Inside Out: An Analysis Of Interpersonal Communication Concepts

There are many ways to determine the meaning of happiness, the most important being the presence of sadness. Over the course of time, sadness has gotten a bad reputation in a sense that if someone if feeling sad, they must be weak or depressed. Truly understanding people have learned that when life gets difficult, one must handle their mental state in a healthy way and seek help or an outlet. The people who are unaware of this, may later become obsessed with a happier past time, and live the present in wistful manner. The movie Inside Out, by Disney Pixar Animation, deals with an 11-year-old girl named Riley, and her five emotions, during a rough change in her life. Through the character of Riley, and her emotion in command, Joy, we see how

The theory of emotion that is displayed in Inside Out is the Two-Factor theory. When Riley has a physiological arousal, it is cognitively labeled. One example is when Riley was getting fed the broccoli, her physiological response was screaming and crying, and it was cognitively labelled as disgust. It is the two factor theory because screaming and crying could also be the physiological response for fear.

time and hadn’t quite made it to acceptance…It seemed like there was faulty wiring in the system because now she was reverting to anger” (Moore 76). Joys thought process here represents her grip on reality.

While Joy and Sadness attempt to make it back to headquarters, they are near a large pit in Riley's brain. Here memories go and disappear. This represents Riley forgetting events in her life that are not very important to her

On the outside, Riley, the movie's main character, is a typical 11 year old. Unfortunately uprooted from her home in Minnesota to live in San Francisco for her father's job, Riley has a tough transition into the new town, sports and school. Usually a happy girl, Riley begins to argue at the dinner table and fails to get onto the hockey team, leading her deeper into an unhappy state of mind. Although all of these events happen to her, like most people, Riley is guided by her emotions. There are joy, anger, fear, sadness and disgust. These emotions are located in Riley's mind, and we as the audience are able to see them physically. Throughout the movie, they help her with her everyday life and decision making process.

The concept of acceptance of others was definitely present throughout the entire film, however the full effect and realisation of this concept didn’t come into play till towards the end of movie when I felt personally, a realisation sensation stuck. In the beginning of the film we are introduced to the characters who represent Riley 's emotions. Although each are responsible for certain areas of Riley in particular, it is strongly apparent that the emotion “Joy” is the ringleader within the group, and takes pride in being so. Joy however is a character that contradicts another one of the emotions - Sadness, as you would expect.

Pixar’s Inside Out is an interesting take on how our emotions work as well as how our brains operate. The story starts off with a narration by Joy, voiced by Amy Poehler, explaining how her job works, and how she and the other emotions came to be inside the mind of young Riley Anderson. The emotions watch and guide Riley by influencing how she reacts to different daily situations. The only thing the emotions are not prepared for however, is an unexpected move from Minnesota to San Francisco (Inside Out). This hilarious take at how our brains work allows Inside Out to create an entertaining and engaging movie using character interaction and its deeper emotional and psychological meanings.

Comparatively, another scene where it was evident that every emotion has a purpose is when Sadness and Joy finally returned to headquarters together. Sadness is the only one who can get the idea of running away out of Riley’s head. If she couldn’t feel eternal sadness within her own mind about leaving then she most likely would not have been able to realize the error in her ways and return home. The scene emphasized the importance of emotions as she would have been numb to the whole situation had it not been for her true feelings of sadness to

Inside Out is the story of a young girl, Riley, who is forced to work through her emotions when she leaves her old life in Minnesota for a new start in San Francisco. Riley 's Emotions are portrayed as little people inside her head and there are five of them: Joy, Sadness, Anger, Fear, and Disgust. Three theories that have been discussed in class and that are present in the movie Inside Out are the Memory Consolidation theory, Wish-Fulfillment theory, and the Creativity theory. Another theory, that was not talked about in class, but is present in the movie is the Cognitive Appraisal theory. A more suitable theory for inclusion in the movie would have been the James-Lange theory of emotion. This theory would have helped clear up some of Riley’s more confusing memories showing emotion.

The film Inside Out tells the story of a young girl named Riley and her changing emotions after she is forced to move from her home town in Minnesota to San Fransico for her father’s job. The story is told from the perspective of her five emotions. Riley’s emotions are led by Joy, who attempts to guide her through the stressful event. Although Joy puts forth great effort, Sadness takes over. When trying to protect Riley’s core memories from Sadness, Joy is swept from headquarters through the dump tube and Sadness follows. With Joy and Sadness gone, Anger, Fear, and Disgust are the only emotions left in headquarters; therefore, Riley cannot be happy or sad. Because Joy and Sadness are absent, Riley’s personality islands diminish one by one. Riley fights with her family, pushes away from her friends back home, and loses interest in hockey. As Joy and Sadness navigate through Riley’s brain in search of a way back to headquarters, they encounter many obsticles. Back in headquarters, Anger, Fear, and Disgust place the idea of running away into Riley’s head. Joy witnesses the transformation of a sad memory into a happy memory, and finally realizes the importance of all emotions, including Sadness. With the help of Bing Bong, Riley’s imaginary friend, Joy and Sadness find their way back to headquarters and are able to stop Riley from running away. An update in headquarters takes place, and more personality islands develop. Joy learns to accept the

Inside Out is a popular children’s movie about an eleven-year-old girl, Riley, and the emotions in her brain. These emotions are personified as Joy, Anger, Disgust, Fear, and Sadness and they control everything Riley does in “headquarters” (Inside Out). It is quite clear that the filmmakers did their research because, overall, it is accurate even if it is a kid’s movie. The movie does have a few inaccuracies, but accurately portrays mood-congruent memory, long-term and short-term memory with automatic processing, and how a person’s personality is shaped with the help of flashbulb memory.

The film Inside Out (2015) produced and directed by Pixar Animation Studios and Walt Disney Pictures, is a movie based on the emotions of a 11-year-old girl called Riley. The film’s principal characters are five emotions located in Riley’s brain. These emotions are Joy, Sadness, Disgust, Fear, and Anger. All of them work together inside Riley’s mind to accomplish one goal: Her Happiness. Everything revolves around Riley because she is facing a hard move with her family from Minnesota to San Francisco, leading to big changes around his life, attitude, and behavior. Most of the movie is set inside Riley’s mind, where the emotions operate her brain’s control center. The film explains that our brain has functions that control our responses to certain situations, and the ways that we handle these situations are controlled by our emotions. Also, it explains that our personalities and identities are defined by certain emotions, which shape how we handle and express to specific situations. The decisions and actions that the emotions choose to do in Riley’s life will drive the plot. Inside Out (2015) will not only explain through its colors, lighting, and camera shots the storyline of the movie, but also the importance of emotions and how they play a big role in our lives.

These emotions are important for children to learn about and be aware of especially when getting older and growing into the tween years. One of the two things I took away from this movie was that you could have more than one emotion attached to a memory. It isn’t a very hard concept to teach children but it’s more or less something that hasn’t been acknowledged on another TV show or movie. Another thing I took away from this movie is that all of your emotions play a role an important role in representing who you are for example, Riley is run by Joy, her mother is run by sadness and her father is run by anger. This could mean that Riley is inherently happy person who normally reacts with a positive out look on life, this could also mean that her mother comes off a little more reserved and some what sad and her father a little more aggressive or short tempered, this enables each person to have their own personality. I feel the biggest lesson children can take away from this movie is the idea that you are allowed to feel whatever emotion you are feeling and that is okay. You shouldn’t feel like you have to force down your emotions to make things easier for yourself and others around you, feel what you are feeling mindfully and then move

After that Sadness destroy also Riley’s islands memory. The headquarter room where they work in it crushed down because of Sadness mistake, then Joy and Sadness get inside Riley’s long memory and they cannot control Riley’s feelings and emotions because they do not in headquarters room especially Joy didn't there, she is the main emotional character in headquarters room as Joy knows how to controls Riley’s mood. And because of what was happening Riley’s behavior is getting so weird because Joy was not there in headquarters. And now fear, disgust and anger are the controllers in headquarters room so they cannot be like Joy each one of them have own emotion they can't exchange their emotions, hence in this moment when Joy is missing they have to pretend to be Joy they are trying so hard to make Riley happy. Joy and Sadness are trying to find the nearest way back and the only way is the islands but all islands are crushed down gradually. Joy on her way back she meets Bing Bong is the imaginary best friend to Riley, they are best friends and so much, so Joy take the chance and she asked Bing Bong to guide her to reach there. They are tried to across many dangerous ways to reach the train that get them back, during this time Riley is crushing

In the Disney film “Inside Out,” Joy is the protagonist out of the five. emotions in the mind of Riley Anderson. She acts just as her name is- she strives to remain joyful and is always positive regardless of the situation. Joy does not ever want Riley sad, even when it is needed sometimes and because of this, she is the least flexible and most controlling of all five emotion characters: Sadness, Fear, Disgust, Anger, and herself, Joy.
