Insights From the Movie Inside Out -By Betterlyf
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.
