Emotions In The Film 'Inside Out'

Everyone experiences emotions. The Film Inside out directed by Pete Docter portrays the ways in which emotions can affect our thoughts, actions, and experiences. Emotions are the lens through which we view the world, and it is through these lenses of emotion that we view our experiences, both present and in memory. Our memories though are not necessarily always seen in the same light that they were when originally experienced, instead they are recolored by our current mood. Emotions due to being such a central element in how our individual worlds are perceived are important to be in harmony with one another. In the film Inside Out the director, Pete Docter develops the idea that emotions color our thoughts and experiences.

Emotions alter our current views and perspectives. In the film speak during various scenes, five emotions Joy, Sadness, Anger, Fear, and Disgust are seen altering and influencing the actions of the main character, Riley. A time during the film when this is demonstrated is the scene in which anger takes control and causes Riley to snap at her parents.
