In the movie Inside Out, emotions are depicted as
unique characters, as personified beings, living
inside Riley. As a viewer, we can see the visuals
of the inner struggles of our emotions, as we get
affected in our daily lives, and within our
relationships.

1. The film shows that memories are not just
memories, perspectives are not always objective.
These are dependent and directed by our moods and
emotions. Certain emotions can bring back
memories, and certain memories can make us
experience emotions. Thus, memories play a vital
role in our personality development.

2. Riley has always been given a message from her
mother - to be always happy. Thus, we also see
how Joy tries to control every other emotion in
order to fulfill the goal of being "happy", to
the extent of molding every decision based on one
emotion. But only when sadness and anger surface,
Riley is able to reflect on what will bring her
contentment and meaning. Research suggests that
making happiness your life goal only adds to the
misery.

3. There is a lack of acceptance of all emotions
considered as negative. The movie helps bring the
significance and experience of all emotions. We
see how sadness helps us get through a difficult
situation instead of imposing Joy. Research
suggests that People who can experience ALL
emotions have better mental health.
It helps us judge ourselves a little less. It is
also true, that inside and outside are linked,
affecting one another. However, the next step is
to think about how to best channelise our
emotions such as sadness and anger that life is
made more fulfilling, and enriching.
