When I was a kid, I just watched cartoons that always aired on television, or when my papa bought a CD, when it's still a trend. We had a DVD player back then when my parents bought our first TV. I used to love Tom and Jerry because that was what my papa bought for us to watch and have fun with.
But right now, I admit that I am not active or being updated on some movie cartoons that some kids in our generation have always watched. Maybe because I am too focused on K-pop and K-drama. Watching cartoons makes me feel like I am too old to watch those, not realizing that I am too young not to enjoy my younger self—I am too young to watch some dramas before. That's why I live my life with a lot of expectations and fantasies in this world.
Inside Out 2 became a trend everywhere. I also saw the spoiler for this movie when I watched a movie in the cinema a month ago. Because they made it an advertisement. I told myself that I would watch this movie too because it's very interesting to me. But then I realized that I hadn't watched the first season yet. So before I watch Season 2, I decided to watch the first season yesterday. It's also a good thing that I can watch the first season on the Loklok app.
I was curious why this movie title was called Inside Out. And then, When I started to watch the beginning of this movie, this movie makes me look back at when I was a kid. There is this blurry flashback of my childhood (I forgot what age I was at the time), I had this question on my mind. "What does it look like inside my brain?" "Who controls my emotions?" "Can someone see what I see?". Because I was young, I do have a lot of curiosity. I asked my mom when I told her about that, and she said that, "No one. Your brain is the only thing that controls your whole body." (I'm not sure if that's exactly what she said. I don't remember this memory much anymore)
At the beginning of this movie, I found it interesting because of this character named Sadness. I was so slow, and I didn't realize right away why their names are sadness, joy, disgust, fear, and anger. Their name is based on emotions. Another thing that made me confused is why they are looking at the screen, and what are those balls?
Then, I realized that they were working inside of her mind on how Riley (the kid) would control her emotions outside. How she will react in some situations, and at the end of the day, they will collect a lot of emotions and make the park of memories depending on some situations or important events in her life—stronger.
I laughed hard when she really hated, or, should I say, disgusted, Brocolli. Because I also hate brocolli, and looking at the pizza with brocolli made me vomit. I also have the same reaction inside my mind: "Who the f cooks or puts pizza with just brocolli toppings?
If there are two characters that I love in this movie, they are disgust and sadness. Like, what the! Disgust really is a cool emotion! I mean, as human beings, we couldn't stop ourselves from being disgusted and overreacting in some situations where we showed hate. Not every time we like this and that; we do have a lot of preferences, and we are all not the same. We can also have differences. Not because others love this; you will also love that.
As for sadness, we as humans can't really stop ourselves from thinking negatively rather than positively. Right? Even if there are signs and despite the happenings that there is positivity beside the negativity, we will still choose to stick with negativity. Because I think it has a greater effect on our lives, and we couldn't stop that emotion even though we wanted to be happy. In life, we always remember the sad memories rather than the happy ones in some situations that happened. Because those things have a greater impact on our lives, we had a lot of trauma, and we wouldn't ever come back to that situation again. But I don't like sadness because of this. I like her because she's funny, cute, and a character who, despite her role as being sad, is actually brave enough to let that kid show her sad emotions. Some of the other emotions don't want her to show them or make the kid show sadness and always joy. Because Joy believes that everything is fine, everything will be solved right away, and we should always think positively in life. We should set aside being sad because she thinks that being sad won't do anything and can't help.
She made me—I mean, as a viewer, she taught us that it is not bad to be sad. And being sad can also solve every situation in life. Not just being happy or being positive.
And the character that I hate here is neither anger nor fear. It's Joy. I am a negative person, and I really hate it when I am always happy. Because the exchange for being happy leads me to feel excitement, and when I feel the excitement, it always puts me in a state of negativity and disappointment at the end of the day. I don't like it when I solve everything by just thinking positively, because that is what other people say, and setting aside my real emotions, even if I am not really happy.
Omg! Haha, I laughed when I saw this. Okay, so this is the land where we imagine things? I think this is our comfort zone, and having imaginative thoughts can make us feel better despite things that have happened. Or we just comfort ourselves with imaginative thoughts that are not actually true. It's not always a situation, but we also sometimes imagine things because we dream and want to work harder.
I laughed at this part because of Joy's reaction, and I am guilty too! At a young age, I idolized Bangtan Sonyeondan, also known as BTS, when I was 12 years old, and I always considered myself a girlfriend of Kim Taehyung, aka. V. But you know, these imaginative thoughts and being a delulu saved me from depressive thoughts.
What made me cry in this movie was this part. I couldn't help but cry while watching because I realized that I also lost my childhood because I did not show my real emotions back when I was still a teenager. I always keep on being positive and strong being alone, and I never told them—my parents—what I actually feel, and while growing up, the things that happened in the past during my childhood are fading slowly in my memories. Thanks to some prompts here on Hive, I can remember them one by one. This is the only way for me to remember my childhood days, how our family was actually happy in the past, how I looked when I was a kid, and how my parents love and care for me.
If only I could show my real emotions and what I felt back then, right? I think we can still solve our problem as a family. I am their child, and they should also consider what we feel. But it was too late to do that because it's already gone and we can't turn back the time.
| Watching a movie like this, I thought it was boring. But it's not actually boring to watch this kind of movie. I think I will continue watching a movie like this because it's fun and there are some situations that we can learn from, especially if it's about life. I also think that this kind of movie should be watched by kids so they can learn about life situations and they will know and realize some things about what life actually is in reality, not some fantasy dramas about Prince and Princess because it was a scam. Now that I have already watched the first season of Inside Out, I think I will watch Season 2 of this movie right away. But I was debating whether I would watch it in cinemas or just wait on the Loklok app to have a subtitle. I am curious about what happened to Riley. I don't have any thoughts about the ending yet because there is season 2 of this movie. |
