Movie Review of "Inside Out"
Fear, Sadness, Disgust, Joy and Anger! All emotions we all deal with everyday. The theme of this film was to truly depict what goes on in a child's mind from a toddler to a teenager. Each emotion held their own unique personalities and explained in way children could understand. Starting with the vibrant colors of each emotion. It was clear to distinguish who is who and who's at the operation panel to pan out a day in the mind of Riley. The vibrant colors and tone in the characters voices throughout the film also made it easy to depict what was really going on.
Riley's family is forced to move, and Riley has a difficult time adjusting. I love the dinner table scene where Riley is upset and has an attitude when Joy and Sadness are stuck at the other islands tying to get back to HQ. all of this while the "fun" islands are slowing fading away. In this scene it depicts a real-life scene where a mother and father want to understand what's going on with their daughter and Riley just wasn't having it. Each emotion from Mom, Dad and Riley were at play here and although it was meant as a serious scene it was depicted comically. The writers wanted to show something the audience can relate to and that is captured here for sure!
This film was unique, and I believe that's what was so loved about it. It was a "real" kids movie that both adults and children could relate to.
