Analysis Of The Movie ' Inside Out '

Growing up and experiencing joy and sadness is inevitable. The producers use these facts to their advantage, providing an 'outlet', or a companion (Maddy and the car) to make the journey

Both texts, the book and the movie were enjoyable as the main themes were relatable to teenagers, this let us as the viewer connect with the characters stories and personalities. However, both texts could be improved. With ‘The Outsiders,’ the story was very jumpy going from a climax straight down to a period of none action, this lead to some of the characters stories feeling like they weren't finished. Also with ‘Edward Scissorhands,’ some of the characters didn't portray their roles well enough so therefore, the casting choices could have been better which would have lead to a better movie overall.

The novel “The Outsiders” written by S.E Hinton, was a fictional story told by a fourteen-year old boy struggling with right and wrong in a society which he believes he doesn’t fit, leaving him an outsider. The book takes place in Tulsa Oklahoma, where Hinton was originally from. In that aspect, the book was for teenagers, about teenagers written by a teenager. The Outsiders was first published in 1967 when she was seventeen then a filmed in 1983 directed by Francis Ford which had millions of views and was “the most recognizable film of the decade.” The book became an immediate hit reaching the best-selling young-adult novel of all times, selling up to 15 million copies.

In 1964, President Lincoln B. Johnson signed the Civil Rights Act, stating all Americans of any race, would be treated equally. In the film, Get Out, the protagonist, Chris Washington (Daniel Kaluuya), undergoes physical, mental, and emotional abuse due to the racial injustice. Initially, he is a very gentle and open-minded person, however, by the time movie comes to an end, he is driven by revenge, killing all the members of the Armitage family, who held him captive and abused him. He had lost so much, he lost his mother, his life and even himself. Although, killing of any kind isn't justified. The Armitage family humiliated and tortured Chris to a point of frustration where he was right to kill them. The Armitage family was wrong to practice racial discrimination and went far beyond segregation to the level of prosecution and psychological harassment.

A persons emotions communicate said persons personality and also determines their state of mind – either ‘unhealthy’ or ‘healthy’. The protagonist, Riley, possesses 5 out of the 6 (the latter being surprise) universal emotions in her mind that were determined by scientist Paul Eckman. Her 5 emotions work together to keep her safe and happy and make her who she is.

"Inside Out", the Disney-Pixar animated film, winner of the Oscar in 2016 for the Best Animated Feature Film, is much more than a fable composed of bizarre colorful characters that populate the head of the young protagonist Riley. Created in collaboration with psychologists and other experts in the function and expression of emotions, the film directed by Pete Docter and Ronnie del Carmen is an essential lesson on how the integration between every emotion - positive and negative - guarantees human beings that range of expressions necessary for their balance and psycho-physical well-being. But what is going on in every child's head, especially in Riley's mind? The original plot of Inside Out features a11-years-old girl named Riley that struggles

Riley begins to go through Erikson’s stage of Identity vs. Role Confusion, as she does not have any friends at school and she is out of touch with her emotions later on in the movie.

Released on June 2015, Inside Out has become one of Pixar’s critically acclaimed films for its creativity in its portrayal of psychology. The film takes a spin on the mind’s functions, by personifying emotions and creating a system that controls Riley’s, an eleven year old girl, brain and behavior. The story revolves around Riley’s life and her five emotions, Joy, Anger, Sadness, Fear, and Disgust that control the “Headquarters” of her brain. The main character is Joy, who takes control in leading Riley’s life to make sure it is filled with happiness and laughter. As Riley grows up, her experiences become orbs of memories that are transported to long-term memory. Core memories are held in headquarters, which are connected to Riley’s islands

The five emotions used in this movie are in fact the 5 of the 6 (the 6th one being surprise) scientifically validated universal emotions. Another concept displayed in this movie includes the conversion of short to long-term memory. When a memory is seen as relevant enough to us, or if the memory has been repeated enough times, the brains messengers, glutamate, and dopamine ensure the long term encoding of that memory. Each night when Riley went to sleep the “headquarters” and then all the memories she makes get sucked up through a vacuum tube and get sent to the long-term memories. While obviously our memories aren’t colored balls the principle is completely sound.

Disney Pixar latest offering ‘Inside out’ (2015) tells the story of 11 years old Riley and how her idyllic and happy life which suddenly changes when she moves to san Francisco with her family. The movie which runs as two connecting stories, one with Riley’s day to day life and the other being Riley’s basic emotions that we see living in her conscious mind. The emotions: joy, Fear, Anger, disgust, and sadness all live in headquarters and play a significant role in Riley’s life, memories and actions. Directed by Peter Doctor, Pixar went above and beyond even their normal level of investment in the depth of the character development and the story to accurately portray how the emotions work within us. Working with psychiatrist, Neuroscientist and psychologists for over 4 years to develop the film which although it was not intended during its conception is hoped

Comparing two mediums of “The Outsiders” with looking at the advantages and disadvantages a decision can be made by which one is better. There are many differences between the book and movie.

We are further able to understand and identify with Sadness because our whole body is in attendance to her animated involvement, putting us in a space where the same thing is happening to us. In the case of Inside Out, the space is inside Riley’s head, and it is built on the shifting psychical landscape of her childhood. Pixar deliberately moves to engage the audience in Riley’s world by avoiding the fact that Inside Out is a film. The film’s narrative treats its artistic external space as though it was being televised, complete with long establishing shots, and in an approach similar to the description of Toy Story (Lassiter, 1995), Riley’s “real” life also features “… a three dimensional, digitally constructed environment … (that) … ultimately gave the animated filmmaker a great deal of flexibility in constructing (the) visual narratives… (T)he ultimate outcome (was) a greater degree of control in colorization, in which every individual element in the digital landscape (could) be fine-tuned in color space. (Brunick & Cutting

Although Riley’s brain is controlled by five emotions, the movie portrays how sadness is the heroic emotion, therefore; with sadness comes the functionality of other emotions.

I think what makes the film distinctive and mesmerizing is that, unlike traditional Pixar films and their heart-wrenching montage, it’s not trying to make the audience feel sadness (think back to films like Bambi and Up). Alternately, it's cornerstone is how influential those feelings can be, and why feeling them is pivotal. It shows us that being sad, or sometimes not being entirely happy, is okay. I sobbed my eyes out watching Inside Out…twice. I wasn't necessarily moved by the character’s sorrow but because it was a film that acknowledged and validated mine. Inside Out doesn't claim to tell a narrative of major substance; it simply depicts what it's like to be a normal person learning to pilot the world. If you find that these qualities from the film are anything less than touching, you may just be inhuman. Joy has the last narration of the movie, undoubtably leaving us with a tremendous cliff-changer,“Riley is about to turn thirteen. What could possibly go
