Depth and Control.

Rating: 10/10 (3 June 2016)

Inside out is an excellent movie, which isn't like many others. The movie features great examples of the impact emotions have on the youth. Certain scenes seemed so simple yet it had a deep meaning. The moment with Riley on the bus, where she realizes she's making a mistake, gives a deep feeling of acting in moments of anger and doing things without thinking and later regretting it, which goes along with fear. Also, the colors correlate with how the movie makes you feel. When sadness touched the memories and things went wrong, the colors changed from light and bright, to icy, blue, dark.
Furthermore,Riley was pretty relatable. there were things that remind people of what their childhood was like. The scene with Riley being sad over happy memories, wanting to go back to the happy place, feeling sad when you miss things, those feelings hit really close to home.
When you observe the emotions, you seem to realize sadness connects to some aspects of depression and fear connects to anxiety. People who grew up with negative mental development can see that Riley might have those two things. The way anger reacts without thinking shows how Riley can have an issue with impulse control. Joy having her hopes up and being let down shows how Riley begins to have lower expectations later on.
I recommend this movie to people who understand these problems and have dealt with them. The point of the movie seems to be presenting feelings and dealing with growing up. The character development shows that Riley understands her feelings later on and works on controlling them.
The parents' short seconds of inside of their heads shows that they knew how to control their emotions, they didn't seem to have the same issues as Riley considering they are adults. It seems that Riley is experiencing maturity and learning to be controlling of herself, which is part of growing up and learning to make the right choices. She hasn't made perfect decisions but she later learned from her mistakes.
Other than the subject of maturity and learning, Riley also seems to see what it's like to be in a new place you don't want to be. She moved to a new city with a new house and she had a hard time adjusting. Adjustment problems seem to run with not trying to adjust, but only thinking about what you want and what you had. Seeing this, its telling you to learn to adjust to new things, the past is in the past.
My favorite part was the childhood scenes. She still has some things from when she was younger in her head, like the imaginary friend. It shows that when you get older, some things can go further away in your mind, but they will always be a part of you.
Aside from what is negative and positive, the end of the movie shows Riley coming across a boy who seems to like her, which was some comic relief after all the dramatic events occurred.
This movie is a great example of showing mind development, control, and depth. You see Riley change for the better over time, you see Riley learning to control her feelings, and you see Riley learning to understand instead of just reacting. 10/10.
