Discovering New Theatrical Emotional Territories

Rating: 10/10 (26 June 2015)

The featured review on this page states that this movie requires a trigger warning. A Pixar movie is so emotionally impacting, that it is stirring up and genuinely pushing people over the edge with emotions. I don't think people realize and appreciate how hard this is to achieve through CGI, so kudos to Pixar for taking the torch into unexplored depths of the cinematic world.
I went into the movie depressed, and came out more depressed. Digging deeper and deeper into the opening 30 minutes of the movie brought me to tears when I looked back at all my memories and how they've crumbled and been shut out over the years, just like what happens to our vulnerable Riley throughout the film. Does that automatically entail a bad review, having a movie stir me up emotionally and breaching facets deeper than I ever could've by myself? Not at all. To see such a low rating over something is essentially ignorance.
What I saw from start to end was a classic Pixar movie unfold, with plenty of beautiful themes to latch onto and make you forget about the harsh ride up to the climax of the movie, and that's all it is, like everything else in life... a ride. Just be ready to feel the need to get off early if you're more sensitive to the content presented, because this is not something we've come to expect from Pixar, but at the same time, it's everything we've evolved and grown to encounter from them eventually.
See it with someone you trust, in case you are overly sensitive. There is no reason to dismiss a beautifully executed film if you can't internally handle it... just know what you're getting into ahead of time, don't expect a happy-go-lucky experience unless you're seeing it drunk or with an ignorant state of mind. The previews were really clear with the direction the movie was taking.
