Movie Report on Inside Out: The Value of All Our Emotions

Inside Out is “an American 3D computer-animated comedy film produced by Pixar Animation Studios and released by Walt Disney Picture.” Inside Out, director Pete Docter has released the film on 19 June 2015. The film takes place in the head of an 11-year-old girl named Riley, with five emotions that live inside her mind: Joy, Sadness, Fear, and Disgust.

These emotions live in the Headquarters and the control center inside Riley’s mind. Each of them has a well developed and who helps Riley navigate her world. She is uprooted from her Midwest life when her father starts a new job in San Francisco. At this time she misses her old home and old friends in the Midwest. The film becomes deeper about the nature of our emotions.

The standard way of thinking about Inside Out is conveyed to provide a base for discussion and thought among kids and adult alike. Riley does not get to make those choices, because the people in her head are making them for her. By focusing on Riley’s mind, people overlook the deeper problem of when looking into the parent’s minds that is not the same way as Riley’s mind. They find how the way parents handle their emotions are more advanced and systematic. Meanwhile, Riley’s minds are still young and innocent.

While Peter Docter’s point is “Inside Out may not be perfectly accurate, but the film inspires something more important than that, something that does not require scientific exactness”, it may still hold true that the movie shows how all of our emotions serve a function in our everyday lives, both the positive ones and the negative ones. Many people assume that when children watch this movie, it will help them gain a deeper understanding of their mental world and how all of their emotions play an important role.

One can easily agree that people can’t control their immediate emotional reactions, but they can control how they respond to their behavior. Because experience has shown that displaying of each emotion has its personality and drive, they learn their minds can be a complicated thing. It also shows how different people handle these emotions in different ways.

At the end of the film, Riley learns that all emotions play an important role for creating who we are, and even negative like “sadness” are crucial to being a fully functional and healthy human being. Finally, Inside Out gives parents a great opportunity to talk to their children more about their thoughts and feelings.
