Inside Out

Období dospívání může být velice komplikované, a Riley, která je vytržena ze svého starého života na americkém Středozápadu poté, co se její otec musí kvůli novému zaměstnání přestěhovat do San Francisca, není žádnou výjimkou. Stejně jako my všichni, i Riley je ovládána svými emocemi – Radostí, Strachem, Hněvem, Znechucením a Smutkem. Emoce žijí v Řídícím centru, centrále uvnitř Rileyiny mysli, odkud jí pomáhají vypořádat se s nástrahami všedních dní. Jak se Riley se svými emocemi společně pokoušejí vyrovnat s problémy nových začátků v San Franciscu, propuká v Řídícím centru zmatek. Ačkoliv se Radost, Rileyina hlavní a nejdůležitější emoce, pokouší zachovat všem pozitivní myšlení, objevují se mezi jednotlivými emocemi neshody v tom, jak se co nejlépe vypořádat s novým městem, domovem a školou.
The first time I watched this movie at age 16, I thought it was perfect because I had also moved to a new country so it was relatable and my parents also loved the movie. Rewatching this again 9 years later as an adult, the movie is still good but not great. The plot of Riley moving to a new place is a good opportunity for storytelling but they only focus on the very early days of adjusting and don’t show any lingering after effects it could have. Something also feels very off as the audience is not really sure how much autonomy Riley really has when the emotions inside her have immense control and are having their own separate journey. I feel like there was so much potential to explore and teach more about the inner workings of the human mind. But I won’t complain too much, I still think for a kid’s movie they did a really good job to make the movie entertaining while depicting fun portrayals of the different aspects of a person. Bing Bong is also a very endearing character, loved his addition. I nearly shed a tear when the goofy island broke down. The comedy is also decent. I like the fact that this is one of those kids movies that you can watch with your parents who really appreciate and understand the themes and spark topics of conversation. I’ll be watching the sequel soon and I’m really hoping that this time around the story and lessons are much more complex and treated with special care for the deeper meanings and nuances because it’s 2024 and people are now way more educated about human psychology.
