Furthermore, this movie brings the audiences into an emotional ride. The major theme of Inside Out is that emotions are fluid, organic, and have a strength of their own. They are powerful factors which are capable of steering us here and there. For example, when Sadness accidentally touched Riley’s core memories, Riley’s emotion changed instantly. Also, when Joy and Sadness were out of the Emotion Headquarter, Anger, Fear and Disgust were left in charge on Riley’s reactions. This is when Riley felt insecure and started to be a rebel child towards her Mum and Dad. Therefore, we can see that feelings do exist and deserved to be recognised by us. There are five main characters in this movie. First of all, Joy is the leader of Riley’s emotion, as she is the first to appear. As her name stated, her job is to make sure Riley stays happy. She is cheerful and always looks at things on the bright side, yet she is inflexible and the most controlling one.

Yet under the steady (or rather, wild) hands of director Paul Thomas Anderson, the film becomes a psychedelic, incredibly enjoyable ride brimming with wit and melancholy. The film follows Larry ‘Doc’ Sportello (played in routinely magnificent fashion by the now ever-reliable Joaquin Phoenix), and his exploits to help his ex-girlfriend, Shasta Fey (Katherine Waterston, also exquisite) investigate a kidnapping of notorious real-estate billionaire Mickey Wolfmann. From there, the plot descends (or ascends, depending on your perspective of the film) into sumptuous lunacy; a mystery involving the coveted and secretive
