An Analysis of the Mother-Daughter Relationship in the Film Turning Red from a Feminist Perspective
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Turning Red is an animated film by Pixar, directed by Domee Shi, which tells the story of Meimei, a Chinese girl living in Toronto, Canada, with her friends and family during her adolescence. Meimei and Ming are very typical of the Chinese mother-daughter relationship. This paper focuses on the 'mother-daughter relationship' in this film from a feminist perspective and analyses the relationships and conflicts based on Simone de Beauvoir's The Second Sex. Through the analysis, it can be concluded that the mother in the film is a strong character as an image with high demands on her child; the daughter is depicted invisibly as the Other, but thanks to her friends' support and the effect of her environment, she wakes her sense of self and reconciles with her mother. The mother and daughter appear to be in conflict and confrontation before, but in fact, both have the same inner choice, and the mother eventually agrees with her daughter's choice. These seemingly small shifts are the result of generations of women fighting for their rights. More and more women are able to be themselves without being bound by tradition and without being held hostage by habit, and this is the meaning of feminism to this day.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
