Movie Analysis : Inside Out

There are five universal emotions shown in the movie. Riley and her parents all experience joy, sadness, anger, disgust, and fear. The emotions are displayed in the form of colorful characters in their brain.

The film Inside Out tells the story of a young girl named Riley and her changing emotions after she is forced to move from her home town in Minnesota to San Fransico for her father’s job. The story is told from the perspective of her five emotions. Riley’s emotions are led by Joy, who attempts to guide her through the stressful event. Although Joy puts forth great effort, Sadness takes over. When trying to protect Riley’s core memories from Sadness, Joy is swept from headquarters through the dump tube and Sadness follows. With Joy and Sadness gone, Anger, Fear, and Disgust are the only emotions left in headquarters; therefore, Riley cannot be happy or sad. Because Joy and Sadness are absent, Riley’s personality islands diminish one by one. Riley fights with her family, pushes away from her friends back home, and loses interest in hockey. As Joy and Sadness navigate through Riley’s brain in search of a way back to headquarters, they encounter many obsticles. Back in headquarters, Anger, Fear, and Disgust place the idea of running away into Riley’s head. Joy witnesses the transformation of a sad memory into a happy memory, and finally realizes the importance of all emotions, including Sadness. With the help of Bing Bong, Riley’s imaginary friend, Joy and Sadness find their way back to headquarters and are able to stop Riley from running away.

When Riley is faced with the major problem of her core memories, starting to shut down she starts to truly lose herself. Riley’s core memories fuel five islands that make up her personality, Hockey island, Honesty island, Friendship island, Family island, and Goofball island. Her core memories are based on times in her life that were significant to her, without them she does not really know who she is. Depression is the most common Mental illness, twentysix percent of adult people in the United States are diagnosed with it ("Mental Health Basics"). This movie does a really nice job of showing how irritable and dark a person can be when they are depressed. In the movie there is a part where Riley freaks out at her dad, getting mad, when all he did was ask how her day was at school. Throughout the movie she turns from a happy-loving girl to a sad quiet one. Depression is not when people find sadness when they are sad but find sadness when they are happy, I think this is perfectly portrayed in the movie. For example, Riley remembers a time on their trip where her father forgot to put the car in park and it rolled down the hill, at first she thought it was such a funny memory, but as she thought of it more she became sad because of how mad her father was about the

There are many ways to determine the meaning of happiness, the most important being the presence of sadness. Over the course of time, sadness has gotten a bad reputation in a sense that if someone if feeling sad, they must be weak or depressed. Truly understanding people have learned that when life gets difficult, one must handle their mental state in a healthy way and seek help or an outlet. The people who are unaware of this, may later become obsessed with a happier past time, and live the present in wistful manner.

It is a rarity that I will change my mind regarding a movie, but this is one of those times. Disney/Pixar’s “Inside Out” was not only entertaining, but challenged the way that I look at emotions. It’s the kind of film that will stay with you even after you’ve left the theatre, and in doing so will spark you to recall memories from your own childhood. It avoids clichés that most animated films fall into, which makes it feel completely new and refreshing. The material is also accessible to everyone given its main content. Young Riley, our 11 year old heroine, is uprooted from her happy life in the Midwest to the bustling city of San Francisco. Her father has taken a new job, and must relocate the family. Riley, like most everyone, is guided specifically by her emotions which take place in the “control center” of her mind. Riley and her emotions, Joy, Fear, Anger, Disgust, and Sadness struggle to navigate through a new home, new school, and new friends. The conflict comes when Sadness wants to play a bigger role in Riley’s life, but is constantly pushed to the side by Joy. Joy, voiced perfectly by the very talented Amy Poehler, is a yellow, almost fairy-like character reminiscent of a more mature Tinkerbell. Sadness (Phyllis Smith) is recessive, soft-spoken, and, as one would imagine, blue. Fear is voiced by the extremely versatile actor, Bill Hader. He is a lanky, purple, almost bug-eyed character whose body could almost be described as a question mark. Fear, of course, tends

On the outside, Riley, the movie's main character, is a typical 11 year old. Unfortunately uprooted from her home in Minnesota to live in San Francisco for her father's job, Riley has a tough transition into the new town, sports and school. Usually a happy girl, Riley begins to argue at the dinner table and fails to get onto the hockey team, leading her deeper into an unhappy state of mind. Although all of these events happen to her, like most people, Riley is guided by her emotions. There are joy, anger, fear, sadness and disgust. These emotions are located in Riley's mind, and we as the audience are able to see them physically. Throughout the movie, they help her with her everyday life and decision making process.

Pixar’s Inside Out is an interesting take on how our emotions work as well as how our brains operate. The story starts off with a narration by Joy, voiced by Amy Poehler, explaining how her job works, and how she and the other emotions came to be inside the mind of young Riley Anderson. The emotions watch and guide Riley by influencing how she reacts to different daily situations. The only thing the emotions are not prepared for however, is an unexpected move from Minnesota to San Francisco (Inside Out). This hilarious take at how our brains work allows Inside Out to create an entertaining and engaging movie using character interaction and its deeper emotional and psychological meanings.

Had I watched this Inside Out at different points over the semester, I would have been able to find different flaws each time. This movie is supposed to be about Riley, but it turns out to be centered around the journey that Joy and Sadness must take in order to return to headquarters, more specifically, it validates sadness as an emotion. Sadness spent her first eleven years with Riley being told to stay back and not to screw anything up, in reality, sadness is often frowned upon, because for some people, they are the opposite of Riley’s character. This movie shows that the happiest of children can go through life changing struggles and embrace their other emotions. You cannot appreciate being happy unless you have known being sad, this movie brings attention to the necessity of a balance in life.
