Inside Out Movie Analysis
Growing up can be a stressful, causing children to make grueling decisions, Riley from Inside Out is no exception. Riley an 11-year-old girl has to move with her parents from Minneapolis to San Francisco with no friends, no personal belongings, and her father's stressful job. Pixar's Inside Out has to be one of the worst children's movies due to a lack of positive role-modeling, dark subconscious behavior, and influential possibilities. In 1993, Disney studios made an attempt to shut down the production of Toy Story because Woody appeared to be a "sarcastic jerk"; due to some decision made by Riley's character Pixar should have considered an alternate script for Inside Out.
Riley (Kaitlyn Diaz) runs off her five core emotions Joy (Amy Poehler), Sadness (Phyllis Smith), Fear (Bill Hader), Disgust (Mindy Kaling), and Anger (Lewis Black). These emotions assist her throughout the day to overcome struggles and create memories. Joy was an upbeat personality who tends to control most of Rileys attitude/personality while Sadness was often asked to think positive. Due to Riley's new surroundings she became less and less optimistic and Sadness unknowingly became stronger at this time and more curious about memories. When core memories become altered during this difficult time in Riley's life,

Pixar created a poor role-model for children to follow- Riley. She in one scene did not speak respectfully to her parents telling them to " Shut Up." The writers played this off as a comedy scene due to the father's emotional struggle to implement " putting the foot down." Later, speaking with a friend from Minneapolis, Riley becomes upset when her long-time friend for finding someone else to play on their hockey team, abruptly ended their conversation, destroying Friendship Island. While trying out for hockey in San Francisco, she fell and stormed off of the ice and told her mother " let's go"; Riley gave

    Based solely on the novel of Divergent a movie was made lasting two hours and nine minutes. This isn't a short span of time for a movie yet, could it be pure coincidence that they left out some details. Could it have been some of the effects were to gruesome for a film rated PG-13? Or were these actions of leaving the details out more purposeful? Does it give the movie somewhat of a different meaning than the original script of the book? So it brings into question, who wrote it better the writer of the novel Veronica Roth, or the director of the film Neil Burger?…

    From the Disney movie, “Inside Out,” five emotions – Joy, Sadness, Anger, Disgust, and Fear – were portrayed. While watching the movie, I was reminded that all the emotions in a person’s body must be expressed. If a person does not express one emotion, a person would be psychologically and emotionally unstable. As seen in the movie, the main emotion in Riley was Joy. Joy is optimistic and happy, but she is a little over controlling. Joy is the boss of Riley’s emotions and she never wants Riley to be sad, even when she needs to be sad. This could be seen with the core memories. All of the core memories were on joyous and happy incidents, so Joy thought that she was more important than the rest as these happy core memories made Riley who she was.…

    1. Subprime mortgages or mortgages that are normally made out to borrowers with lower credit ratings (below 640) are viewed by the lender that the borrower has larger-than average risk of defaulting on the loan and as a result typically carry a higher interest rate than that of a conventional loan. Banks originally required a down payment from subprime buyers and normally kept these loans bearing the risk of default. Overtime banks began to group subprime loans into Residential Mortgage Backed Securities (RMBS) and large investors began to buy out these RMBS, passing the risk of default along to the investors not the lending banks. Additionally, the Credit Rating Agencies (CRA) gave the RMBS their highest ratings of AAA, making the RMBS appear to be safe investments. The banks then began to bundle the RMBS together into Collateralized Debt Obligations (CDO) and together with the rating agency they determined large portions of CDOs to be AAA rated, despite the fact that they were backed only by subprime mortgage loans. CDOs became highly popular and grew in numbers, however it became more difficult to find enough subprime loans to back new CDOs. Insurance contracts were then made, known as the credit default swap (CDS) and allowed the banks and investors to bet on subprime RMBS and CDOs without actually owning anything. This became a “betting game” of trillions of dollars for financial institutions as to whether or not home mortgage borrowers would default on their loans.…

    Identity In Juno

    • 471 Words
    • 2 Pages

    role confusion. Juno struggles to establish her own personal identity and lifestyle; she only has her best friend Leah for help in this process (Ashford et al., 2008). Juno’s decision- making skills are not mature yet—typical for adolescent development—which makes her more impressionable and impulsive (Ashford et al., 2008). In the film, Juno makes poor decisions regarding her hormonal impulses. If she were able to communicate with her parents more, she may be more successful in not having to find love in boys. Since Juno’s brain has had time to develop, she has an opportunity to make decisions in more abstract and hypothetical way. Ashford and Lecroy discuss formal operational thinking during adolescence, and Juno seems to be assimilation during the movie. Ashford and Lecroy describe assimilation as consolidating new information with old information, in order to make a decision (p.429). Juno expresses assimilation when attending the local women’s clinic with the decision to have her baby aborted. She decides not to go through with it when her friend mentions how her baby already has fingernails, this new information along with her emotional attachment with this baby, made her choose the path of…
