Inside Out

It must be admitted that most people have no chance to grow up overnight. We may have an epiphany for one thing and understand a truth, but this truth must be proved continuously in a long time before it can finally become a part of growth.

Therefore, chicken soup for the soul is a terrible thing, that is, it transcends the polishing process and directly throws us a so-called "universal" truth, but that truth cannot achieve "I". Some truths and some growth can only be understood after real experience.

This self-growth has always been the main line of Pixar animation.

Of course, this kind of growth is not achieved overnight, so there are so many "general mobilization" in Pixar's animation family. They always go deep into the heart by something that needs to be explored, and then let the hero of the story feel naturally that life should be like this.

As far as "Inside Out" is concerned, to apply chicken soup is to accept your negative emotions and complete yourself.

This should be a very strange thing. Because each of us has been educated in childhood, we should be lively, enthusiastic, cheerful and generous people, as if only this is the right way to open our lives. And how much a child's life needs to live by "correctness". Correct answers to exercises, correct manners and expressions … Therefore, liveliness and cheerfulness become "moral correctness" in character.

Therefore, at the beginning of Inside Out, "happiness" is the dominant factor. She tried to digest every possible negative emotion, and used all kinds of positive examples to make Riley think on the bright side when encountering setbacks. This is an optimistic attitude towards life and pleasant. Sadness, on the other hand, seems to make mistakes all the time. She gets her hands on happy memories, and he makes Riley depressed. When watching movies, my friends around me can't help but vomit-this "sadness" is really annoying.

Yes, "sad" self is really annoying. We all resist this negative emotion to some extent. Even when we make a wish, we must make a dream of "always happy". Emotions like "sadness" and "melancholy" are naturally synonymous with weakness and mistakes.

But in fact, people are not only happy, just as extroversion is not everyone's attribute. Melancholy, anger, picky, cowardice, these are not positive emotions, which make us become a whole person. Especially melancholy ... melancholy, sadness ... If I hadn't watched "Inside Out" during the 11 th holiday, I would have thought that no one had such emotions.

If there is no sadness, where is the meaning of happiness? Different from happiness, sadness is a very secret emotion, which is usually internal, the softest pain in the heart, and a tiny crack in our mask. People will not easily show their sadness in public. Once they do this, they will be labeled as sentimental and weak. Therefore, after entering the society, those "sorrows" have been hidden. All people are singing and laughing, and all youth are positive energy. Looking back at the state of being in the circle of friends, eight out of ten people are happy. We instinctively and subconsciously resist sadness.

But of course, sadness has its meaning. Because it is a hidden feeling, when we reveal it, it will often trigger the resonance in people's hearts, and make relatives and friends connect more closely. In front of a group of teammates, Riley won't show sadness about her performance mistakes, but only in front of her parents will she show her heart.

More importantly, sadness is the catharsis of negative emotions. Life is always so difficult, and our pain is due to the realization of this point. We will be sad, it is because we face up to this point.

How simple it is to face up to your emotions. But to do this, it is enough to cause a "brainstorm". I have a friend who always looks lively. If I sing sad songs in KTV, I will be cut off by my friend and say, "It's not like him at all". There are also girls who look careless at ordinary times, who build their fortresses with countless people who don't care. And I, too, took a long time before I dared to admit that I was actually an introvert.

Even after that, I will be laughed at occasionally.

Therefore, "Inside Out" is still a fairy tale. After a series of adventures, happiness affirmed the value of melancholy and helped her find her own position. Since then, each memory is no longer a single color, but has become a rainbow. Since then, Riley's life has a complete emotion. Since then, the virtual partners of childhood have disappeared, but the advertising songs in deep memory come out from time to time to join in the fun.

This is also growth.
