Inside Out - Snapshot



There was quite a buzz around Inside Out, around the time of its release, and most critics had good things to say. I personally didn’t pay much attention to it, up until recently when reviewing the IMDB top 10 movies of 2015 list, where Inside Out was the highest rated, taking the no.1 slot. I decided I should watch it and got my hands on an HD copy. In short, I was blown away! Conceptually it is easily one of the most amazing animated movies I've seen. The idea of emotions, and the smart use of them to better understand their contribution to the various aspects of everyday life is great. The crux of the movie and the build-up to the finale is also based on this, towards better understanding how life and emotions work. The movie manages to mesh entertainment and fiction with reality and life-lessons wonderfully. The pace is perfect, and there are some truly hilarious moments, especially the equivalents of emotions in parents’ minds. The look and feel of Inside Out is lovely; the animation, and colors bringing imagination in its truest sense to life. As much as it’s a very entertaining and fun movie, the movie has some truly deep and moving moments; expect to feel them. There is no doubt that this movie is superb; its easily one of the best movies of the year.

My Recommendation: Kick Ass (Creativity at its best, depicted in an animated movie for all ages)

  1. This is an excellent movie review. Agree, that this film is really amazing and remarkable. I also agree, that the smart use of emotions - the way a person decides to respond to certain things can shape his or her character. In any situation, you have complete control on how you respond to things. You can always change your behavior to change your emotions. The way you respond is much more important than what actually happens... I can watch this film over and over again...
