Movie Review:
Inside Out
Inside Out may look like a normal family movie aimed towards the children but it's not. Directed by Pete Docter,the movie is about the idea of someone in our mind making our important decisions in life. The central characters, Joy, Sadness, Anger, Disgust, and Fear, are the ones responsible for controlling Riley, an 11- year old girl that recently moved from Minnesota to new york City. Overwhelmed by culture shock, it is up to the emotions to handle Riley's life while she is in a shocking state.
In my opinion, the most significant aspect of the material is...
In my book, the most significant aspect of the movie is how it shows that the choices we always think that will solve our problems are not always the best decision. As seen in the movie, we can perceive that the main character Joy is an optimistic dictator that has the idea of happiness can cure anything. She always wants anything to be done in her own ways as she tries her best to distance Sadness from a control panel-like table to prevent Riley from being sad. In the end, she begins to realize that not all problems can be solved with happiness. As she learns that Sadness plays a crucial part of helping Riley in a way, she is finally open to the possibility that a problem can be solved significantly when other options are considered.
In a way, she represents most of us who are hard-headed in doing things our own way. We always have the feeling that we have the best solution to any problems faced, thus clouding ourselves from other possibilities that may be better that our own. We often fear that doing things not in the way we are used to will result in failure. What the movie has taught me is that we must lower our ego to open our eyes and mind to what might be the best solution all along. As seen in the scene where Joy allows Sadness to intervene on the control panel in order to prevent Riley from running away from home, the intervention of other techniques rather than the usual routine can significantly produce the best solution.

All in all, Inside Out is an amazing family movie that can be enjoyed by children and adults alike. Pixar has really outdone themselves in making this movie and worthy of the awards it received in early 2016.
