An emotional roller-coaster

Rating: 10/10 (2 November 2016)

This film hit home hard. In its exploration of the human mind through a coming of age story, Inside Out explores how our personalities form as we age. This is truly an emotional tale. I was choking back tears all throughout. This film really touched me on a personal level. Each emotion is portrayed as its own entity that has control over the person whose mind they reside in. They each help produce memories associated with each emotion. From this film we learn that each emotion is essential to have and experience and each plays its own significant role. We learn particularly the importance of sadness. Sadness, although an emotion we tend to resent, is a very important emotion. Experiencing pain and sadness is important in growth. When we experience a crisis, our lives turn upside down. But it is during times like these that we experience the most growth. At the end Riley's core memories change and her new memories have mixed instead of single emotions. This expresses Riley's emotional growth. Thus, this coming of age story is one of emotional growth and personality development that we can all relate to. It's something new from Disney and Pixar and I love it.
