Inside Out
I love how they present memories and experiences in objective terms: there’s good and bad to absolutely everything, and it’s all about responding not reacting; constant balance of emotions where no emotion is invalid or wrong, they’re all puzzles pieces that fit together. I love how they showed the inside of the mom’s brain where all the emotions were around a table working together, and even though sadness seemed to be the leader in her brain, everyone still functions together. And the going into the brain of a bunch of different people and animals was also just plain funny
Circle of sadness was so good. Tried to bottle up and not deal with the sadness and that just resulted in much more turmoil. And for example when Bing Bong was feeling down, he embraced Sadness and listened to her, and then kept moving forward. And then of course when Sadness was the only thing that could save Riley. - Sadness taking Joy’s hand and giving it control. - And then the multicolour core memory, what a perfect palatable way to understand the complexity of human emotions, this movie is incredible
Phyllis from The Office as Sadness might be the best casting of all time
Life-changing soundtrack, that solo piano melody is perfection
I will never get over Bing Bong’s death (even though he committed cloud murder). I will never forget you Bing Bong
