And yet no matter how much your brain tries to hurt you, your body has a way of fighting back As 22 learned when she briefly inhabited it The real Joe obviously thinks of his relationship with food as weakness but 22 doesn't care because it all tastes so damn good

However many years have passed since that audition, however much that lost gig has blurred into all the other memories of failures past, that piece of pie is still there The look of it, the smell, the taste more real than anything else from that day

And think, if he'd never gone out for that audition and he'd never failed at it he'd never have bought himself that pie And maybe if he hadn't been hurting so bad and looking for something to take his mind off it he wouldn't have savored it so deeply, remembered every bite

Does the piece of pie actually "redeem" the years of failure? Is all that struggle and pain worth it for a slice of pie that cost like $4.59? I dunno The point seems to be that moments don't redeem or give context to or provide meaning for other moments They just happen

A human perspective would say that the idea that treating yourself with a piece of pie makes up for years of humiliation is pathetic But the one night you get a standing ovation on opening night absolutely *should* redeem those years and saying it doesn't is ungrateful

My take is that this is an interpretation but it's not the only interpretation Like, actually saying "No, don't go for the risky artistic career, that's the wrong choice" would be monstrously hypocritical coming from people who are making this movie because they did do that

Pete Docter said he felt moved to make this movie because he DID actually get the brass ring - chief creative officer at Pixar, nominated for eight Oscars and winning two, hailed as one of the best directors in his field - and woke up wondering why he didn't feel different

The original idea for Joe's character was to have him literally be a self-insert, a white guy from Minnesota who comes to California to work in animation But then he was like "Nobody wants to watch that shit"

(You caught, by the way, that Riley's dad in Inside Out is a stand-in for Pete Docter His vaguely alluded to decision to move from Minnesota to the Bay Area for his unnamed career that's greatly stressing him out with fears he's ruined his family's life)
