Inside Out 2

 

Hey Everyone, 

I have decided to do a blog on the movie Inside Out 2, starring Amy Poehler, Phyllis Smith, Tony Hale, Ayo Edebiri, Maya Hawke.

 If you aren’t familiar with Inside out 2, you can see the first one Inside out, The movie is about a young girl named Riley, who just moved to a new neighborhood and has to make new friends, she just started a new school and is part of a hockey team. 

And you get to meet her emotions that she has going on in her head, Joy, Anger, disgust and fear they are really funny emotions and have fun personalities you will see when you watch the movie.  

You will love the first inside out movie, be sure to watch the first inside out before you watch the sequel.

In the movie Inside Out 2, We first see joy inside Riley’s mind cheering her on at her hockey game, we see joy calling out all the emotions in Riley’s mind so the viewers can know who they are and what they do to contribute to Riley and help her out.

It has been two years since Riley moved to San Francisco, Riley is 13 years old now and she is entering high school, her personified emotions, Joy, Anger, Sadness, Disgust and fear now oversee a different element of Riley’s mind, called her sense of self, which houses memories and feelings that shapes Riley’s beliefs.

Joy is attempting to fill the sense of self with only positive memories with a mechanism that launches negative memories to the back of Riley’s mind.

Riley is getting for ready for hockey camp with her two best friends Bree and Grace that is for the weekend, Riley is hoping to qualify for the schools new team the Firehawks, however a puberty alarm goes off the night before camp  and a group of mind workers upgrade the emotion console leaving head quarters in disarray.

 The emotions find out that Riley overreacts to any movement they make to the console, now new emotions are introduced Anxiety who is an orange emotion  , Embarrassment who is a pink emotion , Envy who is a cyan emotion, Ennui is a indigo emotion who arrives and clash with the other emotions over their approaches, in particular joy wants Riley to have fun at camp, while Anxiety focuses on a winning a spot on the team and making new friends.

Riley finds out her friends are going to a different high school , while joy is in control of the panel Riley inadvertently gets the other players punished by  the strict camp coach director Roberts.

Anxiety decides Riley needs a whole new personality to fit in with the older players, Anxiety sends Riley’s emotions away and she launches the sense of self to the back of Riley’s mind and puts her other emotions away in a memory vault, the new emotions anxiety, embarrassment, envy and ennui create a new anxiety dominated sense of self and encourage Riley to befriend Val Ortiz which strains her friendship with Bree and Grace , Joy who is a yellow emotion , Sadness who is a blue emotion , Fear who is a purple emotion , Anger is who a red emotion , Disgust who is a green emotion all escape the vault.

  Joy, fear, Disgust and Anger go to retrieve Riley’s old sense of self while Sadness goes to headquarters to bring them back in a recall tube, Riley is still under Anxiety’s control she sneaks into her coach’s office and opens her notebook to find out that Riley isn’t ready to become a official firehawk yet.

The old emotions find the sense of self built on a mountain of negative memories and thoughts deposited by joys mechanism , they are unable to use the tube to get back to headquarters they cause an avalanche of memories to get back to headquarters, this causes  the negative memories to spill into Riley’s belief system .

Anxiety realizes the sense of self she created for Riley is one of self -doubt which causes Riley to perform poorly on her final tryout match and she accidentally hurts her friend Grace and gets sent to the penalty box,  anxiety is horrified she swarms the console in a whirlwind causing Riley to have a panic attack.

Joy makes it to the headquarters she sees anxiety is in control, she is in paralysis, Joy convinces anxiety that Riley doesn’t need to change to have a better future , anxiety relents and joy puts Riley’s old sense of self back , the panic attack persists , after anxiety admits she can’t determine who Riley is Joy realizes the same applies to her, she removed the old sense of self and allows a new one to form its Riley’s positive and negative memories. 

The emotions embrace the sense of self and it calms Riley and she reconciles with Bree and Grace, the console calls for joy and she happily helps Riley finish the tryouts.

 You will have to see the movie to find out what happens next,  I can assure you it’s a happy ending and will leave you with a smile on your face.

 I decided to write about this movie because I like how the movie discusses all the emotions and feelings that a person goes through and feels from time to time or maybe feels a lot of the time, to be completely real and honest with you guys I can relate to the anxiety emotion that Riley has in the movie, I tend to get anxious often about different things, and sometimes about certain situations or circumstances, or if a big event that pertains to me is happening or something with my family like a vacation or a reunion or something like that I start getting very anxious, I think about all the things that are going to be happening and what I am going to do once I arrive there, like what I am going to say or what I am going to do ???  What kind of things are we going to do? 

Am I going to get to say all that I want to say?? Am I going to be able to take pictures before I leave for home? I have all these kinds of thoughts running through my head constantly all the time, and once it’s time to head home from the vacation , I’m thinking it’s time to say goodbye which is extremely difficult for me because I love my family so much and I enjoy the time that we are together. It’s hard for me to say bye because then I’m thinking when will I see them again ?? Or talk to them again?? Or get to give them a hug 🤗 or a happy smile.

 I get the whole tightness in my chest, and hard to breathe, and the whole racing of thoughts. 

There is a scene in the movie where you see the emotions help Riley with her panic attack, whenever I’m feeling anxious I usually talk to my family or my big sister, and she always knows what to say to help me feel better, my First Lady does too.

 I also get anxious about my work schedule, I’m thinking about hanging up the clothes the right way and making sure that I’m doing a good Job while I am there so I can make sure my managers are happy and the customers at Tj Maxx are happy.

 I also sometimes get anxious about going to my home church, I love my church and my church family and my pastor and First Lady my bestie and big sister goes to my home church and I love seeing her and giving her a hug and happy smile and seeing my other church family members there and saying hello what makes me anxious is not having someone to go with me.

I used to have someone to go with me that has changed now, I still attend my home church and I end up having a very wonderful time, I just prefer having someone with me instead of being by myself, I’ve had a few friends come with me which I’m grateful and thankful 🙏🥹 for, they enjoy the church service as well and have a good time, if I don’t make it to my church or have someone to go with me I go to a different church, I go with my wonderful family friend and neighbor , who kindly and graciously lets me go and attend church with her I’m so grateful for that. 

I only get anxious when I start thinking about different things, and going through the week, especially about Sunday.

 I am also like the character Joy, I am a happy and joyful person and always look for the positive in things and live life joyfully, I also look at the glass as half full. 

Like for example if me and my mom are running around somewhere or going to a event or something and my mom is feeling rushed and feels like we won’t make it in time I will tell her at least were on our way. That makes the whole situation at ease. 

I want you to know if you are dealing with any one of these emotions everything will be ok, you will make it through. I recommend this movie to anyone who wants to watch a good movie 🎥!!!
