...Essay - Inside Out Inside Out is a short film from 1999 made by Tom and Charles Guard, also known as The Guard Brothers. This short film shows how opposites attract, but it also shows how a big chaotic city can make love difficult. In Inside Out the male character and the female character never really connect, they never really talk or touch each other. They never meet, because they are separated by the fashion shop's window. The window is like a barrier. Still they kind of have an instant "connection", like eye contact. When the man sees the woman he lights up, becomes energetic and he seeks her attention, he tries to act funny. The complete opposite of what he was before, a frustrated man, because no one would sign his papers, they just ignored him and walked on by. The woman is entertained by him, but she is also very shy and she tries to hide behind some mannequins. Though this could also be flirting, because she is alternately hiding, coming out, hiding again etc. This shows their differences. Two opposites meet and attract. At the end of the short film it shows that the attraction is not strong enough. The city forces them to go their separate ways. A city which is very chaotic and not to mention, big. The cinematic techniques amplify the chaos in the city, for example: There is a lot of short takes and close ups on peoples feet which shows that the citizens are always on the move. There is also hand-held camera and this certainly gives the idea of action and chaos...

...The movie Inside Out showed the inner workings of a girl’s (Riley’s) mind. The writer/s packaged the movie in such a way that it would show the audience how and why a person acts in a certain manner in such an entertaining way. It used whimsical representations showing how the brain receives, processes, and lets out responses, how memories fade, and how humans develop our personalities. Expressing Riley’s consciousness are five characters, which determine her actions and thoughts: Joy, Sadness, Anger, Disgust, and Fear. These five characters are embodiments of five emotions voicing the complex workings of the human brain. It was, for me, one of the best movies Disney Pixel has ever created. There have been, however, reactions from neuroscientists regarding the metaphors or representations used in the movie. The movie according to them, though cute and entertaining, was not a neurology lesson and some important elements of the functions of the human brain were misplaced, if not missing. Hence, I am going to try and discuss the comments of some neuroscientists regarding the representations used in the movie. First is the control panel being the center of commands. There does not seem to be a control panel similar to that of the movie in the actual human brain. The consciousness, however, does not reside on a single command center but rather distributed, with each part of the brain contributing its little bit. The nearest thing the human brain has to a command center...

...Colegio de San Juan de Letran Niceforo Vince A. Balbedina III Midterm Requirement General Psychology Movie Reaction Write-up Disney’s Pixar’s Inside Out Born in the 21th century, I was blessed enough to grow up in the luxury that is modern animation in entertainment. I remember the first animated movie I saw was DreamWorks’ Prince of Egypt. From then on, my fascination over animation and cartoons ran like water. I was five years-old when my mother let me watch my first Pixar film which was “Toy Story”. From that moment on, Pixar never failed to fascinate me. Last Wednesday, cinemas nationwide premiered Pixar’s latest work, Inside Out. I already saw the movie trailer before I went to watch the movie itself. The movie teaser was very intriguing. In the 4 minute video, they showcased all of their classic movies and the emotions that they threw towards the audience. After the memory montage, they introduced five characters each symbolizing the five root emotions of man; Joy; shown as a yellow figure that resembles the shape of a star, Sadness; shown as a blue character that resembles the shape of a tear-drop, Anger; the red fellow in the shape of a box, Fear; the purple figure that resembles the shape of a question-mark & Disgust; shown as a green character that resembles the shape of a broccoli. The plot of the story was as simple as it was intricate. It was about the struggle of a young girl, named Riley Andersen, as her emotions meet a dilemma...

...Jamie McDowell October 27, 2015 “Loving yourself inside and out” Maleeka Madison, an eleven year old, in the seventh grade was having problems with students making fun of her. Not being appealing enough to her peers with very dark skin and homemade clothes was the start of her troubles. Very smart, however, being made fun of distracted her from her work. Other’s words helped develop her insecurities and low self-esteem which made her not see anything good about herself. Often feeling alone when with people, she was isolated to herself. The detachment of her favorite person in the world, her father, was the worst of all her problems. The person who was always there, always ready to talk, and always checking up on her: Gone! Do you know who Maleeka reminds me of? She reminds me of myself. Getting called ugly by my peers, although not because of my facial features, but because of my attire and the fact my hair was never done was the start of me being a target by other students in the poor, urban middle school I went to; only having one floor and two long hallways. Always wearing two matted puffy pony tails classified me as ugly. Now don’t get me wrong I didn’t always get defensive nor did I get upset, some of things said were funny. Bullying at times could be exaggerated, although there were serious bulling situations. Nevertheless, not always a person is trying to hurt you by telling you what you look like or how they feel about you. However, in Main Street Middle school...

...“Inside Out” by Francisco Jimenez is a realistic short story about a ten or ten year old kid who goes to a English school and he only knows knows Spanish. In the beginning Francisco parents move to America not knowing any English. In the middle when he goes to school he had know idea what anyone was saying because they all spoke in English. In the end people didn't know what he’s saying but they didn’t care just because he only knew Spanish. This story shows that it is not what's on the outside like only knowing Spanish it is what's on the inside which is being nice and thoughtful. One way Francisco is getting bowled is when the class made fun of his Spanish because everyone spoke English. For example, in paragraph ten, the author says, “some of them looked at me and giggled.” The example shows that he is getting laughed at because he speaks a different language and he is a different race. This is important because Francisco is scared because he doesn't understand English. Francisco was humiliated when kids were laughing at him....

...Ha, like many refugees around the world has to face challenges that cause them to feel inside out, such as danger and fear. In the book Inside Out & Back Again, Ha says,(Lai,63) “Everyone knows the ship can sink.” Consequently, the amount of people on the ship is making the amount of danger and fear rise. Still, the author is giving a sense of fear and danger when he writes,(Shapiro) “The Kirk would be headed into hostile territory by itself.” In fact, the Kirk is alone and headed into uncharted waters, and the chances of getting demolished by the communists is going up by the second. A different perspective from Ha was, (Lai,63) “Bodies cram…” My analysis of the quote is, the amount of bodies aboard the ship is making the chances of getting...

...Zachery Yates English 103 Dr. Stephen Clifford 10 March 2011 Educating a Child Inside and Out “Just say NO!” This is an exclamation that we begin teaching our children in an attempt to keep them safe from harm. “Say no to drugs!” “Say no to strangers!” Our attempts in protecting children from any of the evils of the world usually fall back to having them, “Just say NO!” But, how does this protect them from the pitfalls and dangers of childhood obesity? How can we teach them to say “no” to unhealthy food or habits that are instilled upon them from their school meals, education or classmates’ influences? How can we protect their self-esteem from being damaged from childhood teasing? How can we protect them from the onset of adult disabilities while at an adolescent age? The value of an education has always been deemed as “priceless” but our current education system is allowing one of the key components of a healthy life, inside and out, to be overlooked. The missing piece in our children’s education system is the emphasis being placed on physical fitness. Today’s children are required to proficiently pass certain benchmarks in the areas of Reading, Writing and Math. But, these components are not enough to protect our children and educate our children for the eventual road to adulthood. Physical fitness needs to be recognized as one of the essential areas of childhood growth and education. It must be treated with as much importance as the current mental benchmarks of Reading...
