Nonverbal Communication In The Movie: Inside Out

1538 Words7 Pages

In the movie Inside Out everything essentially takes place inside the mind of an eleven year old girl, Riley. Riley is guided by her emotions of joy, sadness, anger, fear, and disgust. These five core human emotions attempt to advise and navigate her through her everyday life. The emotions and Riley display many nonverbal cues throughout the movie which portray how they are feeling. Watching this movie helped me learn how effective the communication between the characters is, what advice I would give to Riley if I were put in a similar situation, and how this advice is rooted in nonverbal communication. At the beginning of the movie Riley is a very happy girl with a great life full of friends, family, and hockey; However, when her family suddenly moves from Minnesota to San Francisco because of her dad’s job things begin to change. Riley and her emotions have a difficult time attempting to adjust to her new life. Joy has been Riley’s central and most prominent emotion throughout her life so Joy continues to try and keep things positive during this move; However, the other emotions clash on how to best steer Riley with starting over in this new place, house, and school. This causes chaos to arise in Headquarters, where the emotions are located. The communication I noticed that was displayed in this movie was storytelling and nonverbal communication. An effective way to engage an audience is through storytelling, stories not only entertain but they also teach. This movie

    I am choosing to write my mid-term paper on the television series “Breaking Bad”. The reason why is because it is a very intriguing complex show that not only has awesome character development, but alongside that contains many of the terms we have discussed together in class. Breaking Bad mainly centers around Walter White who is a brilliant middle aged family man working as a high school chemistry teacher. He also has a side job at the car wash in which he washes people’s cars. I clearly remember once scene in particular in which Walter used nonverbal communication in the first episode of the series as he was washing a student’s car.

    According to some psychologists, women are more likely than men prefer to see than to hear, than to listen and have more trust in the visual (non-verbal) information (Carnes, 2015). Unlike men, who in society are trying to demonstrate their masculinity and to achieve high status, women are more concerned about harmony in society and support of others. Being empathetic and sensual to others lay down in women’s nature and, therefore these instincts are manifested in interpersonal communication. It is believed that women more frequently use non-verbal communication because they much easier understand the body language and nonverbal cues.

Effective interpersonal communication centers around the concept that language directly reflects and shapes perspectives. In order to highlight the intricacies involved during dual perspective communication, I dissected a conversation between a close friend and I. Further analyzing the overall conversation allowed me to understand the power of language and the prominence of nonverbal cues.
