Pixar's Inside Out

[tzarinna]

I think the movie made more of an impression on my son than I thought. He's been running around saying "I would die for mommy!".

 

[Voltron]

Ok I just saw this and overall I thought it was good. If I hadn't seen Herman's Head then I'd be impressed with the inside the head concept. I thought the first half was tolerable, but the pay off in the second half was far the best. I cried at that character.

I love how they show that you need all those emotions to function properly. And that it's ok for one emotion to take over at times, but not for too long since we saw what too much anger and sadness can lead to.

Sure, pretend it was the movie and not you whispering it to him as he sleeps.

All in all, it's a movie about growing up. I think, as cynical or "I don't give a ****" as some of us may act nowadays, we all had that imaginary friend, that time we recall the floor was made of lava, etc. We just don't like to admit it.

In my household, instead of escaping lava, my siblings and I pretended to be Kevin Bacon avoiding Tremors.

I love how this film is a direct criticism to the way many people, often times not consciously, demand that their kids be smiling and happy all of the time. I don't have children myself but I am often disturbed by how much my close relatives treat their children like dolls. One of my cousins has twin girls, now 4 that are continually prodded to essentially perform and be adorable with little consideration of them as people, much less separate individuals.

Thank you yeah I get that too. I love the idea that it's ok to be sad and it's not up to you to be happy all the time. As long as you are occasionally joyful and the other emotions that's healthy

 

[MadVillainy]

REally enjoyed it.

Not much to complain about. Personally I still liked Monster's University better, but that's no slight to this at all.

Voice acting was perfect. The writing was great.

[BLACKOUT]When Bing Bong died,[/BLACKOUT] I actually teared up a lot. [BLACKOUT]Same with Riley reuniting with her parents at the end.[/BLACKOUT]

I really hope they make a sequel to this. I would love to see all the emotions through the puberty years like they teased.

Pixar has returned to form. This was their best film since Toy Story 3 came out five years ago. For me, it didn't reach the greatness of the Toy Story movies, Up, or The Incredibles, but it's definitely one of their better films. The cast was great. Bill Hader's Fear and Lewis Black's Anger were standouts to me. I teared up a bit when [BLACKOUT]Bing Bong faded away, and I was actually surprised that they didn't bring him back in some form by the end.[/BLACKOUT] This should be an easy shoe-in for Best Animated Feature at the Oscars.

first movie in a very long time where I wanted to walk right into another screening right after I finished the first viewing

It's great commentary in saying you need all these emotions to function. What's great about the film was as first I was with Joy in not letting Sadness affect Riley, because no-one likes to be sad, but it became clear as the film went on that Joy was over doing not letting Sadness do her job and, if anything, was making things worse for Riley because she wasn't allowing her catharsis. The look on Riley's parents face when she finally breaks down in tears said it all, it almost like the first time they'd seen their daughter upset.

Anger was my favorite emotion.

Anger was my favorite emotion.

Am I the only one who teared up from the moment Joy gave Sadness the core memories. I completely lost it there.

I'm a naturally very happy, optimistic person, but my outlet for experiencing sadness on an occasional basis is voluntarily listening to sad music or watching sad movies. People look at me weird when I tell them I enjoy it, but you really need to experience it sometimes. It's very cathartic.

The [BLACKOUT]chewing gum jingle[/BLACKOUT] was such a great running gag.

 

[CB Fan]

I really liked it! It's not quite up there with Pixars best but it's definitely better than some of their more recent films (though I did like MU and Brave was alright).

I liked that it teaches that there are appropriate times for each emotion and that they shouldn't be suppressed but worked through until you get back to joy.

yeah, it actually made me laugh every time...

i really liked t[BLACKOUT]he "abstract" construction sequence, it was well animated and very creative[/BLACKOUT]

This is probably in my top 5 Pixar films now.

Incredibles
Toy Story 3
Up
Inside Out
Ratatouille

Inside Out and Up are basically battling for third place.

Oh it has as good as won it. The bigger question would be if there is enough ammo for a Best Picture nomination.

We already have another critically acclaimed blockbuster this year that people are saying should get a Best Picture nomination (Mad Max).

 

[MadVillainy]

Inside Out will get nominated for BP before Mad Max.

People who want/think Mad Max will be nominated are the same type who think Emily Blunt shouldve been nominated for Edge of Tomorrow and The WInter Soldier shouldved been nominated for BP.

 

[Quasimod0]

Mad Max was very good, but it wasn't best picture material, imo. The story was fairly simple, and the acting was fine for what lines they had to say, of which there weren't many.

Those were just fool-hardy causes with no real critical heat.

Mad Max is a different beast. Mad Max has genuine critical support. I think it will actually do very well in the year critics polls and stuff, many Top 10 mentions.

I also think it will get a truckload of nominations in the tech categories. And it is even perhaps a play for Best Director which will help its Best Picture chances.
