Riley Inside Out

Riley describes her victim’s reaction, “She was destroyed. I was one of her best friends and I crushed her.” She did not feel any satisfaction. Riley did not feel stronger putting others down. She was ashamed and knew what she did was wrong but she says, “The thing is that I already hated myself. I hated myself for being bullied in past and I hated myself for being pathetic. I was so insecure and weak that I couldn't hate myself more in order to stop.” Riley would have done anything to be popular, and she was disgusted by this. However, she concedes that she was too scared to give up the yearn for superiority she held since the first time she

In 2015, Disney Pixar released Pete Docter’s movie, Inside Out. The initial release of the movie was a hit in the box office and made a lot of young children and even their parents, thrilled to see. I went to see this movie with my family and I was actually excited about it because the previews were very entertaining. I am not one that typically wastes money to go see an animated film in the movie theater, but this one the one exception. The movie is about an 11-year-old girl, Riley, who moves to San Francisco with her parents from Minnesota, due to her father’s job. The main characters of the movie, however, are not Riley and her parents, but Riley’s primary emotions – Happiness (Joy), Sadness, Fear, Anger, and Disgust. These emotions give us a glimpse into the mindset of a young adolescent girl who is having trouble adjusting to her new surroundings and faking her happiness for her parents. This movie appealed to me because it was so relatable and it had such a deeper messages that takes knowledge and life experience to understand. The emotions that Riley is feeling throughout the movie really made the audience feel connected to her character. The movie exceeded my expectations and made it completely worth going to see. The emotions in the movie were more than just characters; they were a part of the person watching. This movie had the potential to make viewers think about their actions and reactions towards situations in their everyday life. Riley’s

As the film begins, it is clear from the start that the emotions care a great deal for Riley. As the primary emotion, Joy takes it upon herself to be the leader of the group and does everything in her power to make sure every moment of Riley’s day is a happy one. Sadness, voiced by Phyllis Smith, is not sure of her purpose in Riley’s mind, so her fellow emotions attempt to keep her involvement to a minimum, in fear of putting a damper on Riley’s mood. The rest of the emotions, Anger (Lewis Black), Disgust (Mindy Kaling), and Fear (Bill Hader), keep Riley’s life fair, poison free, physically and socially, and safe, respectively (Inside Out). A stand out character who appears is Bing Bong, voiced by Richard Kind, Riley’s imaginary friend from when she was a

The article tell the reader about the pixar movie Inside Out. It talks about the five busy, contentious emotions that controls Riley’s Brain. The five emotions are Fear, Anger, Disgust, Sadness and Joy. With the author describing each emotion he particularly describes Joy. He has described Joy as the boss, and Joy is trying to contain sadness from getting to Riley’s core memories. But as the article continues it talks about how the duty to be cheerful is imposed on children. It’s described as parents trying to cheer these kids up, by saying “Where’s my happy girl.” But parents really do try there hardest no matter to cheer their children up, no

What is the definition of mixed emotions? When you see your mother-in-law backing off a cliff in your new car. Emotions are a natural instinctive state of mind deriving from one’s circumstances, mood, or relationships with others. The main areas involved with emotions are structures that interconnect intensively but none of them are solely responsible for any individual emotional state. The amygdala and hippocampus are two structures responsible for the control of affective activities such as friendship, love, affection, fear, rage, and aggression. When prompted it signal a reaction to fear and anxiety, making the brain get ready for flight or fight. The Hippocampus is known for the configuration of long-term memory, but when the destroyed the retention of memory is inadequate. Riley’s has five of the six primary emotions, sadness which is responsible for connection, for example when we see someone sad we may begin to feel empathetic and want to show some compassion. Disgust keeps Riley safe from being “poisoned” which includes consuming things she does not like such as broccoli. Fear keeps her safe by conceptualizing the worst case scenarios in every possible outcome. Anger protects her from others and thus allowing her to become a better hockey player, Happiness (Joy) ensures that Riley is happy.

In today’s world most of our influence comes from pop culture such as music and movies, while these sources tend to give off negative influences there are a few gems here and there that do the opposite. A recent film that was released in late 2015 changed the game for child’s entertainment; this movie is called “Inside Out”. The thing that makes this movie so special is the unique concept that the writers created, telling a story about human emotions and how they effect our everyday decisions. In this animation the emotions are of those of an 11-year-old girl named Riley, up until this age Riley had lived a life filled with joy until her family chose to move across the country. Everything in her life began to go wrong, being overtaken by sadness.

From intense body changes, such as a growing brain and body, to new and harder expectations at school, middle and late childhood is often a very difficult time for many individuals. In order to understand the effect of many developmental changes during late childhood, I interviewed twelve-year-old Riley. Riley is an up-coming seventh grader at a local middle school and is very active in sports, such as soccer, tennis, and golf. She has an Auditory Processing Disorder, which means that her brain is not fully developed and is not completely attached to her ear; due to this disorder, Riley cannot process information as quickly or as well as her peers. I met Riley through her older sister and a good friend of mine several years ago, and I conducted

Constant glee is often viewed as manic or a mental illness of sorts, so why do we expect children to be well behaved and cheery all the time? This could be because society cannot handle sadness. Is sadness really such a shameless emotion? In a way, Riley’s head is almost a microcosm of society, because in both scenarios Sadness is being pushed into the background or in a circle of sadness. Despite Riley’s distressing life change, Riley must “stay [her parent’s] happy little girl, ” regardless of the pain she goes through.

Riley experience many different mix emotions when she first moved to the new location. Riley tried to cope and regulate her emotions by replacing one feeling with another. When riley was feeling sad, she coped by relying on her memories to uplift her mood. Riley was also extremely self-aware, she was able to recognize her parents distress and intervene. For example, her parents were stressed because the moving company did not bring their belongings in a timely manner. Riley possessed a sense of emotional understanding in regards to her parent’s distress. She intervened and tried to ease the tension in the household by participating in a fun

These emotions are important for children to learn about and be aware of especially when getting older and growing into the tween years. One of the two things I took away from this movie was that you could have more than one emotion attached to a memory. It isn’t a very hard concept to teach children but it’s more or less something that hasn’t been acknowledged on another TV show or movie. Another thing I took away from this movie is that all of your emotions play a role an important role in representing who you are for example, Riley is run by Joy, her mother is run by sadness and her father is run by anger. This could mean that Riley is inherently happy person who normally reacts with a positive out look on life, this could also mean that her mother comes off a little more reserved and some what sad and her father a little more aggressive or short tempered, this enables each person to have their own personality. I feel the biggest lesson children can take away from this movie is the idea that you are allowed to feel whatever emotion you are feeling and that is okay. You shouldn’t feel like you have to force down your emotions to make things easier for yourself and others around you, feel what you are feeling mindfully and then move

Riley was born in Minnesota. Since she was born in Minnesota, she was used to the snow and she loves to play hockey. Riley has five emotions which live in her brain. Headquarters or what we would know as Riley's conscious mind is where all of the emotions live at. The emotions were Joy, Sadness, Disgust, Fear, and Anger. These emotions control or influence Riley's actions and memories by operating on a control console. Riley's new memories are stored on a wall; however all the new memories are sent a bigger storage compartment right before Riley goes to sleep. The most important memories are also called "core" memories. These "core" memories are stored in headquarters. Riley's "core" memories power five "islands" in her mind. All these islands reflect different aspects in Riley's personality and her life. Joy is the dominant emotion within all the five emotions. This is important because people tend to be happy all the time rather than any other emotions. Riley has to maintain in a happy state. Joy and the other emotions did not understand why Sadness is even an important emotion because at the beginning of the movie all the emotions believe Sadness just ruins everything and they believe Sadness's only purpose is to make Riley

Riley is eleven in this movie and what I wonder the most about this movie is how children her age and younger portrayed it. I feel that the younger viewers of this movie could have gone home thinking that this was how their emotions worked also.
