Review of Soul (2020) by Soloyt — 28 Dec 2020
Soul is an original movie from Pixar proving that the studio isn't yet down crafting stories that tackle ambitious themes. In this movie we see Joe Gardner, voiced by the talented Jamie Foxx, who thinks that he is living a meaningless life and that if he was just able to get his big break his life will finally have purpose.
Right after getting his chance do play at a Jazz club with other talented musicians that he thinks will give his life meaning he dies and in trying to return to his life he ends up with an unborn soul named 22, who for thousands of years has been avoiding living.
While trying to get Joe back into his body, 22 gets trapped inside of his fleshy prison, while Joe is locked in the form of a cat. Through this new perspective on life, 22 learns to put aside all of her preconceived notions about life on Earth and Joe comes to realization that it's the little things, not your passion, that make life meaningful.
We realize that 22 has been avoiding life and is tries to create a disrespectful persona just to disguise her own insecurities with everyone telling her that her life isn't one worth living and through the mentor-ship of Joe she realizes that she is worth it and that life is worth cherishing.
