Hey Youtubers it's Charlie, this is going to be my Pixar inside out review in case you
guys haven't seen it what I'm going to do is the first half of the video will be non-spoilery
and then the second half I'll do spoilers so here we go one of the things I love most
about Pixar films is that they're not afraid to try new ideas in this is like one of the
newest weirdest ideas that they've had for movie most of the voice cast you'll probably
recognize the main cast is really the five different emotions Joy's sadness discussed
anger and fear most the trailers feature any polar she's to pretty much like the point
girl in the movie but the film is built around all five emotions on one level it's a lot
like the toy story films and in that it's about learning that it's okay for things to
change as you grow up but on a deeper level this movie is a lot more about learning and
development and how that changes as you grow up so is taking a much more internalized you
growing up thematically I mean if you're gonna ties to a franchise though I would tie to
toy story because Pete Docter the director also wrote inside out he's the same guy that
wrote all the toy story films oration say that he wrote the original story that the
toy story movies are based on there's a difference between the story in the screenplay it means
it's a bunch of different things but creatively the toy story franchise in inside all flow
from the same place so if you like toy story you like this is much more cerebral in the
sense that it focuses much more on the action inside your head then on big the of the physical
actions you take in the real world so it's almost literally reflexive in a way that the
toy story movies are at the toys and toy story think about their own existence as toys which
is kind of funny and ironic the same time the movie does try really hard to explain
the feedback loop of you know actions leading to a emotions leading to long-term memories
and those memories influencing future actions and even though so heavy on emotions I didn't
find it too emotionally manipulative this is and game of thrones with memories there
has been a lot of talk about how the film portrays depression because that's a big arc
in the film the proposition you begin with is that the joy is like the most pure great
emotion you can feel and depression and sadness is the opposite of that that's why you see
Amy Poehler and Phyllis Smith so much in the trailer sadness is one of those actresses
that you know you've heard before but you just can't place them she played Phyllis on
the office without getting too heavy to the story the film does do a good job of of explaining
the relationship between these two seemingly polar opposite emotions the real awareness
the film comes from some of the really big things that it's missing actually think that's
a good thing I should think you awareness and that it's good weird typically most stories
involving antagonist and protagonist this film is not like that so it might seem a little
bit weird in that the there's no like big villain to defeat a really good contrast this
is avengers age of all Tron they dated sequences where you go inside the avengers minds and
that the deal with these really strange pseudo-memories it's very weird and unexpected in the movie
where you expect a lot of punching and kicking and even though that's not really what Pixar
films are about that there is a lot like punching and kicking going on inside the toy story
films that there is a villain inside toy story three trying to hurt the good toys and that's
not really how the narrative in inside-out is constructed and I did as a really good
thing this is the kind of film that you might end up watching inside like a high school
psychology class or like an intro college class meet a lot of it's very whimsical but
a lot of the ideas are solid that the way that memories are stored away memories change
on all give the movie a giant thumbs-up to me you don't need to see it in 3-D your IMAX
or anything like that it totally works just it and regular 2-D and a lot of my extra praise
for the film goes in the fact that Pixar was willing to try something this weird that she
give you a lot of hope for the other big franchises the Disney like Marvel and Star Wars I meet
you a lot of it is like recycling franchises but then every once in a while they slip in
a film like this something that just so weird and different that it feels like it doesn't
fit right away really where it starts to fit is when you think of Pixar films in the context
of of what it's like to be a child can grow up that mean that's really what those films
are about but just to get into spoilers on to talk about a couple my favorite moments
in the film so careful if you haven't seen the movie yet here we go far and away my favorite
part of the film was when they make it to imagination land they run into Bing Bong,
he's played by Richard kind he is the perfect voice of an imaginary friend just the right
amount of crazy energy like oh my God he's a lunatic but this seems like it might be
fun it also doesn't hurt that he cries candy I honestly I'd I don't think a lot of the
emotional arc of the film would've worked without his sacrifice he in a way is like
one of the smartest characters in the film because he comes to terms with his own existence
in the way that Riley like the little girl hasn't yet to be fair though you don't really
expect a little kid to figure that out when she has even hit puberty yet the puberty console
was a nice and tag like only got one with this big red button does for the most part
like the other emotions besides joy and sadness that are fairly forgettable I mean you know
Bill Hader Lewis Black Mindy Kaling they're all great actors but they didn't really become
interesting till that and tag to you know we started to see the the blended emotions
like fear and joy at the same time even though it's an overly simplistic way to view emotions
that I thought it worked the film just says emotions are extremely complex you can feel
a number of them in the same instance of if you really want to get scientific about it
there a lot of biochemical processes associated with forming memories and learning and development
that they did, left out it's almost like the whole film is taking place inside the room
of abstract thought because it's presenting these emotions is distinct things in an abstract
way so I guess that's probably the best way to think about it that's an even better way
of describing the process by which I make videos like I feel like I'm sitting inside
a room of abstract thought it feels completely weird until I turn around and start editing
the video but here's my big question for you guys what was your favorite part of the film
and do you want to see them try more weird ideas like this that is to say films that
don't necessarily have a main villain to overcome and resolutions that are kind of ambiguous
like all life is going to be complicated and I'll deal with it as opposed to say like our
Marvel movie were it's like I punch you your dead eye when Bam movie over for those you
asking like what Pixar movies are coming out next so the good dinosaur is there next movie
that's coming this November it's it's like the alternate history tell about like what
happens if the earth didn't get hit by giant meteorite then there's finding Dori that's
like the next finding Nemo movie part of that franchise so expect a lot of those actors
come back that's next year then toy story for so you a couple franchise movies back
to back there is an incredible to I have yet to meet a person that did not like that film
it did a great job of deconstructing the superhero genre I don't know how they're going to fall
that up so we'll see expectations typically get lowered for sequels really I think that
were waiting for is a really bad ass Pixar Marvel collaboration on animated movie they
do a big heroes six but that's really like a Disney animation Marvel collaboration and
that feels much more like a Disney film that it does like a Marvel film the closest thing
we have to that is is the incredible franchise in toy story they're both really good but
I feel like it it be really awesome to see Marvel characters go through some sort of
story arc like you see in those films what does it mean to be a superhero but we need
an inside out for Tony Stark that would be a nightmare the whole movie would be that
giant clown from the subconscious stomping around with the liquor bottle trying to chase
you so moving down the line Ant Man and fantastic four, couple of other big movies coming this
