A man who can control his emotions is greater than a general who can take down a city. - Napoleon
When it comes to emotions, what comes to mind? If your first thought is happiness, happiness, happiness, happiness, then you may be an optimist; if your first thought is sadness, loss, loneliness, then you may be a pessimist, of course, you may also think of anger, fear, hate, and so on.
Emotions are there for everyone, it should be said that animals have them, they are innate, they are God's gift to every living being.
And mood and sorrow are the five most basic emotions of human beings, and if you want to understand them and learn how to control them, then I don't think there is anything better for you than Pixar's animated film "Mind Agent".
Known by many fans as "Dreamworks," Pixar has always been able to animate the various objects in our lives with unparalleled imagination, telling us some philosophies of life in imaginative scenes. "Brain Task Force" is a work about psychology, about family affection, about growth.
"Mind Agent" is the 15th animated feature film launched by Pixar, and the high score of 8.7 on Douban has brought Pixar, who was originally considered to be "singing down", back to the peak of the animation film industry.
The style is still Pixar's consistent cute style, but it is very different from the previous Pixar works: it has no monster plot, no villain setting, it embodies spiritual material for the first time, and some are just emotional alternations.
It brings to life human emotions for the first time, it personifies the most basic moods and sorrows of human beings, they control the center of the human mind, there will be contradictions, they will also reconcile, and their every move makes human beings suddenly happy and angry, suddenly sad and afraid.
"Mind Agent" is Pixar's fourth work to be positioned in the PG level, and the theme it highlights raises the values it wants to express to the psychological height of "self-awareness", so this childish animation is actually more suitable for adults to watch.
<h1 class = "pgc-h-arrow-right" > people have complex and diverse personalities</h1>
The concept of psychology is divided into countless parts: emotions, personality, dreams, memories, imagination, etc., these concepts are all visualized, and they work together to build a number of personality islands such as family island, naughty island, friendship island, hockey island, honesty island, etc., which have become the cornerstone of a person's personality.
The establishment of these islands is directed and coordinated by the brain headquarters on behalf of the five emotions of the villains, they are happy, angry, worried, bored, afraid.
Compared to the protagonist of the story, Riley, these five emotional villains are more like the protagonists of "Mind Task Force".
[1] When the brain console is dominated by Lele, Riley will be optimistic, positive, upward, and feel happy;
[2] When the brain console is dominated by anger, Riley will be angry, irritable, and unreasonable;
[3] When the brain console is dominated by worry, Riley will be sad, lonely, and negative;
[4] When the brain console is dominated by boredom, Riley will be bored and lose passion;
[5] When the brain console is dominated by fear, Riley will be timid and cowardly.
Five emotional villains with very different personalities, they cooperate with each other, although there have been quarrels and conflicts, but also let Riley have a full, happy childhood. Pixar highlights the complexity of human personality to the fullest.
<h1 class = "pgc-h-arrow-right" > the loss and pain of growing up</h1>
The plot of "Mind Agents" is relatively simple, the protagonist Riley's childhood was spent in Minnesota, there is a warm house, there is a hockey she likes, there are friends who grew up together, and there is a father and mother who can accompany her all the time, Minnesota gave Riley a very cheerful childhood.
During her childhood, the secret service team built Family Island, Naughty Island, Friendship Island, Hockey Island, and Honesty Island in Riley's brain, and these personality islands shaped Riley's personality.
Everything was so calm and beautiful, but it was all broken when Riley was 11 years old. Riley's dad moved to San Francisco with his family because of his work, and Riley was very repulsive to it.
She had lost the room she had lived in for eleven years filled with memories, and her new home in San Francisco was dirty and small, leaving her overwhelmed. She lost her best friend, her favorite hockey team, and his parents had reduced their company to her because of their work.
Riley is unable to adapt to life in San Francisco, and the anger, worry, disgust, and fear in the emotional control center begin to spiral out of control, and Lele tries to bring happiness to Riley, but it is impossible to control.
Riley also began to become vulnerable, angry and hating everything in front of her, including her favorite hockey. She's no longer as optimistic as she used to be, she's melancholy and doesn't like to be in contact with people.
The loss of emotional control has caused character islands full of good memories to begin to collapse one after another. Fortunately, Lele has always been sober, and she brings Riley's core memories with her, and begins an adventure in the brain world in order to save Riley.
Growing up is accompanied by loss, and "Mind Agent" reflects the loss and pain of children in the process of growing up from a very realistic perspective.
The same is true of us in real life.
People often say that you are simple like a child, the child is really very simple, want to laugh, want to cry cry, want to be angry to be angry, without any disguise. But with the passage of time, the simple childhood of us is gone.
As we get older, as we become more exposed to things, we really begin to understand the world, this society. We slowly begin to accept things independently, happy things or unhappy things. This process makes our emotions begin to become complex and changeable, and it is used to adapt to a more complex society.
But the process is often painful, and you will feel lost, lonely, resistant, angry, fearful, and so on. However, this is the only way to grow, and after this process, we will truly grow.
<h1 class = "pgc-h-arrow-right" > human nature has weaknesses, and the family is the harbor of the soul</h1>
Growing up comes with pain, but not everyone can easily cross this hurdle in life. Everyone's personality has weaknesses, and it will be intuitively expressed through emotions.
Riley's upbringing is the epitome of the growth of many real-life children.
Due to work and other reasons, many parents can not take into account their children's life and learning, and children in the growth stage are often the most prone to problems in personality. Riley's mood has been extremely unstable since she moved, but her parents never noticed. So much so that Riley eventually planned to run away from home and go to Minnesota.
Growing up children can't fully control their emotions, let alone how to release their emotions. And the long-term mood fluctuations are violent, causing children to be impulsive and do something out of the ordinary.
In the current environment of increasing pressure in life, the number of depressed patients is increasing year by year, becoming a problem that cannot be ignored. People are very strong, but sometimes they are very fragile, which is a natural weakness of human nature, after all, no one is perfect.
As a parent, how to give some help when the child's personality and emotions are problematic is a problem that every parent should think about.
In the story, Riley's personality island collapses one after another, and finally only the crumbling family island remains, and the harmony of the family is the bondage in the hearts of the family. The family is always the harbor of the soul, and children need more company from adults in the process of growing up to help them better shape their personality and express their emotions better.
<h1 class= "pgc-h-arrow-right" > joys and sorrows are all life, happy and unhappy at the same time</h1>
In Mind Task force, worry is the representative of negative emotions, which makes her very unpopular in the process of controlling emotions, and Lele, as a team leader, does not want worry to control Riley's emotions.
Lele's starting point is good, and she hopes that Riley can grow up happily without any worries. But the so-called extremes must be reversed, and no one can always remain happy.
Emotions need to be regulated, and at the last moment when Riley's character island collapses, the melancholy bold attempt makes Riley show all her unhappiness, which makes her parents begin to know that her children have so much unhappiness. Therefore, sadness and negativity are inevitable.
Emotions such as joy, sorrow, and fear complement each other, and there will be happiness and sadness, and there will be happiness, and they are all part of life. We need to learn to accept every emotion, because a lot of times, sadness will release you. Constantly suppressing yourself and making yourself smile will backfire.
<h1 class= "pgc-h-arrow-right" > written at the end: learning to release emotions is more important than learning to control them</h1>
The famous orator Anthony Robbins said: "The secret of success is to know how to control the power of pain and pleasure, and not to be countered by this force." If you can do this, you can control your own life, otherwise, your life cannot be mastered. ”
Growing up is to slowly abandon simple emotional reactions, or to restrain and adjust simple emotional reactions, to accept the complexity of life.
Being able to control your emotions is a great skill, but it is also important to learn to release your emotions. Life is only a few decades, when it is time to laugh, it is happy to laugh, it is time to cry bitterly, I believe that the sunshine is always after the wind and rain, and after crying, we must still go forward with sonorousness, such a life is a colorful life.
