INSIDE OUT!!
INSIDE OUT!!
Pixar’s newest film, Inside Out, tells the story of 11-year-old Riley and her difficulty dealing with a family move to San Francisco. The film is getting a lot of attention for its depiction of emotion and memory. Very unique, very clever, and very..."realistic." I say "realistic" because it does seem realistic to a child. I would LOVE to have a little joy running around in my head all the time! But, we all know that is not true. But it is a very good concept of things.
The action primarily takes place within Riley’s mind, with Joy, Sadness, Anger, Fear and Disgust as the main characters.One recurring plot point is how memories can be changed when they are remembered. In the movie, memories are shown as translucent globes encapsulating events. Each globe takes on a different hue depending on the primary emotion of the event. A golden-hued joyful memory starts to turn blue when held by Sadness, showing the transformation of a previously happy memory to one that becomes bittersweet with the acknowledgment of loss.
Inside Out does well when it comes to the interplay of memory and emotion. People don't understand mental illness, and depression is one of them! Sometimes you feel blue and you have NO reason why. Sometimes it feels like every "globe" in your brain has been touched by sadness. I have experienced this before, and I can feel myself going quickly going back. With the things that are happening in my life right now, I can't help to be and feel depressed, This movie perfectly describes how I feel, but it motion.
Overall, the movie does a great job of showing the complexity of the human mind. It’s a fun adventure story with a terrific message that is well worth watching. The important thing that I took away from this is to remember to never give up, and you need sadness to experience joy.
