Pixar's Soul Did Something INCREDIBLE... But...

Just a little detail I enjoyed was how 22 got her final spark to go to Earth. Literally every famous, intellectual, and intelligent human being tried to persuade her to try, but it was Joe, a normal person with no major accomplishments, that finally did it. It’s because 22 wasn’t interested in the big, wonderful things to be somebody. Instead she was interested in the small things in life that everyone overlooks, including Joe, introduced by him unintentionally

The emotional ( makes you cry scene) scene is the part where he’s on the piano having flashbacks, realizing that he’s been living life this whole time and enjoying it without realizing. Now that’s Pixar

"Is nobody bothered by Joe walking around in a hospital gown? Really?" You have never been to New York.

“I heard this story about a fish. He swims up to an older fish and says: “I’m trying to find this thing they call the ocean.” “The ocean?” the older fish says, “that’s what you’re in right now.” “This”, says the young fish, “this is water. What I want is the ocean!”

"Does no one really care about Joe walking around in a hospital gown?" Clearly Dazz has never been to NYC.

Honestly I don't really care about if this movie worked well for kids, it was my favorite pixar movie in a decade

"It's about the little things in life, not the destination." Proceeds to complain about how the destination wasn't satisfying.

The thing about this movie I find a lot of people just don’t seem to realize is that sparks aren’t a passion or a purpose or anything like that. It’s the willingness to exist, to live, just walking out the door, and I feel as though the reason people don’t realize that is because of the yearn for completion, for an end goal that makes you feel complete. We don’t want to believe that in the end it is really, meaningless. Honestly don’t know what I’m going on about at this point but anyway.

This is probably Pixar’s most intellectual film yet

I can see why people want a set conclusion, but the point of the ending of the film is that it's okay if we don't KNOW if he'll be satisfied as a teacher or not, nor what kind of life 22 will lead. Life is ambiguous at BEST. So the ending NOT being definitive makes complete sense. Life is confusing, life can suck, life is HARD. I like that for ONCE in their god damn lives, Disney/Pixar did NOT wrap this up in a NICE little BOW of happiness at the end. Because news flash...that's life. It's complex. And that's what makes it WONDERFUL. This is one of those animations that SHOWS why animated movies are NOT just for children. They don't get why adults have existential crises, or why we have questions about why we're here-they're innocent to all of that. But that shouldn't be a fault of the movie if it's not kid friendly. Pixar's Soul is ANOTHER BANGER of a film, and if you didn't see the point of the ending or the thematic behind it...maybe it's best you give it another go. I myself had to watch it twice to fully understand everything going on and since I have...it...really nails what it's going for. And for the demographic, I think it really speaks to generation z and the millennial generation I feel. We know what kind of world we live in, we see the world for the most part as 22 saw it, but...it isn't all bad. Maybe we just need to start living instead of complaining about it all.

my guy you COMPLETELY missed the point of that ending.

The ending is suppose to be open, is up to the viewer to know how they're gonna live their life. The story isn't really about Joe but about us people that sometimes feel unsure of our life. The film still does have a lot of weird plot holes and unnecessary things, but is Pixar and is for kids too I guess.

I think the part where Joe gets eaten by 22 and rescues her is a metaphor of depression and anxiety with her focusing on the complains people have given her and making them worse than they actually were

Personally I think the lack of closure on the movie is intentional. Instead of watching him go out and live his life I felt like I needed to go out and live mine.

I know this is irrelevant, but I just had the best orange ever

Hot take: Terry doesn’t need to be a villain (That’s why she’s not)

I think the abrupt ending is kinda the point. Joe doesn’t know where his life will go from here, and we don’t either, but that’s ok because that’s how life is

The scene that GOT TO ME was when Joe was trying to reach out to 22, and then all those sand figures with her voice but the words of her mentors....it was this weird mix of both show but tell the audience that despite 22 SEEMING like she was this confident no fcks given soul, she....WANTED to go to Earth the whole time. She just felt like she wasn't good enough but hid that insecurity with aloofness. God it really struck a chord with me.

I’ve gotta agree with the comments on this one. This whole video was just “i WaNt mUh aNsWeRs!!!11!!!,” when the point is to not have answers. The ambiguous ending is intentional. It’s supposed to be open to interpretation.

"Please, just do it quickly, and quietly." "And also quickly... and quietly as well." is comedic genius.
