their worth.

The film would have been significantly improved if it focused on one of the two major narratives; either make a drama about a girl coming to terms with her perceived maturity conflicting with a mother's authority, or a fantastic adventure about an uncontrollable transformation into a giant raccoon. Most of all, ditch the art style. It was hideous a decade ago and has long worn out its welcome.

I forgot to mention that apparently a meme trend started over the non-mention of 9/11 in the movie.

It's weird to me that people still care about Pixar. Their last good movie was Up, and that was... how many years ago? If this movie was produced by any other company, would it have garnered this much attention?

I watched with a person dear for me, since she had seen like fifteen horror movies with me, so we went for something... "light and wholesome and comfy".

21st century narrative in a hypersexualized media environment. Plus sexuality is what gives women their social power and is a rather big part of many women's identity especially now.
