Movie Review: Inside Out

What's up, guys !!!!! Hope that all of you are in a fine condition. So for today movie review, it will be the movie that I 've waited for a long time. A movie that is playing with the emotions. Inside Out is an animation movie from Pixar which depicts the story of a girl, Riley who have mixing emotions as she grew older. The story starts with the appearances of  Riley's emotions :Fear, Anger, Joy, Disgust and Sadness. They work together in a special room which is called Headquarters inside her mind to control all of her feelings. She has five happy core memories that build up her personalities and everything was changed when her family decided to move to San Francisco.


Fun Fact: The producer collaborated with the professor of Psychology at UC Berkeley, Datcher Keltner to revise the story from the point of  view of a psychologist

 Things become worse when Sadness accidentally touch the happy memories which will turn the memories into sad memories. So, to prevent things become worse Joy had to isolate Sadness from their workplace. Unfortunately, they cannot stop Sadness from coming near the core memories place and guess what happen? Yes, Sadness touched the core memories and made it fall from its original place and eventually caused the core memories to be sucked out of the Headquarters to the long term memory storage area. 

To make things become normal again Joy and Sadness need to bring back the core memories to the Headquarters.At the storage area they met Bing Bong, Riley's imaginary friend which will help them to find their way to bring back the core memories to the Headquarters. A lot of challenges faced by three of them in their journey to the Headquarters. 

THREE INTERESTING WORDS 

1. Despondent- very sad and without hope
Mr. and Mrs. Andersen had never seen Riley so despondent since they move to San Francisco because it had made Riley to leave all of her friends and her hobby in Minessota and this made them felt guilty towards the behavior development of their daughter.

2. Ambivalent- simultaneous and contradictory attitudes or feelings toward an object, person, or action.
Riley is in the state of ambivalence when she chooses to run away from San Francisco to go back to Minessota because she does not sure whether the action she takes will bring her to a positive side or a negative side.

3. Apathetic- not having or showing much emotion or interest
Jill Andersen felt annoyed when she talks to her husband because he will become apathetic towards everything except sports which is the topic that is rarely being talk over in family discussion.


One lesson I learned from the material is we need to accept others weaknesses and strengthness. This is because we are complement with each other. For example, when Joy tried to isolate Sadness from the workplace, it shows that Joy cannot accept Sadness personality. So, when both of them are needed to bring back the core memories to the Headquarters, Joy finally realises that Sadness is important too in developing Riley's character. Previously, Joy thought that happy is the only feeling that will help to build up Riley's character and Joy should not be selfish by preventing Sadness to work with other emotion to control Riley's action.

THANKS FOR READING AND LEARNING
