Fraught with over obvious symbolism, Hartley's early feature is nonetheless a joy to watch. Hal here shows us his uncanny ability to cast his characters perfectly came early in his career.
Adrienne Shelley is a near perfect foil to herself, equal parts annoying teen burgeoning in her sexuality (though using sex for several years); obsessed with doom and inspired by idealism gone wrong she is deceptively – and simultaneously – complex and simple. Her Audrey inspires so many levels of symbolism it is almost embarrassingly rich (e.g., her modeling career beginning with photos of her foot – culminating her doing nude (but unseen) work; Manhattan move; Europe trip; her stealing, then sleeping with the mechanics wrench, etc.)
As Josh, Robert Burke gives an absolutely masterful performance. A reformed prisoner/penitent he returns to his home town to face down past demons, accept his lot and begin a new life. Dressed in black, and repeatedly mistaken for a priest, he corrects everyone ("I'm a mechanic"), yet the symbolism is rich: he abstains from alcohol, he practices celibacy (is, in fact a virgin), and seemingly has taken on vows of poverty, and humility as well. The humility seems hardest to swallow seeming, at times, almost false, a pretense. Yet, as we learn more of Josh we see genuineness in his modesty, that his humility is indeed earnest and believable. What seems ironic is the character is fairly forthright in his simplicity, yet so richly drawn it becomes the viewer who wants to make him out as more than what he actually is. A fascinatingly written character, perfectly played.
The scene between Josh and Jane (a wonderful, young Edie Falco . . . "You need a woman not a girl") is hilarious . . . real. But Hartley can't leave it as such and his trick, having the actors repeat the dialogue over-and-over becomes frustratingly "arty" and annoying . . . until again it becomes hilarious. What a terrific sense of bizarre reality this lends the film (like kids in a perpetual "am not"/"are too" argument).
Hartley's weaves all of a small neighborhood's idiosyncrasies into a tapestry of seeming stereotypes but which delves far beneath the surface, the catalyst being that everyone believes they know what the "unbelievable truth" of the title is, yet no two people can agree (including our hero) on what exactly that truth is. A wonderful little movie with some big ideas.
特别喜欢，作为亚洲人挺共情的，没有在种族这件事上感受到丝毫不适。在meimei第一次仪式和小熊猫面对面的时候一下就哭了，后面一直又哭又笑，不是因为具体的什么情节，而是一种从心里的纯粹的感动。最后我真想说小熊猫也太可爱了！
我疯了，谁不想变成红熊猫啊啊啊啊啊啊啊啊？！！！
千禧年背景好评，熟悉的童年！！前面觉得一般般，可到第三幕月圆之夜开始怎么那么好看！音乐也好好听啊！念经part mix 男团舞曲简直不要太潮！！最后，中文女导演们都真的很在意母女关系呢～
标题译得很好，一方面点出了“成长”这个皮克斯几十年如一日的母题，另一方面也呈现出文本上与卡夫卡的暗合。
3.中国符号，神话故事、熊猫、宗祠
这个片子不会引进吧，可能会被一些人说insult，里面的人好像越南裔……标题都给工号们想好了，惊，迪斯尼宣扬××××糟粕引争议，虎妈变红似人猿泰山，花季少女如何逃离魔爪圆追星梦……
所以这是个给家长看的教育片吧？希望每个女孩都和自己的小熊猫以及自己的妈妈和解，Peace&Love！

2.中国家长（近两年对女性对家庭贡献的再发掘）母亲，对子女的控制欲
这应该是《寻梦环游记》和《心灵奇旅》后又一强作了，而作为华人家庭更深有感触和能获得共鸣，这应该也是皮克斯对女性成长和性隐喻探讨最大胆和脑洞的一次了。主题嘛依然遵循“做自己”永恒不变的宗旨少了些许新鲜劲，但故事做得是真顺滑和有趣呀。
用一部电影就想讲家庭教育，确实有点托大了。成长的烦恼那么多集，也没敢给家庭关系下定论。况且，听妈妈的话，和独立思考，并不是水火不容。
旧时的祝福却成为现时的诅咒，世界的守护却成为自我的惩罚。在竹林里牵起痛哭女孩的手，告诉她可以不用追求完美，取悦母亲，但她还是选择封印了红熊猫。你的野兽又脏又臭，怪异又与众不同。但它也可以让你飞檐走壁，带给别人快乐。你的自我本是上天的赐福，却被规训被压抑被教化，长成藏起尾巴的大人。
命题作文般的创意，看似深刻的主题表现出来过于浅显。整片给我的所有感觉都很像《魔法满屋》。
真的是可爱爆炸，谢谢Pixar. 超喜欢闺蜜们！但是说实话从包宝宝开始就不太喜欢导演的三观，不停强调华裔父母望子成龙的畸形三观是不是太陈腐了…看着有点儿不舒服。好像导演本人深受荼毒一有机会就大加控诉。
一部分带有潜在性冲动的少女心事 确实女孩成长的世界里不止仅仅是异性 对理想人设的幻想 对权威控制的思考 对自我身份的体察 以及对外界关系的感知都在过程中逐渐成型//是熊猫但又不完全是熊猫 既是国别身份也是女性意识//母女之间的控制与被控制 反抗与被反抗 望女成才是正常期望而上行下效往往会转变为某种过度压迫的极低容错率 但其实在完美标准之下我们都还有其他路可走//皮克斯故事所带有的双重性在一定层面上总能达到寓教于乐 完善的工业体系产出的作品至少也会在合格线 动画的制作人物的搭建关系的连接主题的表达行云流水 太让人羡慕了//withGJR 她被毛茸茸的小熊猫可爱坏了但她不知道她比小熊猫还可爱
故事一般，但中国人的亲情点抓得很准，数次被逗乐！
一起看过的。不要封印自己的愤怒，而是要变成（小）熊（猫）！！！！！！
虽然同时上了流媒体，但为了皮克斯长篇的首位亚裔也是女性导演，还是去影院支持了下。一部很能relate的让我爆笑又爆哭的动画，太过真实以至于有点trigger。虽然是亚洲故事，但大概每个人心里都有一个羞于示人的小熊猫吧，无论是追星御宅，小众癖好，精神病史，性向性别，还是离经叛道的爱情，都可能会不被家庭乃至社会接受，让我们不得不叛逆，在接受我们的人给予的支持和爱中，也接受这只小熊猫是我们自己的一部分，去爱上完整的自己。同时这也是一个非常好的三代母女之间的代际故事，家长难免把期望投射在孩子身上，尤其是亚洲家长，想让孩子成为既像自己又超越自己的完美版本，给孩子造成了心理伤害，更可怕的是这种模式会代代相传。站出来说“我是我自己”，是一件多么勇敢的事情，而能被家长所全部接纳，又是一件多么幸运的事情
