Inspired by Hollywood - Inside Out

The second movie of Gretta's Inspired by Hollywood series this year was suggested by a physician in the congregation who specializes in psychotherary. Inside Out, Pixar's hit animation film, explores emotions, memory, and thought. And while you might think that an animated film could only provide a simplistic understanding of such complex things, the truth is that there are a lot of things we all hold in common. Inside Out puts it out there in a way that is touching, and incredibly accurate.

Dr. Paul Ekman has spent his life exploring emotions. In this short video, he explains how he came to the belief that there are basic emotions that all humans experience and basic facial expressions we exhibit when we experience those emotions.
