Pixar's Inside Out

President Squidward said:
Fine...

It focused too much on the annoying emotions more than Riley, who I could've gotten to know more, not to mention the plot was executed in a terrible way. Also, what's with the parents emotions, acting like women care sbout another guy and men care about sports. It's pretty sexist.

Watch I'm going to get flamed for this AS USUAL...

Riley is her emotions. It told her story in an interesting way. Why would you want them to ignore what makes it unique?

Also, sorry that all jokes everywhere now are sexist, racist, transphobic, homophobic, panphobic, asexualphobic, straightphobic, anti-white, anti-conservative, anti-liberal, anti-American, anti-guns, pro-guns, anti-rights, anti-religious, anti-Islamic, pro-Islamic, anti-Semetic, pro-Semetic, weightest, lookist, and/or agest, but sometimes things need to be looked at as nothing besides jokes and not be taken so seriously. You can read too much into anything and make it offensive, but clearly the mother and father's emotions were just meant to be humorous and not taken seriously.

I have literally never seen anyone completely miss the point of this movie more than you have.
THE EMOTIONS ARE NOT FOCUSED ON MORE THAN RILEY. THEY ARE RILEY. The plot was literally executed to show that (spoiler alert) there can't be joy only and that there has to be a balance of all emotions. That is what this damn movie was trying to tell you. Not everything has to be like The Wind Rises to be a good 2010's movie.
The emotions stuff was clearly meant to be a gag and it clearly had nothing to do with their sexes but their personalities. Hell, Riley's core emotion is hockey..
eh I'm sure someone will make a better post explaining this
 
I'm done giving my opinions on this site. I always ::dolphin noise:: get flamed and I'm sick of it.

I don't expect something to be like The Wind Rises for it to be great, I just want to see a movie that doesn't piss me off or have a story done in a really crappy way, but if you say so, I might as well say I love this movie Disney gets another gold ::dolphin noise:: star!!!

You guys really make me feel like I can't even give my thoughts on ANYTHING.

Prez I respect your opinion, but the whole movie was from Riley's perspective. The emotions represent Riley and their whole world is literally what is going on in Riley's head. That's the point of the character's existence since all five make up Riley as a character. Also, I thought the plot was executed perfectly. It took Riley, moved her out of her comfort zone in Minnesota and moved her to a new situation in San Francisco as we watched her adapt to her life changing around her. It's a perfect plot since we got to see how she evolved. It was so well done that I don't think it's terrible, not even the slightest.

Sorry that a one-off joke bothered you, but it wasn't meant to be taken seriously at all. It was only two minutes worth of your time and if you let that affect your overall opinion of the movie. Because that joke didn't bother me at all. It got a good laugh out of me because it's making fun of the way round characters like that get typecasted. But then we got to watch them evolve too with that perfect emotional scene at the end where the parents let them know they are having a hard time adapting too and how much family means despite tough situations like moving to a new home. It was great. But thank you for sharing your insight, for real. That's all I ask for when I see people post without explaining why they don't like a movie. I completely disagree with you about Inside Out, but beggars can't be choosers and I can't change your mind on what bothers you about a movie. :P

And of course I see this after I finish up my post. Not disagreeing with you, although I do think supmandude's post went a little too far. I appreciate people giving thoughts because anyone can easily say "this movie sucks hard" or "I don't like this". I would rather see people explaining what makes them tick or what they love about a movie more than just posting vague thoughts without elaboration.

Prez, I mean this nicely, but I hate how you act as if you're getting attacked/flamed when people are just pointing out what they find to be the flaws in your posts. I'm fine with you disliking this movie, but you stated two statements that didn't really make any sense. Both members above me said why these arguments don't make any sense, as Riley's emotions are Riley's character and the parents' emotions were only used for jokes and were barely used in the movie, not to stereotype the genders in general. But please just stop acting as if your opinions are not being accepted, they're just pointing out why they disagree. So don't take it badly.
 
Nobody's attacking you, Prez. We're just disagreeing with your opinion (although Supmandude's comment was kinda unwarranted), which should be expected when you say something controversial. Please learn to take criticism and handle it the right way.
 
It's okay to disagree with me, but I feel flamed when someone says "not everything has to be like The Wind Rises to be a good 2010's movie." It just comes off as rude to me. :/

I just find a lot of problems with this movie. I couldn't fall in live with the characters they focused on or anything. I feel like there was a lot of wrongs that they did and nothing came off as funny. It didn't even feel Pixar to me. That's all I'm trying to get it.

Sorry for overreacting for the millionth time, but it's fine if it's bothering you guys.

The reason why I say that is because your reasons you gave for disliking Inside Out made no sense and could easily apply to movies you do tout as wonders of animation such as Inside Out. Sometimes it honestly feels like you're trying to hate Disney for whatever reason hjust for the hell of it.

Well, I don't. I try everything they do and I think they can come up with great ideas, but how they're executed makes me annoyed. Movies like Frozen could've been great, but nope, have a predictable story and add that unnecessary character to use as a cash cow. It really bothers me and I wish to see new directors take up Disney movies because I know they can make the next great thing.

And how was this executed badly?
 
Not sure why people are saying my comment was too far. The long list of "everything is offensive" was more of a tangent I went on and not directly targeted at Prez. I just think people take jokes too seriously in general lately.

Sorry if what I said in particular came off as rude.

Frozen was executed badly because it never told how Elsa got her powers, it focused on characters like Olaf who didn't seem important to the story except for one thing, the story had nothing to do with the story it was based on (not that I like the story being changed, but again, they failed at doing it right) and the relationships didn't feel real.

oh ok

Inside Out was executed poorly because they focused on a problem that didn't need to exist in the first place.
It made Joy's jealousy of there being emotions besides her the core issue when they're a girl's feelings.
It shouldn't be about the emotions having their own personalities but show how Riley deals with all of her family's problems inside her head viewed as emotions personified.

Another thing I thought was that the emotions didn't seem as though they were the feelings they represented. Joy was obviously more of an Envy if she cared most about herself, she even seemed to come off that she thought she HERSELF was Riley but no she was only a part of her so why did she act like she owned the place? It just made me hate Joy.
 
The emotions treating Sadness rudely was obviously supposed to be symbolic of people pushing away all sad emotions and refusing to ever let themselves feel it. I thought that was spelled out perfectly to the audience.

Yeah.. joy being arrogant was there to teach a lesson.. that too much of one thing caused desturction of all the core memories. I thought Sadness realizing her potential was awesome and that was literally the point of the movie

Let me just say how I percieved this: I never thought Joy seemed exceptionally envious, she was a bit egocentric but that was mainly because she wanted Riley to be happy versus sad, scared, etc. When Joy thought aced as if she was the main controller of Riley, I believe that was the entire point of the story, to allow Joy to realize that a person can't simply function with just on emotion in power, or you have to allow certain emotions like sadness to be used once in a while, there by showing it to Riley. But you of course have a different view than I do, so I'll respect your opinion.

I think the point the movie made was to show that in her childhood, Riley used Joy the most out of all of her emotions. She was just a wacky kid, but through experiences in her life, Riley grew up literally and figuratively through the film. Joy, being thought she needed to be used, tried to control Sadness through out the whole movie to try and make Riley happy, when she actually needed all of her emotions to function right. I can see where you come off with Joy seeming like she want's to be in control of Riley, but that's where the ending comes in, and she realizes that she isn't the only one in control. Since the emotions all have their, well emotions, all Joy wanted to do was make Riley happy, so that's why I believe she tried to control everything, like you said. But in the end, she realized her mistakes and she knew, through experience, that Riley needs all of her emotions. That's my take on it at least. Opinion, respected on your behalf, because who am I to judge how a person feels about a film, just kind of wanted to write a little something about the movie. Moving on, I believe the movie itself was great, and is probably my second favorite Pixar movie, just behind the original Toy Story. Really enjoyed the story and animation. Glad Pixar found their magic again.
 
I'm still kicking myself in the butt to see it. Maybe this week or next week, I dunno.
