Pixar is never exhausted to explore in the premise of "what if some things has emotions?" Toys, bugs, fish, even monsters were captured on what if they have emotions and they have to deal with some obstacles in their life. Now they are working on a deeper level;

what if emotions has emotions?

Even more complicated if they want the story has to be related to its audiences - in general context. In doing so, a fine research is a must. For Pete Docter and the gang, this is not a problem as they always include some psychological aspects in their films. Remember how Up (2009) dealing with grief and how the film portrays the Kubler-Ross' "5 Stages of Grief" in a very clever way? So surely telling a story about how emotions deal with their own and other emotions aren't quite difficult for them.

With this writing as a reading companion with my review of Inside Out (in Bahasa Indonesia), I will discuss some of the plot device of the film, and explore it with psychological perspective. In doing so, I cannot avoid some plot points, thus this writing will contain much of heavy spoilers. If you haven't watch the film, bookmark this page, watch the film, then come back here for further discussion. It is a long writing, will take about 15-20 minutes to finish it. So bear with me.

Awalnya gue memilih seperti itu karena bulan-bulan hectic dimana gue membantu persiapan drama jalan salib. Gue exhausted, dan sebagai introvert, gue butuh menyendiri untuk "recharge". Awalnya gue enjoy banget me-time yang gue lakukan. This is what I need. Tapi lama kelamaan kayaknya gue keracunan. Memilih me-time sebagai jalan untuk kabur, bukan untuk recharge. Lama kelamaan, tanpa sadar gue mengisolasi diri gue sendiri. Yang berujung gue semakin ga menemukan tujuan hidup akibat terlalu larut dalam pikiran sendiri.
