Pixar's 'Inside Out'

After watching Pixar's 'Inside Out' and reading a couple of articles on other people's views on the subject of feelings and how they were depicted in this movie, I have made some conclusions of my own. Although everyone has the five different emotions of fear, sadness, disgust, anger and joy within themselves, each individual is different because of which emotion controls them the most or has the most impact on their actions. The entire movie impacted the way I think about not only how I handle my own feeling but also how I react to the feelings of others, especially children. An adult has years of practice on how they handle and react to different situations, but with a child every situation is a first and the outcome is unknown. Setting a standard for how they are supposed to react is unfair. They must acknowledge how they are feeling and be guided on how to work through it, not just ignore and move forward. Suppressing one's emotions only makes them build until they are no longer manageable. I believe the underlying message of the movie is to accept all of your emotions because they all have a place within you, and as much as you may want them to- "emotions can't quit".
