How does it go for 22 later? What "happened" to the cat?! Is he really "very near" to "not" survive at the end?!:O:'((U)What it the meaning of them to have cake there when they "can't" eat?!:O:'((U)
@@NixDarkLord I'm a music producer.. and I made a beat using the scene of the movie.. I tried to tell a story in my EP "Ends" I choosed this part of the movie cus it made me think bout my life and my passion in making music again and again. Hope y'all listen to my EP.. The beat is called "Soul" Love y'all and thanks ❤️
Exactly, if you get lost in your spark and forget about the other things you should not take for granted then your spark will begin to fade as we saw with Joe. When he was in the zone in the beginning we see he obviously loved the music and that’s mostly what he cared about, but what made his life great before the final show was that he was having a reason to live, he was helping others out but chasing his dream right before he died. He was struggling but still had that love for music in him to keep him alive and have a soul purpose. He began to realize he already fulfilled his soul purpose at the end when he was looking back on his life. Helping his students, loving his family, and having the opportunity to eat a bagel and see leaves on the ground. He finally got what he wanted and realized 22 deserved the earth pass more because she was actually living and not just focusing on joes spark. Even though she had the brain of Joe, she still didn’t take the most basic things he loves for granted. He left his impact on the world and got to enjoy the spark that made him happy, In his second life he got the opportunity to be grateful for what he wasn’t in the beginning and now his spark will excite him, but he won’t make it his soul purpose to live.
This movie honestly hit home. I used to be suicidal and almost ended my life on multiple occasions. I had a massive fear of becoming a failure and never accomplishing anything in life. Whether it was because I got a bad grade for something I studied hard for or snapped and hurt someone. Not helped by having nagging, controlling parents who always criticize me for the smallest of things. And expect me to still live at home with them, get married soon after I'm done with college, and no career. Over the years I realized how ending my life would cause more harm than good, because I realized that there are so many more wonders and amazing things in life that most people take for granted. Whether it be going hiking and experiencing nature's beauty, eating delicious foods, listening to music, reading books, having pets, falling in love, etc. These may not seem all that amazing, but in reality they're part of what makes life worth living and experiencing. I have a dream of being a cartoonist/animator, and I work hard and practice every day to achieve that goal. Death is what gives life meaning, so I have to spend every moment of my life to make that dream a reality.
It is a nightmare movie and Christmas was a terrible time to release it. If Pixar hadn't made the Toy Story films, Inside OUt, and ONward, I wouldgive up on them after this.
Best of luck to you. I def relate to your comment. Yin and Yang is a real thing, youve got to experience these true lowest lows to appreciate the highs... Thanks for sticking around, Kristof.
I really enjoyed this analysis. It is nice to just hear someone say that the little things matter and that in your life, you aren't required to do something amazing that the whole world will know about.
@@Lowart Thank you so much for this video. It may not be a blood transfusion, but it's videos like this that have been keeping me sane in lockdown. When I saw Soul, I knew that it was powerful and profound, but didn't fully register how empowering the message was until I saw your video. Even if I can't fully articulate how much your video resonated with me, I must thank you for making my day. I just came from Schaffrillas' Ratatouille review and a line that stood out was when he talked about wanting to make things; to add to this world. Art will outlive us, will continue to change lives long after it is made. I'm really grateful for having seen this today. I hope you have a wonderful day.
Also worth noting is that Joe wouldn't have gotten the gig in the first place if it weren't for Curley recommending him. In other words, the little things are what made his dream come true.
As a musician with the hope of one day having it be my career, this movie spoke to me on a personal level. Sure, reaching that goal in my life where I’m composing for large projects would be incredible. However, I can’t let that stop me from enjoying the little moments in my life, from feeling the moment to moment pleasures of making and writing music as well as just life in general. I teach piano lessons to about a half dozen children, and it was almost a dozen before the pandemic. Watching Joe help a kid nurture their talent almost brought me to tears because teachers have helped me not quit, and I’ve done the same thing to my students. The scene in the beginning where he gets into “the zone” perfectly visualized a feeling a million words can’t describe. I can’t begin to describe how special this movie is to me, it really feels almost made for me specifically.
Just listened to some of the music on your channel. It's fantastic! Your mixes sound incredibly full. I subscribed, and I hope more people will too. I also loved reading your thoughts on this film :)
I'm a drummer in college right now so trying to get into the business and I couldn't agree more, I feel like this movie hits home for us musicians more than the normal people. Couldn't agree more with the being in the zone comment
I'm 16 years old and playing the piano is one of the things i love the most, I play it many hours everyday and I would love so much to do that for living. But Im not that good yet (2-3 years of playing it), and I dont rly now what to do. I want to study music so much, but im afraid of doing it and not being able to get a proper job or a good life. I always thought that I would be an engineer like others in my family, but music is what i truly love to do, so im rly confused. (sry about the bad english, it is not my first language )
For me, the best way you can make your passion become "the meaning of your existence" is when you decide to do it...just for the fun of it. What I mean is...Joe thought playing that one gig would set him on a path to superstardom (or something like that.) But after the gig is over and done...he feels empty. If you do something just for the sake of wanting to be famous or goal-driven, your life will feel hollow. But if you indulge in your passion because it's fun and use other life experiences to help fuel that passion, THAT'S when your life has purpose. I myself have a passion/spark for writing but I don't do it for the fame or notoriety, I write because it's fun and my stories tend to inspire people (in some small ways)
Watched this with my boyfriend who's a musician and my best friend who's a teacher and they both had SUCH different take aways. And of course me as a person who struggles with depression also had a completely different takeaway. What makes this movie such a gem is that everyone takes away what they needed to hear.
I just watched the film and the what brought impact to me is the barbershop scene. It’s okay if you didn’t reached your dream. The important thing is that you are happy and contented in life.
Matthew Perry said that he knew that everyone would mostly talk about "Friends" when he died but he would like to be remembered for the people he helped stop drinking, people most of us wouldn't know about. He did some great things that he was more proud of but they weren't seen by the public.
This movie was beautiful. Definitely the best Pixar/Disney movie I’ve seen in like 8 years. Great music, humor, animation, message, and overall writing. I feel like saying this was just an objectively great movie.
Soul is such a life changing movie, because it makes you rethink why you want to live, Because your "purpose of life" isn’t your job, carrer, your "purpose" is why you want to want to live, why do you want to walk on the planet. For joe Its not because of his job or his play, why he thought he wanted to live was playing music, to his students, his heart, to the public and play with Dorothy Williams. And when finally got the part and played he felt disappointed. And as I see it, he was inspired to live was because he wanted to inspire someone like his father did to him. And when his a child he saw simple things that he forgot about when focusing on music. The sound of on the train, the sun against you face in sun. The walks between your house. The people he meet. He all miss that, And why 22 wanted to live, well just live everything that joe missed along the their road. She listened to the sounds, the sun against the sade, the nature in the small areas. And yet that's Regular old living.
This movie has got to be one of my favorites. Especially today where everyone is comparing themselves to everyone else on social media it can be super easy to feel inadequate so it's really nice to see a movie that tells you that life itself is enough. Really good analyses, thanks for the video!
This movie genuinely changed my life, the way I think and the way I enjoy life. It crushes me that not everyone will understand the real message or dismiss it just because it’s an animated movie
I can’t believe this movie opened my eyes and taught me a lesson even at my big age and I’m actually really grateful for it I feel a little better about myself
"The kids sound like crap, laugh at passion and the teacher doesn't look like he wants to be there at all." Realy defines a whole lot of stuff in modern society.
im surprised nobody picks up the connections to Buddhism, and the possibility that 22 is Joe before he was born. everything I'm the movie, including the actions of the Jerrys, and Joe's ability to use 22s pass to return to his own body... it almost seems like it could be a journey within himself to find his inner child again, to learn to love the world again. it's an answer to the feeling of mundanity one getS when you do something not for love, but for the outcome. I would like to add that for anybody but Joe, he's just kinda having a midlife crisis
This movie and Finding Dory both really hit close to home for me. When I was young, I always thought my “spark” was something to do with art and that one day I’d be super famous and become an animated movie director or a famous artist or something and that everything in my life would build up to being successful and having a family and a great life.. but mostly just living out a successful life with my passions, pretty much like Joe’s perspective.. And then my ADHD, Autism and other mental health issues got worse and worse as life went on, I “missed out” on many things in life, I was never able to “catch up” to everyone in life, it all seemed too hard and because I was trying to hide from the world and many times; thought I wasn’t good enough for it. I’ve always felt like a failure no matter how hard I tried and how much I pushed myself. My flawed brain always got in the way, no matter what I did. I couldn’t live like this and many times I was contemplating ending it all because of how worthless I felt as unsuccessful, permanently exhausted person. I am still struggling to stay afloat and time is running out where I need to learn how to be independent, but I know there is some hope and the comfort of not needing to be super successful in life to be happy and content. Now all I really want to do is work on my mental health, be with the people I love, do my art more as a hobby than a milestone for a huge successful career and just take things at a comfortable pace.
I know how you feel, I also have autism and have dealt with some serious mental health problem, in fact as I write this I'm suffering from severe depression and anxiety. In spite of that though I went to acting school, I did college and filmed my own short film. Point being I've long felt inadequate and very self critical but its a passing thing, it'd good to know I'm not alone.
This video perfectly encapsulates all I think and fell about the movie. When I first watched it hit me very hard, I always felt a little out of place, I didn’t have a passion or something that would give meaning to my life, and this movie saw me in the eyes and told me it was okey, and I just cried for like half an hour after I finish watching it.
I’m gonna have my kids watch this movie, and then more importantly help explain what the movie was actually about- just to make sure they don’t fall victim to life’s purpose trap.
I don't know why but the second time I have watched this movie. I cried so hard that it hurts but it felt like a relief. This movie is good like really good !
I have got to the conclusion where I only want to live without thinking of a future or a past just live and ENJOY SMALL MOMENTS. HOPE YOU STOP DEALING WITH STRESS AND JUST ENJOY LIVING WHATEVER IT GIVES YOU REMEMBER THAT'S CALLED LIVING. DON'T EXPECT ANYTHING JUST GIVE, LOVE, ENJOY, AND FU**ING LIVE. PEACE
Finally someone says it for kids too. And yeah i agree this movie help me remember why i don't care about being remembered after i died and reminded me that is ok to be average after a certain life break experience and feeling like it wasted me life this help me remember i kind of want to spend my life this way may i have regrets but I have kick myself until that moment happen now i feel better about it and my memories
The lesson this movie gives is a heartfelt and crucial one. So many people (including me to a certain point) are obsessed and stuck with what they 'could- or could've had or -been or -done' until they stop to consider what they do have and what they've experienced up to this point. It changes one's perspective drastically and grounds you to the present, to actually 'live'.
Thank you for this video. It made me reflect on myself the relationships I hold with those around me. J spend so much time attempting to achieve XYZ because I feel tasted what others expect of me. That I am unintentionally destroying those connections while souring life. Its been years since I been happy, thank you for the insight.
Thank you for making this video, It helps me pin point and explain the lessons i learned from soul! I literally cried when I watched soul and it had a big impact on me.
usually you tend to stir up my intellect with your videos but today you got me right in the feels I haven't seen this movie yet but now I know I must cause this message is so important, too many live by the unfair metric of having to do something important when in reality it is perfectly ok to just enjoy your life and be a good person to make those connections with others even the people we deem as important in our society achieved greatness while doing those things most of them did not set out for glory they just lived their lives and when they were called to stand for something they did and that is all great video my dude I hope as many as possible see this video and this movie cause we need more things like this
just watched this movie THIS YEAR, i couldnt ask for a better time to watch it honestly. i watched it when i needed to, i cried when it ended it gave me a whole different perspective of life.
This analysis feekked me UPPPPP, in the best way of course. So beautiful, so thoughtful. I am so grateful for this humanly compassionate perspective of this movie. The focus turning to 22 was what most video analysis of this movie was missing. It was not just about Joe, but the little things that 22 was needing. Thus, reminding ALL of us that what 22 needed, is what we tend to skip over. Such an important perspective. How many of us are needing what 22 needed, but living in a society that tries to make us forget it?
Just before I watched this video I was with my coworker before lunch break. We’re drone operators and we were just killing time walking outside looking for interesting rocks. After having these ideals refreshed in my mind, I hold that little moment a bit closer to my heart.
I watched this movie when it first came out. I was touched but didn’t feel I could truly relate to its message. So I continued to live in mentally exhaustion. Tonight a screenshot of the little fish looking for ocean part randomly popped up on me feed, now here I was fanatically looking for this movie related contents. BECAUSE I GOT IT. I get it now. Shit it’s actually all so simple. Guess I was too young to understand back when I first watched it. The old fish can not get it into the little fish what they have to learn on their own. I’ve came to similar revelation in the past year but I think I really got it this time.
I love this! It really highlights the important and deeper parts of the movie that people are blind of due to the colorful and playful animation. I appreciate how you took the time to make this video, you've really touched not just mine but all of our hearts. So thank you, and have a good life my friend (you deserve it). p.s. you have a very nice voice :>
Wow this movie hits you deep down within….fantastic story, visuals and music made this really come to life. Life’s true purpose sure is all the little things we do day to day. He finally figured out what life is really about. Unexpectedly he found purpose by helping a lost scared soul finally take that leap to life. Maybe our lives don’t have one single purpose but an endless amount. I hope 22 makes the most of it….
Finding this analysis is timely. I've been so focused on making my side hustle my full time job that I have limited my focus on other things. Your impact with this can't be measured with your resume. Thank you 🙏🏾
We as humans have been confused for a very long time. Life doesn’t need a purpose to live. Because that IS the purpose. To live. The same way a tree doesn’t need a purpose to drop a seed on the ground except to continue on living. The cycle of life will continue long after you and I are gone. We mind as well enjoy every last bit of it before our time comes. I hope everyone can realize this before it’s too late.
I've seen this film twice. And I to be honest I don't think this film is very personal to me. Inside out is the pixar film that is very personal to me. But I still think soul is a better film. For me it's a very different pixar film from all the others. It's more adult but still a family oriented movie. I think my favourite part of the film is the beginning becuase theres so many different art styles. I think the realistic grimmy new york is a nice example to show you how beautiful the you seminar is with all the purples and blues and pinks it looks so nice. But I adore the part when Joe is black and white and he's falling through the great beyond to the you seminar. I love it. I think I like it more the second time than the first and I think it's the best pixar film since coco. 9/10
You're a fantastic writer man currently and putting together my thoughts of this film for a video, so I can recognize your greatness. its hard to try to get your point across without feeling like you have to go over the entire plot of the movie. Fantastic analysis man 👍
The part where joe is playing his piano reflecting and crying made me bawl oeigianally, beacause i was realizing how much my life means to me and how i should appriciate the little things
This movie really hits hard for me. As someone who once wanted to be both a professional musician, as well as a teacher, this message really stuck with me. I ended up quitting those dreams in pursuit of a more stable high paying career as an accountant (Why Terry is absolutely one of my favorite characters lol) in order to provide more for my family. Seeing Dez say that he was born to be a veterinarian but became a barber because he wanted to support his family more really resonated with me. Especially because he said that even though he didn’t get to pursue his dreams, he found something he was passionate about and happy doing. I always worry that I’m going to regret wasting my time being in a boring office job later down in life, but this movie taught me that as long as I appreciate the little things in life and focus on what makes me happy, it doesn’t matter what I do in that time.
Wow. Seriously wow. This was an expertly done explanation of the movie. I watched this movie and most of it I didn't get. Not saying that I didn't understand the meaning, they tell you that in the end, after all it is a children's movie. But all of the small parts going up to it and all of the little meanings and character decisions, they all meant so much more than I originally thought.
Saying it's just a children's movie makes it sound like you're demoting the film as it can't possibly be more complex for the simple fact that it's in animated form and from Disney. That in itself is a poor explanation of the movie. Anyway, they don't explain everything to you or treat the audience like a child. That's why you didn't get it all.
Creativity is as imperative as air, food, and water. Art of any kind requires sacrifice, and that is the hard part, but one has to do it, or there is no achievement, no growth. People do matter in one's life, but people who matter don't always support the artist. Most people think art is like a hobby. It's not; it's a lifestyle with huge commitments. An artist doesn't have to be cruel or egotistical, but they have to be dedicated. Or else they won't be able to create.
@@Lowart I am a teacher and I related very hard to that aspect of the film. You touched on some very good points there. You can forget day to day, with the crush of everything, how memorable and crucial a moment can be to a learner. I was broken by the education system in my country, and i saw first hand how we educate and how the system can crush the spirit, like 22, when they dont, wont, or cant conform to some weird ideal of what a learner should look like. We are all valuable and unique, I wish teachers could actually be funded to teach to that, rather than try and push circles through square pegs.
If i could put this on a tapestry and hang it on my ceiling to wake up to everyday i would do it. fantastic video. nephew is definitely gonna see this one.
I had your video on my to watch list, now that I watched the movie finally I returned to your analysis - which is greatly articulated. You paid attention to the small details, just like 22 does. :D What I found super interesting about the movie was its portrayal of the thin line between passion and obsession. Even before the movie I was wondering about these differences and now the movie examined exactly those themes. As far as I see it, passion was >enriching< the characters lifes - as people say, the zone state is as state where life is experienced more intensive - literally more vivid, it adds magic to what otherwise could be perceived as mundane life. But at some point this can turn into obsession and it's hard to tell when that transition occurs. Obsession, while having similiar roots, does the contrary ironically - eat away at you, limiting yourself and making you miss out on so many potential enriching things.
Great video. I made one pretty similar to it, though clearly while we both got the message of the movie, it's interesting that the two of us chose different examples to show the message. Just comes to show how good this film is at sending a message
Great video. A truly amazing movie. I don't know how I haven't watched it before, I guess the trailers didn't really caught my attention when it first came out, but now it's my favourite Pixar film. You feel so much better after watching it. After all, what's the point of surviving if you don't see the beauty of regular old living?
If you noticed, we aren't even shown exactly when 22 got her pass. She just suddenly had it. And I think that's a lovely detail.
In the moment she had the courage to live, is when she got the spark 🤗
How does it go for 22 later? What "happened" to the cat?! Is he really "very near" to "not" survive at the end?!:O:'((U)What it the meaning of them to have cake there when they "can't" eat?!:O:'((U)
@@NixDarkLord I'm a music producer.. and I made a beat using the scene of the movie.. I tried to tell a story in my EP "Ends"

Love y'all and thanks ❤️
She had it right after visiting earth because the "spark " is just the will to live and she had it after visiting earth
there might be a part 2 for 22s life later and the cat must've died as it was seen going to the great beyond@@mineonlyedwardcullen
What I learnt about Life from Soul:
*The purpose of life is to live and your spark is what excites you to live*
good ol regular livin
Exactly, if you get lost in your spark and forget about the other things you should not take for granted then your spark will begin to fade as we saw with Joe. When he was in the zone in the beginning we see he obviously loved the music and that’s mostly what he cared about, but what made his life great before the final show was that he was having a reason to live, he was helping others out but chasing his dream right before he died. He was struggling but still had that love for music in him to keep him alive and have a soul purpose. He began to realize he already fulfilled his soul purpose at the end when he was looking back on his life. Helping his students, loving his family, and having the opportunity to eat a bagel and see leaves on the ground. He finally got what he wanted and realized 22 deserved the earth pass more because she was actually living and not just focusing on joes spark. Even though she had the brain of Joe, she still didn’t take the most basic things he loves for granted. He left his impact on the world and got to enjoy the spark that made him happy, In his second life he got the opportunity to be grateful for what he wasn’t in the beginning and now his spark will excite him, but he won’t make it his soul purpose to live.
A soul's purpose is to experience life in physical form...

This movie honestly hit home. I used to be suicidal and almost ended my life on multiple occasions. I had a massive fear of becoming a failure and never accomplishing anything in life.

For joe Its not because of his job or his play, why he thought he wanted to live was playing music, to his students, his heart, to the public and play with Dorothy Williams. And when finally got the part and played he felt disappointed. And as I see it, he was inspired to live was because he wanted to inspire someone like his father did to him. And when his a child he saw simple things that he forgot about when focusing on music. The sound of on the train, the sun against you face in sun. The walks between your house. The people he meet. He all miss that,
And why 22 wanted to live, well just live everything that joe missed along the their road.
She listened to the sounds, the sun against the sade, the nature in the small areas. And yet that's
Regular old living.
This movie should be nominated for Oscar's
This movie has got to be one of my favorites. Especially today where everyone is comparing themselves to everyone else on social media it can be super easy to feel inadequate so it's really nice to see a movie that tells you that life itself is enough. Really good analyses, thanks for the video!
This movie genuinely changed my life, the way I think and the way I enjoy life. It crushes me that not everyone will understand the real message or dismiss it just because it’s an animated movie
Dorothea Williams fish story was what drove home the meaning of life for me.
I can’t believe this movie opened my eyes and taught me a lesson even at my big age and I’m actually really grateful for it I feel a little better about myself
"The kids sound like crap, laugh at passion and the teacher doesn't look like he wants to be there at all."
Realy defines a whole lot of stuff in modern society.
im surprised nobody picks up the connections to Buddhism, and the possibility that 22 is Joe before he was born. everything I'm the movie, including the actions of the Jerrys, and Joe's ability to use 22s pass to return to his own body... it almost seems like it could be a journey within himself to find his inner child again, to learn to love the world again. it's an answer to the feeling of mundanity one getS when you do something not for love, but for the outcome. I would like to add that for anybody but Joe, he's just kinda having a midlife crisis
1:28 - New York City public schools really look like this
One minute in, see ya later, gotta go watch the movie first
Good choice! Much better to watch it first! I hope you enjoy it
This movie and Finding Dory both really hit close to home for me. When I was young, I always thought my “spark” was something to do with art and that one day I’d be super famous and become an animated movie director or a famous artist or something and that everything in my life would build up to being successful and having a family and a great life.. but mostly just living out a successful life with my passions, pretty much like Joe’s perspective..
And then my ADHD, Autism and other mental health issues got worse and worse as life went on, I “missed out” on many things in life, I was never able to “catch up” to everyone in life, it all seemed too hard and because I was trying to hide from the world and many times; thought I wasn’t good enough for it. I’ve always felt like a failure no matter how hard I tried and how much I pushed myself. My flawed brain always got in the way, no matter what I did. I couldn’t live like this and many times I was contemplating ending it all because of how worthless I felt as unsuccessful, permanently exhausted person.
I am still struggling to stay afloat and time is running out where I need to learn how to be independent, but I know there is some hope and the comfort of not needing to be super successful in life to be happy and content.
Now all I really want to do is work on my mental health, be with the people I love, do my art more as a hobby than a milestone for a huge successful career and just take things at a comfortable pace.
I'm feeling you, @Lulu B . I've been feeling very down myself, lately, and quite immobile.
I know how you feel, I also have autism and have dealt with some serious mental health problem, in fact as I write this I'm suffering from severe depression and anxiety. In spite of that though I went to acting school, I did college and filmed my own short film. Point being I've long felt inadequate and very self critical but its a passing thing, it'd good to know I'm not alone.
This video perfectly encapsulates all I think and fell about the movie. When I first watched it hit me very hard, I always felt a little out of place, I didn’t have a passion or something that would give meaning to my life, and this movie saw me in the eyes and told me it was okey, and I just cried for like half an hour after I finish watching it.
Soul rises in my estimation as a Pixar film every time I think about it
I’m gonna have my kids watch this movie, and then more importantly help explain what the movie was actually about- just to make sure they don’t fall victim to life’s purpose trap.
I don't know why but the second time I have watched this movie. I cried so hard that it hurts but it felt like a relief. This movie is good like really good !
I have got to the conclusion where I only want to live without thinking of a future or a past just live and ENJOY SMALL MOMENTS.
HOPE YOU STOP DEALING WITH STRESS AND JUST ENJOY LIVING WHATEVER IT GIVES YOU REMEMBER THAT'S CALLED LIVING.
DON'T EXPECT ANYTHING JUST GIVE, LOVE, ENJOY, AND FU**ING LIVE.
PEACE
I really did need to hear those last words, I’m crying and I haven’t been feeling like myself but I really did need to hear those words. I wanna be ok
You will be okay. Trust me, you are going to have an amazing life!
Yeah, you will rock this life that was given to you! You were chosen ^^ And I promise: You‘ll be okay! I got out of it too! :-)
People change the life of other people. If they are good, their influence will be positive, if they are passionate will change the life of everyone!
Finally someone says it for kids too. And yeah i agree this movie help me remember why i don't care about being remembered after i died and reminded me that is ok to be average after a certain life break experience and feeling like it wasted me life this help me remember i kind of want to spend my life this way may i have regrets but I have kick myself until that moment happen now i feel better about it and my memories
😭😭😭😭 I’m really happy to just be here and able to enjoy...
The lesson this movie gives is a heartfelt and crucial one. So many people (including me to a certain point) are obsessed and stuck with what they 'could- or could've had or -been or -done' until they stop to consider what they do have and what they've experienced up to this point. It changes one's perspective drastically and grounds you to the present, to actually 'live'.
Everything, no matter how big or small, make up the tapestry of what is your life.
Thank you for this video. It made me reflect on myself the relationships I hold with those around me. J spend so much time attempting to achieve XYZ because I feel tasted what others expect of me. That I am unintentionally destroying those connections while souring life. Its been years since I been happy, thank you for the insight.
You can’t believe how I felt, how I cried when you said little things matter and you don’t have to achieve a big goal.
Thank you for making this video, It helps me pin point and explain the lessons i learned from soul! I literally cried when I watched soul and it had a big impact on me.
My purpose is simple. I pass butter.
oh my God
Welcome to the club pal
My purpose is enjoy what life give me
😂😂😩 omggg
usually you tend to stir up my intellect with your videos but today you got me right in the feels I haven't seen this movie yet but now I know I must cause this message is so important, too many live by the unfair metric of having to do something important when in reality it is perfectly ok to just enjoy your life and be a good person to make those connections with others even the people we deem as important in our society achieved greatness while doing those things most of them did not set out for glory they just lived their lives and when they were called to stand for something they did and that is all great video my dude I hope as many as possible see this video and this movie cause we need more things like this
just watched this movie THIS YEAR, i couldnt ask for a better time to watch it honestly. i watched it when i needed to, i cried when it ended it gave me a whole different perspective of life.
This analysis feekked me UPPPPP, in the best way of course. So beautiful, so thoughtful. I am so grateful for this humanly compassionate perspective of this movie. The focus turning to 22 was what most video analysis of this movie was missing. It was not just about Joe, but the little things that 22 was needing. Thus, reminding ALL of us that what 22 needed, is what we tend to skip over. Such an important perspective. How many of us are needing what 22 needed, but living in a society that tries to make us forget it?
Just before I watched this video I was with my coworker before lunch break. We’re drone operators and we were just killing time walking outside looking for interesting rocks. After having these ideals refreshed in my mind, I hold that little moment a bit closer to my heart.
I watched this movie when it first came out. I was touched but didn’t feel I could truly relate to its message. So I continued to live in mentally exhaustion. Tonight a screenshot of the little fish looking for ocean part randomly popped up on me feed, now here I was fanatically looking for this movie related contents.
BECAUSE I GOT IT. I get it now. Shit it’s actually all so simple. Guess I was too young to understand back when I first watched it. The old fish can not get it into the little fish what they have to learn on their own. I’ve came to similar revelation in the past year but I think I really got it this time.
I feel like the little things really keep me going
I love this! It really highlights the important and deeper parts of the movie that people are blind of due to the colorful and playful animation. I appreciate how you took the time to make this video, you've really touched not just mine but all of our hearts. So thank you, and have a good life my friend (you deserve it).
p.s.
you have a very nice voice :>
Wow this movie hits you deep down within….fantastic story, visuals and music made this really come to life. Life’s true purpose sure is all the little things we do day to day. He finally figured out what life is really about. Unexpectedly he found purpose by helping a lost scared soul finally take that leap to life. Maybe our lives don’t have one single purpose but an endless amount. I hope 22 makes the most of it….
I really love the theme of jazz throughout. Jazz is soul. Music is life
This is the best analysis of Soul I have come across, thanks.
I swear you deserve a lot more subscribers i watched some of your FMA videos and dude you make some awesome analysis..
Finding this analysis is timely. I've been so focused on making my side hustle my full time job that I have limited my focus on other things.
Your impact with this can't be measured with your resume. Thank you 🙏🏾
We as humans have been confused for a very long time. Life doesn’t need a purpose to live. Because that IS the purpose. To live. The same way a tree doesn’t need a purpose to drop a seed on the ground except to continue on living. The cycle of life will continue long after you and I are gone. We mind as well enjoy every last bit of it before our time comes. I hope everyone can realize this before it’s too late.
I've seen this film twice. And I to be honest I don't think this film is very personal to me. Inside out is the pixar film that is very personal to me. But I still think soul is a better film. For me it's a very different pixar film from all the others. It's more adult but still a family oriented movie. I think my favourite part of the film is the beginning becuase theres so many different art styles. I think the realistic grimmy new york is a nice example to show you how beautiful the you seminar is with all the purples and blues and pinks it looks so nice. But I adore the part when Joe is black and white and he's falling through the great beyond to the you seminar. I love it. I think I like it more the second time than the first and I think it's the best pixar film since coco. 9/10
What an amazing video you have created. :) Got my feelings all tingly and stuff. Thank you.
You're a fantastic writer man currently and putting together my thoughts of this film for a video,
so I can recognize your greatness. its hard to try to get your point across without feeling like
you have to go over the entire plot of the movie. Fantastic analysis man 👍
Your detailed analysis helped me to get so much more out of the movie… Thank you so much!!
This is brilliant !!! Thank you !
This movie broke me i sat there crying because it was just so beautifully made with a wondeful message
Excellent video for an excellent movie. Great job !
Thanks! I'm happy you enjoyed it :)
The part where joe is playing his piano reflecting and crying made me bawl oeigianally, beacause i was realizing how much my life means to me and how i should appriciate the little things
Great analysis for another Pixar masterpiece, definitely on my top 5 from the studio with Wall-E, Inside Out, Coco and the Toy Story Saga... Thanx!!!
this one of my favorite movies and you explained it perfect
This movie really hits hard for me. As someone who once wanted to be both a professional musician, as well as a teacher, this message really stuck with me.
I ended up quitting those dreams in pursuit of a more stable high paying career as an accountant (Why Terry is absolutely one of my favorite characters lol) in order to provide more for my family. Seeing Dez say that he was born to be a veterinarian but became a barber because he wanted to support his family more really resonated with me. Especially because he said that even though he didn’t get to pursue his dreams, he found something he was passionate about and happy doing.
I always worry that I’m going to regret wasting my time being in a boring office job later down in life, but this movie taught me that as long as I appreciate the little things in life and focus on what makes me happy, it doesn’t matter what I do in that time.
Wow. Seriously wow. This was an expertly done explanation of the movie. I watched this movie and most of it I didn't get. Not saying that I didn't understand the meaning, they tell you that in the end, after all it is a children's movie. But all of the small parts going up to it and all of the little meanings and character decisions, they all meant so much more than I originally thought.
Saying it's just a children's movie makes it sound like you're demoting the film as it can't possibly be more complex for the simple fact that it's in animated form and from Disney. That in itself is a poor explanation of the movie. Anyway, they don't explain everything to you or treat the audience like a child. That's why you didn't get it all.
Beautiful analysis. I loved this movie and its message
Pixar's best film in the past decade and up there with the very best of them, Soul is such a wonderful movie
Creativity is as imperative as air, food, and water. Art of any kind requires sacrifice, and that is the hard part, but one has to do it, or there is no achievement, no growth. People do matter in one's life, but people who matter don't always support the artist. Most people think art is like a hobby. It's not; it's a lifestyle with huge commitments. An artist doesn't have to be cruel or egotistical, but they have to be dedicated. Or else they won't be able to create.
great explanation!... thank you!... now I want to watch it again... :)
The movie our post 2020 world needed
Beautiful! You really got the message and could explained it in a precise manner. You have talent ❤😊🙏 Thank you!
Absolutely beautiful video and analysis.
Thank you for this summary 😊 really needed it .
one of the best takes Ive seen.Great stuff! :)
Thanks! I'm happy you liked it :)
@@Lowart I am a teacher and I related very hard to that aspect of the film. You touched on some very good points there. You can forget day to day, with the crush of everything, how memorable and crucial a moment can be to a learner. I was broken by the education system in my country, and i saw first hand how we educate and how the system can crush the spirit, like 22, when they dont, wont, or cant conform to some weird ideal of what a learner should look like. We are all valuable and unique, I wish teachers could actually be funded to teach to that, rather than try and push circles through square pegs.
Honestly one of the deepest movies from Pixar and one of my favorites.
Coool vid bro, thanks for making it. 😀
"The fish might have built up the ocean to be something amazing but, in reality, it's still water." well said bro, well said.
"Life is what happens to you while you're busy making other plans."
this movie changed my life
If i could put this on a tapestry and hang it on my ceiling to wake up to everyday i would do it. fantastic video. nephew is definitely gonna see this one.
How can anyone dislike this video... Honestly, soul definitely asks the right questions and I am glad ... From this video, I realised... I am a 22!!
we're looking for an OCEAN instead of just water, only to realize that the Ocean is also...Just water.
I thought Soul was gonna be just another meh movie, but with all these comments and videos I guess I'll watch it
Thanks❤️
I had your video on my to watch list, now that I watched the movie finally I returned to your analysis - which is greatly articulated. You paid attention to the small details, just like 22 does. :D
What I found super interesting about the movie was its portrayal of the thin line between passion and obsession. Even before the movie I was wondering about these differences and now the movie examined exactly those themes.
As far as I see it, passion was >enriching< the characters lifes - as people say, the zone state is as state where life is experienced more intensive - literally more vivid, it adds magic to what otherwise could be perceived as mundane life.
But at some point this can turn into obsession and it's hard to tell when that transition occurs. Obsession, while having similiar roots, does the contrary ironically - eat away at you, limiting yourself and making you miss out on so many potential enriching things.
"Life happens while you are making other plans."
Great video. I made one pretty similar to it, though clearly while we both got the message of the movie, it's interesting that the two of us chose different examples to show the message. Just comes to show how good this film is at sending a message
Thanks! Yeah, it comes at its themes and messages from a lot of different angles.
totally agree with this ♥️
I don't know if I should cry.
Great video. A truly amazing movie. I don't know how I haven't watched it before, I guess the trailers didn't really caught my attention when it first came out, but now it's my favourite Pixar film. You feel so much better after watching it. After all, what's the point of surviving if you don't see the beauty of regular old living?
Meainng of life is to live and find your own way to enjoy it
That's what Soul shown me....Don't waste an mmnet or secidn of your lifetime
awsome!!
Thanks for the video
And thank you for watching :)
maybe Joe became the cat... happily chasing mice in great hunting ground of the beyond... lol
@@VardenMusic What
So apparently someone disliked this movie,and I'm puzzled as to why
Also 22 appears to be left handed,which as one myself,I appreciate
all those self help books are trash now for me. all i need is soul movie to remind me of LIFE
this video feels like a church lecture
"It is no bad thing to celebrate a simple life." - Tolkien.
I live so far in my life but now I can conclude that Life is just Regular good living
Superb review
Life is a journey after all.
Beautiful stuff.
