Turning Red (2022)

"Nothing stays the same forever"
15 March 2022
I had a pretty unique experience with the movie. I thought the first third of the film had a not-so-subtle message. Don't get me wrong, I love Pixar movies mostly cause they manage to be a fun, and joyful experience for kids, but also a thoughtful and emotional metaphoric driven experience to adults. And at the end of the day, I love all the subjects, like anxiety, anger, jealously and all the other emotions a teenager starts to be wrap into after a certain age. Still, I thought they didn't do a great job of having a more subtle message, instead of "yeah, she's a big red monster now... and her mother brought her a pad".

However, as the story kept going, I was more and more involved into it, and at the end, the gut punch, in what already is one of my favorite lines ever in a movie "And yeah... sometimes I miss how things were, but nothing stays the same forever". I mean, c'mon!!! This got me good, real good. And I feel most people 20y+ will probably feel the same.

Anyways, I thing the movie is pretty good, as always Pixar manages to tell a story that will entertain most kids, and basically leave all adults watering at the end. And I will never get tire of this formula. Keep it up.
