In the movie Inside Out, emotions are depicted as unique
characters, as personified beings, living inside Riley. As a
viewer, we can see the visuals of the inner struggles of our
emotions, as we get affected in our daily lives, and within our
relationships.
1. The film shows that memories are not just memories,
perspectives are not always objective. These are dependent
and directed by our moods and emotions. Certain emotions
can bring back memories, and certain memories can make us
experience emotions. Thus, memories play a vital role in our
personality development.
2. Riley has always been given a message from her mother -
to be always happy. Thus, we also see how Joy tries to control
every other emotion in order to fulfill the goal of being
"happy", to the extent of molding every decision based on one
emotion. But only when sadness and anger surface, Riley is
able to reflect on what will bring her contentment and
meaning. Research suggests that making happiness your life
goal only adds to the misery.
3. There is a lack of acceptance of all emotions considered as
negative. The movie helps bring the significance and experience
of all emotions. We see how sadness helps us get through a
difficult situation instead of imposing Joy. Research suggests that
People who can experience ALL emotions have better mental
health.
It helps us judge ourselves a little less. It is also true, that
inside and outside are linked, affecting one another.
However, the next step is to think about how to best
channelise our emotions such as sadness and anger that life
is made more fulfilling, and enriching.
