Entry #10 Inside Out
I watched the movie Inside Out at the weekend and moreover enjoyed the script and characteristic inventiveness of the movie. I was struck by the emotional depth of a film whose primary audience is young kids. Life would be dull if our emotions were horizontal. We’d lack passion and zest. The wide range of emotions we encounter play a role in our human encounter and essence our personality, mood, behavior and motivation. Yes, emotions can be raw, messy and visceral, but they can additionally be profound, beautiful, and comforting. They all add dimension and flavor. Disgust in the role of acceptable social behaviors has the potential to be very important. If we teach our children there are certain values that are important, and morals to follow, they have the potential to be offended (disgusted) when behaviors opposite to their values are displayed. It may keep them from getting involved in substance abuse, risk taking actions and becoming sexually active. If disgust helps them to live up to the expectations they know are important, then it plays a very positive role with the voices inside their heads.
Hi Wahida, Inside Out is an amazing film. I've had the chance to watch it when a little bit ago and it truly is a deep story. The way Pixar can take their watchers into deep waters with very sensitive subjects but make them friendly enough to appeal to the average child is quite amazing. Disney and Pixar never fail to make a film that will completely grasp you and leave you satisfied. Nice Post and keep up the good work.
