In the movie Inside Out, directed by Pete Docter, there are tiny workers in Riley’s, an eleven year old girl, head that help the main emotions to sort all of Riley’s memories. This movie shows kids how the brain deals with memories in a very basic way. In the film the workers sort memories, can force certain memories forward, known as recall, and decide which memories should be forgotten. The way our mind actually works, obviously, is not with little workers in our head running everything, however the film is not that far off with how our mind deals with memories. Firstly, Long term and short term memories are held and controlled in different parts of the brain. Just like Riley, we all have memories that we hold on to longer, which the film …show more content…
When we try to recall something that has happened to us in the past our brain replays the brain's perception to the real event. The movie shows this by using the orbs, aka Riley's memories, and they send them to headquarters to replay the scene and bring the same feelings forward again. Depending on the memory and depending what is happening around you can both be factors of how fast you recall a memory. People are more likely to remember things that they dislike or hate, this way they can try to avoid them. In the film the emotions of Riley hate the song from a gum commercial, yet the little workers in Riley’s head recall the song, causing Riley to sing it for a little bit. This can also happen when one is trying to remember something, but can not remember it. Then a few hours when they are doing something completely different, and are not thinking about it, they can suddenly recall the information they wanted earlier. Being able to recall certain memories under pressure is also shown in the movie. When Joy and Sadness are gone from headquarters and the other emotions try to take Joy’s place, but are not doing well. They three emotions try to use some of Riley’s hockey moments that are filled with joy to help Riley during hockey tryouts, however the mind rejects these memories. During a stressful time when one’s emotions are not stable, they have a hard time recalling prior information to solve the problem. Bernard Roth had a moment just like this he says “Shortly after the crash, I figured out what had happened. The car had a manual transmission, and Ruth, who was used to driving a automatic transmission, had mistakenly put her foot on the clutch rather than the brake… I should have reached my foot over and stepped on the brake” (116). In Riley’s case the fact that recalling happy memories was not working caused anger to take control, which caused Riley to leave the tryouts

something that we see in movies all the time. It’s translated from French and means the staging the different aspects of a movie such as setting, lighting, subjects, or almost anything else. Any common movie, such as Inside Out, shows Mise-en-snéne in it. Three big parts of Mise-en-scéne that are shown in the movie Inside Out are cinematography, sound, and editing. Inside Out uses all of these by describing a plot in which there are feelings in our brains which connect to different memories that we

Therefore, through analysis, Hamlet starring Ethan Hawke does the best job preserving the text of Hamlet, but yet modernizes the setting and situations to best resonate with audiences now, like an English class studying Hamlet.
