If you have not seen the movie yet, and do not mind that this included spoilers, then definitely go and see “Inside Out”. Also, I thought it was really cool to visually see the information I just learned put onto the big screen and explained in such a simplistic way. It is nice to know that Pixar did such a great job at researching the field of Psychology and made a meaningful movie that will teach kids and, in some cases, adults about emotions and memories. I was so moved by this movie and I am so glad that I saw it. Because Riley is being controlled by a negative emotion of anger, her resulting outcome is a negative one and she goes to run away. This part reminded me of the readings from Chapter 13, “How Emotions Affect Decisions”.
At some point, Anger is left at the controls and he begins to control Riley’s decision to run away from home. In this part of the movie, Riley’s Joy and Sadness emotions have been lost and all the only emotions left are Fear, Anger, and Disgust. Her five “power islands” were all memorable events that were significant and important to Riley and she was able to pull in her experiences as she came into a new life.Īnother topic of the movie that I found most compelling was the point when Riley decides to run away from home. For instance, “hockey island” is created from the memory of her winning the championship game and “goof-ball island” is taken from the memory of her goofing around with her dad. Riley’s “power islands” are the part of her memory that seemed to be drawn from the most emotion filled times in Riley’s young life. This reminded me of the information regarding “Memory for ‘Exceptional’ Events portion of Chapter 8 and how “a characteristic of most memorable events is that they are significant and important to the person and, in many cases, are associated with emotions” (Goldstein, p.
In the movie there are five “power islands” that reflect the main memories of Riley’s subconscious. It then moves through how each of these emotions impact the memories and help to shape a person’s life.Īs I watched the movie, it made me think of the recent lessons we had on memory, but more specifically what we learned in Chapter 8 about memory and emotion. As outlined by the article from the NPR interview, “Much of the film is spent inside Riley’s mind, which features a control center manned by five personified emotions: Joy, Sadness, Fear, Anger and Disgust”. While I am certainly not as much of an expert on the topic, I can say that based on what I have learned in the class, the movie gets most of the memory and emotion aspects correct. The movie, Inside Out, is great and it focuses on the emotions and memory of a young girl named Riley. So after the discussion, I felt that I had to see the movie since I am right in the middle of learning all about Cognitive Psychology. As it happens two of my other cousins also saw it and thought the same thing. My uncle and aunt had taken their grandson to see the movie and they ended up absolutely loving it.
I recently had a discussion with some family members during dinner about a recent movie released by Pixar called “Inside Out”. For story purposes, Docter needed simplicity five, he says, was “just enough for dissension and entertainment.”Įkman applauds the movie for teaching kids and parents alike about emotion-that understanding, he says, allows us to “choose what we feel, rather than being controlled by our emotions.” Then again, if we could choose what we feel, we wouldn't cry so much during Pixar movies.FYI: This blog contains some movie spoilers!

According to Ekman, who has had a long and sometimes controversial career, there are seven emotions with universal facial signals-those that ended up in the movie, plus contempt and surprise. (Schadenfreude was an early contender.) Turns out there's no consensus on how many emotions there actually are-so director Pete Docter and his team turned to an expert they'd worked with before.Įarly in the movie's five-year production, Docter invited psychologist Paul Ekman to brief the crew on the nature of emotions. But while casting was a breeze, picking the emotions wasn't. The central players of Inside Out, hitting theaters today, are emotions-Joy, Fear, Sadness, Anger, and Disgust-inhabiting a young girl's mind and brought to life by a murderer's row of voice talent like Amy Poehler and Bill Hader. In the studio's latest movie, though, the main characters aren't even physical beings. Monsters, toys, cars-Pixar's protagonists are often nonhuman.
