Insid Inside Out

Improved Essays
The movie Inside Out presented Riley’s dream after she entered the REM stage while she was sleeping. It was actually inaccurate at the part where Riley entered to REM stage immediately after she fell asleep since people had to go through the non-REM stages(sleep stages 1-4) before they entered REM stage. However, Inside Out did a good job to show what was happening in Riley’s brain when she was dreaming in her REM stage. For example, there was one section in her brain called “Dream productions”, where produced a sequences of images, emotions, and thoughts in Riley’s mind. Most of the dreams produced by “Dream Productions” were notable for their hallucinatory imagery, incongruities, and discontinues. For example, the unrealistic character Rainbow Unicorn. …show more content…
Moreover, Inside Out accurately presented the fact that sometimes our dreams are based on our real life experiences when Riley was dreaming about her terrible day at school. Beyond sleeping and dreaming, Inside Out also represented each emotion’s role in memory, but it did not represent it correctly in the beginning where all the memory orbs had the same color, in other worlds, all the memories were dominated by one certain emotion. The fact was that our memories were combined by various emotions, and it was not supposed to always be dominated by one emotion. This movie eventually showing each emotion’s role in memory accurately by presenting the colorful memory orbs in the headquarter in the end of the

    The Prefrontal Cortex is inactive during REM dreaming which could cause the erratic dreams from the Prefrontal Cortex being the area of reasoning and planning. As for Non REM dreams with the brain being inactive, everyday or repetitive activities would be dreamed with your brain being very similarly in an autopilot state. (Grison, Heatherton & Gazzangia, Chapter 3, 2015). Typically dreams are not remembered either being REM or Non REM dreams. This is because dreaming is part of an unconscious, sleeping state.…

    Scientists have argued whether or not dreams have a true purpose when it comes to humans. In chapter four of, “The Storytelling Animal,” Jonathan Gottschall argues that indeed dreams do have a true function. However, he also claims that “a function for dreams or pretend play or fiction doesn’t mean that we’ve identified the function.” (Page 86). I agree with Gottshchall pertaining to his outlook on dreams having a purpose.…

    He dissociated one part of his consciousness from another part” (Stout, P427). The over unbalanced distribution in individuals’ minds will give them a place to escape from the outsides and easier to have a willingness to disconnect with outsides. The reason why people tend to immerse in the imagination is that if they cannot adopt their current situation, on one side, there is only the cruelty of reality and frustration, but on the other side, the imagination can satisfy their all requirements and they are powerful in that world. Thus, when the symbolic connections stimulate people bad memory frequently, people who over-care about this, will only hold the negative…

    Inside Out Theory

    The first of these theories is the James Lange Theory. The basic idea of the James Lange Theory is that once an event is processed in our minds, then we feel an emotion that correlates with the event to allow our mind to reason (Myers 464). An example of this theory in the movie Inside Out is when Riley is sitting down having dinner with her family in their new house in California and she has already lost Joy, her driving emotion in life. When she is asked a question by her mother that she would have normally wanted to talk about she sits there quietly for a second processing the question (the arousal). Because Joy is no longer in her head, disgust tries to respond to the question as joy would but comes off very rude and abrasive (the expressive behavior).…

    In Inside Out, Riley’s memories are stored as orbs, stored in a limitless library, organized into different categories. This library is a simpliar way of referring the hippocampus. The movie doesn’t touch much on this, but each memory is sorted and put into alike divisions so they are easy to recall. Each memory has an emotion tied to it, which the movie emphaizes. Riley has Joy, Fear, Disgust, Anger, or Sadness connected to a memory.…

    Sigmund Freud was a firm believer that dreams revealed much more about the dreamer than he or she may think. He thought that dreams were a way that a person could explore their unconscious desires and feelings, meaning that dreams let a person become aware of things that he or she was not previously aware of. Freud also believed that dreams consisted of manifest content, the literal content of a dream that a person has had, as well as latent content, which is what the dream represents to the dreamer. Latent content is purposely hidden from the dreamer in order to protect him or her from facing conflicts evident in his or her dreams. The activation-synthesis theory states that when a person sleeps, his or her brain tries to create connections from the random brain activity that occurs during sleep, which results in dreams.…

    In Chapter three I found the sleeping stages very interesting. I think that it is amazing that there are four total stages of sleep once you start sleeping. Also, it is cool that about every ninety minutes, you cycle through four distinct sleep stages. Out of all the stages the one that caught my attention the most was the last stage, the REM stage. This stage surprised me the most because it said that this stage arouses people the most, especially if you were to have a nightmare.…

    In the movie Inside Out, the main concept that is portrayed is how memory works. Certain specific topics that relate to memory that are in the movie include REM sleep, long term memory, dream theories, flashbulb memories and interference, to name a few. The way that some of these topics are portrayed in the movie are correct, and actually give an accurate, but comedic interpretation of how the memory works. Although the movie has some moments where concepts that involve memory are not necessarily correct, overall it gives a relatively accurate display of how information is processed in people’s minds. To start, the movie mainly focuses on short-term memory, long-term memory, and R.E.M. Sleep, and the way they are portrayed is close to how the…

    While it is happening, namely, in the middle of the dream, what the dreamer is experiencing feels unquestionably real and incredibly true, regardless of how absurd or irrational the dream turns out to be; very rarely does the dreamer question the nature of their reality. This is epitomized in A Midsummer Night’s Dream’s first round of dreams, or the characters’ waking up into a dream state. After magic was used on them, Lysander and Demetrius had no perception of their dramatic personality change though it was perfectly obvious to both Hermia and Helena (a perfect example of nothing seeming strange in a dream while in the middle of it, no matter how strange). When a person wakes up and regains full consciousness, or at least begins to do so, what moments ago seemed so clear and genuine in existence, now feels rapidly fading and transparently untrue. The (past-tense) dreamer has trouble remembering the events of the dream and for a moment just after waking up, probably will not even be entirely aware of where they are.…

    Once Riley was asleep, the emotions moved the memories to long term and therefore, their work day was over. Throughout the textbook and also through the lectures in class, we learned that sleep is important for memory consolidation. “Inside Out” illustrates the process quite well in the movie and highlights the importance of sleeping during the consolidation…

    I decided to take a different approach to my critical film review. “Inside Out” is a recently new film that does not actually have an identified therapist or client. However, the main themes of the movie have many parallels to the content that we have been learning in class. “Inside Out” is a Disney Pixar movie that brings to life the five emotions (Joy, Anger, Disgust, Fear, and Sadness) of 11-year-old Riley. Life is seemingly going smoothly for Riley and her emotions.…
