Abstract
This research explores the concept of body discipline and its implications in the movie "Turning Red," focusing on the character Meilin Lee and her portrayal of female regulation. Using the qualitative method and analytical approach inspired by Creswell & Guetterman. For collecting the data, the researchers watched the Turning Red movie repeatedly and highlighted the issue related to the research problem through the dialogues and scenes in the movie. Meanwhile, in analyzing the data, the researchers classified and analyzed the types of body discipline and its impacts towards Meilin Lee through the lens of Foucault's theory. Then, drew the conclusion. The analysis reveals that family and social space significantly influence the constraints imposed on the main character, depicted as the Red Panda, which transforms her behavior, resulting in anger or frustration, and eventually acceptance. Through this research, the movie "Turning Red" serves as a platform to explore and highlight the effects of body discipline on individuals, particularly in the context of female regulation.
