We are strangers to ourselves, and in particular we are strangers to our own mind. We have all these emotions, but very often we have no idea how they work or why we feel them. The movie is inspired by Paul Ekman’s studies on how emotions are expressed across different cultures. This psychologist determined that, regardless of their upbringing, humans possess a standard set of facial expressions for six or seven emotions. The filmmakers turned five of the emotions on Ekman's list into animated characters. Two others—surprise and contempt—were left out of the script for simplicity.
Kids in their pre-teens and early teens often experience a sharp drop in happiness and a sudden rise in anxiety. Inside Out shows Riley dealing with that shift. The film also shows how the parents deal with it. They accept her change maybe because, as parents, they are aware that children must eventually go through that variable phase. All in all, this film reveals how important it is to get a better understanding of our brain. In fact, learning how our own emotions work would be a dream come true for adolescents and their parents—and for neuroscientists as well.
