An introduction of general psychology

Rating: 5/10 (9 July 2015)

As a big fan of cartoon movies, and a loyalty fan of Pixar, I usually don't have very high expectation of cartoon as opposed to other movies as long as it makes sense, tells a story, and maybe have some fun and make us think about life or sort of things. I feel very disappointed about this particular Pixar movie because a lot of parts didn't make sense to me--who have 2 degrees in psychology major.
The concept was so good, but very complicated. My brain kept running thinking about how each element in Riley's brain interacts with each other and outside world, and what their behaviors mean and I did find a lot of stuff didn't make sense to me. For example, when one personality collapsed, why it would bring down the thought of train as well? Why Riley's imagined boyfriend got duplicated and what did it even mean in a real human brain? It may be just too complicated to start with, so the movie ended with still confusing psychological terms and no real story except Riley left hometown, trying to be joyful but actually very sad (joy tries to take charge while sad cannot help stepping out).
Besides that, this movie doesn't have much fun and in fact is quite sad towards the end. It didn't make me think about life or anything except psychology theories. I am not sure whether kids would get any fun or learn anything from this movie and whether adults can enjoy. The little Pixar fan person in my mind was trying to take charge and let me love this movie, but the little real movie judge made the final call if you understand what I mean by that.
Additional note, I think the female volcano is very creepy, and I don't like it either.
