When you rake in $750 million in the box office, you're doing something right. Whatever formula "Inside Out" followed definitely worked but the folks over at CineMash have other things in mind, creating a re-cut of the movie as if it were a psychological thriller.
You generally understand what's going on in "Inside Out" by understanding what the emotions in Riley's head were going through. You understand that the little girl pushes her veggies away because Disgust is in control. You know that she had an outburst because Anger is present and that she was anxious about meeting new people because she also has Fear up there. You realize Joy makes her smile and Sadness makes her blue.
But what if all you could see was Riley?
She is undergoing a lot of change in her life so it is understandable why a little girl would lash out.
But add in just the right kind of music?
And you can turn a simple story of a little girl who moved to a new home into a psychological thriller!
CineMash's take on "Inside Out" is just a little over a minute long but it does a good job of turning the movie on its head, pushing it into a little bit of a darker realm than where it had originally existed.
"Never fear. They're all in your head."
Taken in the original context of the movie, the line brings comfort. After all, it means Riley has five friends looking out for her. Although they may have their differences, all the emotions are thinking about her welfare.
Now read the line in light of a darker "Inside Out."
Well, let's just say that you've seen better days,
"Inside Out" was a big hit with families but even those without kids were also thoroughly entertained. Also, we have yet to meet anyone who isn't even remotely moved by what Bing Bong did. Stirred feelings aside, the movie's exploration of emotions was a good way as well to keep the conversation going about mental health.
