[@lorettabes4553]

Lots of movies do this to not break the title sequence (like HTTYD), but it's definitely a choice. And a great choice they made

[@videohistory722]

Pixar somehow finally managed to answer the question "What is the meaning of life?" To live.

[@okoala62]

💯💯💯

[@jolenecotsman1842]

..wow

[@EdwardHoraceChristensen]

Exactly. Life would be over if there was an actual meaning.

[@nmoney6655]

⁠@@EdwardHoraceChristensen I found my 13th reason why: to become a actress

[@videohistory722]

Another big thing: Joe was in the zone when he was auditioning, but not when he was actually performing. He was on point, he didn't miss a single note but he still wasn't actually enjoying himself.

[@danaportnoy9153]

This is an interesting observation. I know for myself as an artist, I experience enjoying a performance and being “in the zone” as two different things. I can be enjoying myself while performing, but also be not quite as tied to myself, and how the music feels to embody, if that makes sense? Like, if I’m in the zone, it really does feel “out of body” in the sense that every ounce of my focus is on the sensation of the music. That’s why it’s so jarring to be pulled out of the zone and why someone like that actress might forget where they were in the script entirely, because suddenly your senses are reminded of everything in the world around you again, all at once. Versus performing while not in the zone, it still is enjoyable, and the result of my life’s work, and as you pointed out, it can even go perfectly, but that meditative “out of body” experience isn’t there because something is pulling my focus. Even in a subconscious way. Sometimes it’s someone coughing in the audience, sometimes it’s being really hungry. Not every performance can be one that’s in the zone. But whether they’re in the zone or not, the joy of accomplishment, the joy of feeling the music so deeply in your body, goes away. The audience leaves, the stage closes, life goes on. That’s why you can’t base your life around these benchmarks. There’s so much more to be present for and to live for. All the time.

[@maloneaqua]

So many gems in this movie but my favorite part is the story about the young fish - he is looking for "the ocean" because the idea of the ocean sounds so grand. But when you're actually in the ocean.... it's just water. Joe thinks he's not living his dream but what he claims to be in love with is playing music. As a music teacher, he does play music - every, single day. Yet he's unfulfilled because "middle school music teacher" doesn't sound grand. But it is literally his dream - he is a professioinal, full-time musician. He just doesn't appreciate it.

[@Sarahwrldd]

22 couldnt find a spark as a soul because her spark is life itself, the beauty the sounds the food the smells, she didnt have a spark before because she had never experienced being alive

[@billbill6094]

I don't think I agree with that interpretation because the appreciation for life has nothing to do with your passions or proclivities, as seen by Joe when he has all this passion and can't enjoy what he already has. She found her spark when she gave up being so opposed to existing because she found just existing isn't something to fight. They reflect that in that convo "maybe my spark could be walking, I'm really good at walking" "that's not really a spark 22, that's just regular old living." It's reflected when we see a "sad" memory of Joe eating pie alone after a rejection was actually a happy memory of him enjoying a really good slice of pie. We don't need to know what her spark is, that doesn't matter really because the same spark that can put you in the zone can entrap you. It's about how you view life outside of it, how you give your own life meaning. So it doesn't matter what traits 22 picked up while she was alive, just being alive made her receptive. For all we know she may want to cook, cut hair, take care of animals, become a tailor, comedian, teacher, musician, or several other things she does. But the meaning is in the journey instead of the goal.

[@My-mind_me.]

wise words, thanks for explaining this for me@@billbill6094

[@virtualmc9139]

You just said what she said but in paragraphs

[@Sarahwrldd]

@@billbill6094 thats pretty much exactly what i said i just summed it up to get my main point across lol

[@billbill6094]

@@virtualmc9139 What I said was living is not her spark, just all creatures should appreciate living regardless of the purpose they give themselves. If living itself was her interest, it betrays even people swamped down by their interest or their inability to appreciate life by being overly goal oriented can eventually change. Their passions or their goals don't need to for their perception to shift. I'm saying "sparks" and enjoyment of life were set up to be two different things, one of which can hamper the other, which is why I do not agree with the op's comment. I'm saying 22 worked backwards from enjoying life _first_ to then not being so standoffish to _let_ a random passion hit her. It's essentially what children can do that we adults struggle to.

[@videohistory722]

Neat little thing you could miss: When Joe shows 22 his memories, there's one where he's sitting in a diner with a piece of pie, looking dejected, making you think it's a sad memory. But when Joe's at the piano and we see that montage of memories, we see the diner scene again, and we find out it was actually a happy memory, despite not starting out so great. It's like the hockey memory in Inside Out. It started off sad, but because of her friends and the team, it turned happy.

Same, I would add on singing and just being around music in general

22 had been a soul pretty much forever. When they were assigning mentors all the other souls were in the millions/billions suggesting every new soul gets the next highest number.

This movie always makes me cry like a big baby. 😅 I’ve never struggled with my purpose but always dealt with being too busy living to stop and LIVE. I hope they keep making these types of movies.

[@anakamarvelous]

Tbh This movie is one of two Pixar films to make me cry. Watching 22 fall in love with life and Joe finding his purpose and a better life was beautiful.

[@lorettabes4553]

It gets me every time 😢

[@v.o.s9973]

One thing i love about this movie is that it was made by the guy who made inside out , he said that when he accomplished everything with inside out , the pinnacle of his career , the greatness of his craft , all he ever wanted ;he started to wonder , okey what now ? Whats the purpose of life when i already achieved everything i wanted , so he made this movie !!

[@IsleofJaya]

I heard this quote from the Ghost and Molly Mcgee "Maya Angelou once said: What is a fear of living? It’s being preeminently afraid of dying. It is not doing what you came here to do, out of timidity and spinelessness. The antidote is to take full responsibility for yourself - for the time you take up and the space you occupy. If you don’t know what you’re here to do, then just do some good."

[@danaportnoy9153]

I felt the exact same way when I finished this movie. I was just in awe at the artistry behind the story and thought “I need to see this again.” Since then I’ve watched it probably 3 or 4 times, and I take something different away from it each time. So many messages, and each character and plot point focusing on a different life reflection. You might wanna look online in your area, Pixar is doing a limited time release of this in theaters right now. The date is technically passed, but it’s sticking around in some places. Yours might be one!

[@livingthedoelife8953]

Yesss!! I applaud Soul so much👏🏽 This movie definitely gets you thinking BIG TIME! Just sharing all the life lessons. Probably one of the best Pixar films ever made!

[@nikitacastellon1379]

Your lighting looks fine. It actually gives the watching a movie feel to it.

[@SaturdayParker]

I wanna say stories, all kinds, folklore, movies, books, history. Im fascinated by people and how they interact with each other.

[@gember1382]

Definitely one of my favorite animated movies. There is so much symbolism and message in this movie. I love that, in the end, he doesn't say "I'm gonna enjoy every minute of it". Instead he says "I'm gonna live every minute of it". The search for happiness can make you forget to live. ❤❤❤

[@vicegamer6944]

I love this movie. I cried at the heart tugging moments of this movie. Especially for 22 when Joe tells her about being great at jazzing.

[@ginahouston9352]

my spark is Acting in all it's forms, but especially theatre ✨💧

[@cinnadidthat5055]

My spark is just anything that involves me being creative and getting messy. I LOVE ceramics, drawing, digital design, building things, sewing, etc. As long as I have the ability to make something, I will be truly happy in this life.

[@COSun25]

I'm glad that you're checking out this film even if it's not in theaters. 'SOUL' didn't break box office records last month, but you're really touching our hearts and minds with the perspective of this easily accessible film.

[@cloudy_cat11811]

I think my spark would be The arts. I love crafting, singing, (trying to) dance, and drawing! This movie is so good and such an emotional movie. Such a deep theme turned into a movie and really captures the essence of *life* Also this might sound silly but i got so sad when the cat went to the after life 😭😭😭😭😭😭

[@acciotardisalohomora6302]

I don't know if I have time to watch this right now but I got my water ready! I like the lighting in this video. I get migraines typically from light exposure so the dim background is nice. I can still see you for the reactions so it's not too dark but I never had any issues seeing you on screen before either. I'll finish this video when I get a chance. Excited to watch this reaction later, great movie, entertaining reactor and awesome channel! Win-win-win.

I love this movie so much. We live for the small things, the moments. We sometimes want our life to be grand, but when we get there, we sometimes realize it isn't all that great. Often times it's because we're too focused on the end goal and forget to enjoy the journey there.

[@Manilaso]

Soul was one of my favs ngl

[@Heyzn999]

[@autumnm772]

My spark is the law. I am a year and a half out from graduating law school and taking the bar exam. I know our justice system is flawed, but if I can help even just a few people I feel it would be worth it. Music is like my secondary spark. I've played the violin for 14 years and its a great way to relax when the law stresses me out

[@omara153]

This movie kind of replicates what judgement day will look like

Billy, have you seen Finding Nemo? It's one of the best Pixar movies out there and you'll enjoy every minute of it. Like the new intro and setup btw. Keep up the good work.

[@AmyRose-uj8wl]

Favorite part is the graphics of the saxophone (artist POV) 🫶🏽

[@fae9679]

I really hope Disney makes a movie like this but it’s entirely about music. Cause I thought that it was about him playing from the soul, not him actually dying😅.

[@serenitytoepper]

That's what happens when you don't pay attention, but then again, we're not going to have it in our control, when it's times up its times up. Sure, it might seem unfair but that's not for us to decide all we have is to enjoy the time that is given to us. Life strikes when we least expect it to. But this movie truly is something it truly makes you think and look at life differently.

[@LexitaMai]

Nah fr they NEVER keep people of color as people of color in Disney movies. The Princess and thw Frog takes both main characters, people of color, and turn them into frogs The Emperors New Groove turns a person of color into an animal... Again. This movie turn the black dude into a weird animated blue blob, and then- you guessed it- an animal Even the Lion King gives similar vibes, except the "Africans" are just literal lions lol

A lot of people didn’t like this movie when it first came out. It actually got a lot of flack. But it’s so good and it’s still one of my favourite Pixar movies since I’ve seen it.
