From a Christian perspective, a question raised by this movie could be whether our minds control us, or whether we control our minds. I have often thought of the human mind as a complicated system, and having studied Computer Science, I tend to think of the mind in computerized terms, and this movie personifies the different parts.
I do not think of myself as a very emotional person, in the sense of outward expression, but I do tend to be introspective and philosophical, and this movie is easy for me to relate to. The amount of variance in scenery is also impressive. It has been said that some people have a world inside their head, and, in this movie, it is quite literal, giving the movie an adventurous feel. In typical Pixar fashion, there are lots of nutty situations, but, as usual, they have done it tastefully without overly silly antics.
You just need to sit back and be amused by the clever, intriguing depictions of how Riley’s mind works, instead of asking when the next big event is coming. Can the different emotions work together? Or is there a dominant emotion that will prevail? Shortly after the movie opens, Riley’s family moves from Minnesota to San Francisco, and she feels very uncomfortable with her new setting, leaving each emotion in a fight for control. We meet Joy ( Amy Poehler), Sadness (Phyllis Smith), Anger (Lewis Black), Disgust (Mindy Kaling), and other characters who play various roles in Riley’s mind, which is a very complex place with many locations representing elements of her memory and lifestyle. An eleven year-old girl named Riley (Kaitlyn Dias) has personified emotions inside her head who react to situations in her life and have control panels to make her express various feelings. “Inside Out” is a movie that shows us a character from the inside out.
