Aaaand... we're back! Hope you enjoyed part I, here's part II: I've been surfing around the waves of Inside Out on the internet and came across this little beauty, which talks about a pretty significant message in the movie; that sadness has an important place in our lives. It's a fair point and I won't rehash it all here, but I do want to add a little commentary on the matter.

Greetings from the Ephesian! For the few that have encountered my not-too-recent initiation of this here undertaking, a question may have arisen: "Where'd the Ephesian go?"

Please see his first movie post, Begin! to get an idea of his methods and see it applied. He employed the terms "events" and "lens (or scope)" to talk about a particular work's message. An "event" is what is being portrayed and the "lens" is the cinematography, writing, music, chronology, and other aspects of the work which implicitly or explicitly tell the viewer/reader/listener how they are supposed to interpret that event. Basically, he tried to uncover what ideas the movie implied, suggested, or taught...Read More
