First time watching SOUL movie reaction

[@LM-gm9yo]

This movie made me realize that you don't need a grand purpose to justify your existence. You being here, simply existing, is enough. _You are inherently enough._

[@breememe6192]

I know you were just making a comment, but I really needed to hear this today. Thank you.

[@LM-gm9yo]

@@breememe6192 I hope you're doing good. We might not know each other but I genuinely care about you and hope that you know that that you are not alone ❤ You have a space in this world and it matters. Never be afraid to take up that space ❤❤

[@TheDragonsRose]

It's a hard pill to swallow. That it's *OK* to just live. It's so complicated but so simple. You don't need to fulfill something in yourself to justify your existence, you can just be alive and appreciate life and there's nothing wrong with that.

[@berrybopforever]

You got me all sad now 😞

[@LM-gm9yo]

@@TheDragonsRose Exactly! :) Grind culture will tell you to make a name for yourself and be rich rich rich by the time you're 25 or else you're a waste of space and time. But it's important to remember that a life lived quietly is not a wasted life. At the end of the day, we will all end up 6 feet under. So in the meantime; find things and people that brings you joy and surround yourself with them. And whatever you think those things are; you are correct in that belief.

[@callindykid]

One of my favorite little details is when Joe was in the Hall of You, we see a part of his life when he's eating a slice of pie by himself in a diner and we interpret it as "how sad, he's eating alone". But during the flashback montage near the end, we see that same scene of him in the diner enjoying a slice of pie, but it's a happy memory. Perspective is everything.

[@supersucks]

perspective is everything 🤍

[@NickTemperistic]

Yep just cause someone is alone doesn't mean they are lonely.

[@NickTemperistic]

My Dad every Saturday goes to the same Mexican restaurant for lunch and never wants anyone to come with him. That's his thing for him.

[@Netsaver]

I feel that was because he was so focused on being part of the band with Dorthea that he didn't see it as a good memory for him it was insignificant at the time. But when he reflected on the memory with 22's memories, perspective and seeing it from another angle he realized, "Yes I was alone but that was a damn good pie I ate." he got a new appreciation for his memories which really came in when he finally realized what a spark really is, a desire to live.

[@AstoriaHestia]

yeah little bit sad they didn't kept it in. it's like Oak always say: a great lesson.

[@Loki_Loki01]

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

[@imakatperson6181]

“I’m sure the sound design is phenomenal in the theater.” I hate to tell you this but it never saw theaters when it was intially released 😢 This was released in 2020 during the pandemic on Disney plus, which is why you saw almost no marketing or news on it at the time. That’s why it’s so underrated.

[@LG_Hakubi]

They did release the pandemic released films in theatres earlier this year (24) though. I don't know how well they did, but it was a nice opportunity to have the "movie experience" with this and Turning Red (I didn't get the chance to see Luca). Hopefully they do it again ✨

[@alx_stafford8928]

Great thing is when 22 was drinking the drink on the subway and she says “it’s still half full” because she is at that moment seeing life as the “glass half full” instead of “Empty”. And enjoying everything around her. This movie is deep for sure!

[@juliewagner3023]

This was the first time I really noticed that line, and I was like 🥹 awww 22 is feeling so optimistic!

[@the_nikster1]

the fish and ocean story is so good because that was when the message of the movie clicked for me. in life, we are often so busy chasing a dream or a goal that we forget to stop and actually enjoy life once in a while. it's so simple yet so profound. Soul is one of the most underrated movies that Pixar has ever done. it is easily a 5/5 for me.

[@StoryTimewithMissAnna]

Back in the '90s I was 23 and getting off work and got attacked and knocked into a one-day coma that turned into a one-month hospital stay with hemorrhaging in my brain. I celebrate that day every year as a second birthday, and this movie came out of the blue to give me such a gut punch of emotions when I watched it the first time. It's so wild, when you really gain a new appreciation for life, and all the beauty of all the details and everything coming to sharp relief and you have much deeper appreciation for everything.

[@CR13777]

Glad you’re okay!

[@TheMess9898]

I love that at the new Pixar Hotel in Disneyland they have "Joe Gardner" playing the piano live in the lobby at times during the day. Magic.

I can't wait to visit one day 🤗

[@bamflyer]

I knew Oak was gunna connect with this one, watching his facial expressions and how locked in/ zoned out he was at the end was gold

[@thedefinitionisthis]

Man, this movie broke me watching it at home. Because it was released during the pandemic, it's kinda become this underrated gem. But man, it's so good. Maybe it's because the movie arrived at a time in my own personal life where I was becoming more self-reflective, or at least had me questioning what or why I was going about my life a certain way, but the movie just hit so close to home, and just helped me try to see life through a different lens. Also, that joke at the Knicks expense had me LOLing haha.

[@isaiahbaggett5014]

Some background: Jaime Foxx is exceptionally talented. He learned piano growing up in church. He also let Ed Sheeran stay on his couch for 6 weeks, gave him food and even gave him a few gigs to play well before his rise to stardom.

[@HiThereLindsey]

I always found that story a bit weird because Ed Sheeran's parents are rich! But good for him for making his own way.

[@aliciaa4859]

@ecs1100i think the person was more saying it’s weird his own parents didn’t support him, but i never heard this story! so cool, such a talented guy

[@nickmilo932]

There's KZbin clips of him telling the story​@@aliciaa4859

[@crystaladams8214]

I lost one of my sisters to cancer. My nephews nephews her, and when we watched this movie together, one of them had a "thinking face" throughout the movie. It wasn't until after the movie that I realized he was associating it with my sister. He asked, "Do you think that Pinkie (Rose) helped Saphira (my baby niece who was recently born street my sister passed) get her spark?" My heart. His mom, my sister, said maybe. He was happier afterward. We don't know what happens after life, but this was such a great movie to help my nephews process this a little better.

[@ray24051]

So sorry for the loss of your sister but thank you for sharing this story.

[@PacificEgg]

Very underrated movie IMO. I thought it was very emotional personally.

[@captironsight]

This movie is a modern Disney Sleeper. The detail brought back NY to me when I was a long ways away. It is a great film, for heart.

[@AmberyTear]

Ever since I was a kid, I was weirdly put off by people obsessed with some sort of one single purpose of life because it always seemed that they're... procrastinating on living their life out of fear of living it "incorrectly". Then in college I got stuck in that same hole for several years too. Till I realized that the purpose of life is just living it. That one simple epiphany fixed so many manufactured issues in my head and I've had a lot of inner peace ever since.

[@edwardjrobinson2]

Oak you were on point. That *IS* the world renowned Phylicia Rashad as the mother!

[@scarlettsugar8159]

Mason Quinn, keep up the "long" talks! I love watching/hearing people talk about things they're passionate about no matter the subject. Seeing people excited or moved is such a wonderful thing. Side note: I notice when Answer is really excited after a movie sometimes he has trouble getting his words out a little bit, which I find incredibly endearing and sweet (I do the same thing truth be told. Lol) So keep talking guys. I can't tell you how many times a video of y'alls had ended and I wish it had gone on longer. We all appreciate y'alls thoughts and introspection. Keep it up.

[@SchneiderRammGirl]

this 100% I look forward to their review comments afterwards just as much as their reactions to a film/show! ☺

[@justthej]

My favorite Pixar movie. Hit me in the feels big time and opened my eyes and allowed me to understand that a person's worth isn't defined solely by their accomplishments or the pursuit of a singular goal. Instead, it's about finding joy in the journey and in the relationships and experiences that shape who we are.

[@aliciaa4859]

One of my favorite bits of this movie is how when we first see the hall of Joe’s life and it’s all blue hued and there’s him sitting at a diner all alone. it looks pretty depressing. but when he’s at the piano at the end and he’s seeing his life, we see that clip again and it’s warm in it’s remembrance, because life’s all about perspective and how you choose to view yours. I also love that they don’t show the title credit until the end, because *thats* when Joe’s life really started love love loveeeee this movie

[@Caca-yq2di]

One of my favourite movies ever. I think learning to enjoy life is one of the most important things you can learn. Soul makes me cry every time I watch it. Also I totally relate to Oak in this reaction, I agree that the movie didn’t feel like a kids movie and more like a wake up call for adults

[@ArcaJ]

The original Jazz compositions, and mo-cap for the piano was done by Jon Batiste. Arguably one of the best modern Jazz and Modern classical composers in the world. Multiple Grammy Awards. This is a BAD DUDE!

I think this is the type of film kids should watch each decade.

[@john-paulcastro9709]

YES!! I'm so glad that y'all decided to react to this movie! As a former music teacher, I can say from experience that the opening scene of a jazz band class is one of the most realistic depictions of teaching a band that I've seen in film. I thoroughly enjoyed this film!

Y’all gotta watch “Ray” now that you’ve gotten a taste of Jamie Foxx’s musical talent. His performance in that movie is exceptional

[@redfoxakame]

Soul is my favorite Pixar film of all time (along with Inside Out), as a huge Pixar fan. This was released back in 2020 during pandemic and never in Theatres. Still, this garnered so many positive response and a lot of well-deserved awards. That's why you don't see it being mentioned often. But I loved this, I still love this film so much, and I'm very happy that you guys finally watched it! (It has the same director as Inside Out! ^^)

[@joshuawood2924]

It’s a good day when Badd Medicine uploads!! Been looking forward to this one

[@roxysdg334]

This movie was lost on many people because it was so heavy in the beginning. It was an unexpected aim movie and brilliant in my mind. It shows the beauty of the world and how much we just take our lives for granted. So glad you guys enjoyed it.

[@gailscrypto1536]

Its not just about the destination, its about enjoying the journey....that was my take on it :) i loved how they were able to tackle the idea of a soul, an afterlife, even soul creation without treading on the toes of upsetting any religions. an extremely difficult thing to do and the fact they did is a sign of amazing and conscientious writers

[@lynmariegm]

wow, didn't expect to cry at a rewatch of this. great reaction, guys :>

[@JeM130177]

Really loved the discussion after this one! Especially the stuff that Oak said. You guys are awesome 😊

[@SuperHeedictator]

You know, I was really at a bad place myself when I watched this video. Before that it's been since I've been trying to get the scholarship to another country, because without it I wouldn't be able to afford it. Then after years I finally accomplished it, then pandemic and the study at the uni in the city of my dreams wasn't as good anymore..then I graduated and didn't know what to do with my life and all the other stuff piled up and I fell into depression..Then this movie..When I saw his 'gallery of life' I felt such an impact..I thought what my gallery would be like..and it made me more depressed, but as the movie went on and that moment of realisation that came for Joe that instant came for me as well. It's been a while since I cried like that at that moment. This movie gave me a push that I needed to look at my life from another angle, to appreciate every moment of it. Of course, life is happening with all of us and from time to time mundane things get in the way so you forget all the realisations..then I come back to this movie, cry again and change my ways once more

[@HeidiBrown-hh5gy]

What’s really fun is if you go to the Pixar Hotel next to Disneyland, Joe Gardener plays piano daily in the lobby!

[@DaphneBourne]

Love this movie, and they made the perfect choice by letting Graham Norton voice Moonwind. That man's a mood!

[@ttvclovxes]

My girlfriend asked me what we were doing on Saturday night? I told her that I was going to watch Badd medicine react to the Soul movie (one of our all time favorite movies) and I predicted everything. I knew you guys would love it and I knew for a fact this would be one of oaks favorites!

[@smackjack78]

It’s been a few years since I last saw this film, and damn, is it as good as I remember! It’s got heart (lots of it). My favorite thing is how it interprets getting into the zone when you’re doing something. It’s just you, doing the thing you love so damn well without anything else plaguing your mind

[@Kristyy0260]

When I saw this on my feed I screamed YESSS. I’ve been waiting for this one. Such an emotional movie, I always tear up. Enjoy the little things, live your life for you, don’t let it pass by, if you wanna do something, go do it NOW. Don’t wait.

[@OneDarkMartian]

I absolutely LOVE this movie. It’s so heartfelt, beautiful, moving and thought provoking. A real gem in the Pixar crown.

[@BH-2023]

It is pretty hard for movies to make me cry. A lot of movies resonate with me, but very few genuinely touch me so deeply that I cannot help but to cry. This and Wall-E are two of those movies.

[@jimjimcherie]

So how I interpreted the movie: There is no grand purpose for most of us, there is no grand meaning of life, most of us won't do something that will put us in history books. So many people wait for their grand purpose to be happy, they're always waiting for the next thing, for that dream job, that person, "I can't wait for the weekend! I can't wait for the trip! I'll sure be happy then!" Life is about living. Most of the time, it is in the most mundane things that we find joy. People are always wanting, the lost souls are the people so full of desire they get lost. There's a poem by Robert Frost called "Fire and Ice", it goes "some say the world will end in fire, some say in ice, but from what I've tasted of desire I stand with those who favor fire, but if I have to perish twice, I think I know enough of hate to say that for destruction ice is also great and would suffice." Desire is one of the most destructive forces on Earth, we want we want we want, so much, that we're never happy. Life isn't about finding "your thing" most of us won't have that, life is about being alive. There is a quote from my favorite anime that I always resonate with: "You should enjoy the little detours to the fullest. Because that's where you'll find the things more important than what you want."

[@TheDaringPastry1313]

This movie is pretty dang emotional. Should check out another movie with a teacher that ends up teaching music called Mr. Holland's Opus from 1995. Also emotional and a very powerful film. The music from this movie in the afterlife areas and when Terry is on screen reminds me of the Tetris Effect game.

[@benvandermerwe4934]

👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🥃

[@gonzo6489]

Mr. Holland's Opus is so good! They showed it to us in elementary school and it may have influenced me to pick up the trumpet. The ending song is a banger!

[@supersucks]

Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross did the soundtrack (the electronic / tetris like music) for this film! They’re also the ones who did the Challengers Movie. Soul’s soundtrack is so good its in rotation in my playlist 🤍

[@wolffange90]

Soul is definitely one of Pixar’s best. Definitely resonated more to adults than kids for sure. Watched with my nieces and nephew who were all younger than 10 at the time and they semi picked up on some of the themes but not really.

[@calibadgerdude6082]

For sure. Especially middle aged men with a passion for music like me. XD I could have been Joe Gardner, his life and personality mirror mine to a startling degree. Never ended up doing music professionally, but I did eventually find myself in an artistically inspired field after rebooting my life and education in my late 30s and am much happier now nearing 50 than I ever was in my 20s or 30s.

[@Deboryanne]

[@alejandromonreal3592]

This movie doesn't get the praise that it deserves because I think it was released during the pandemic times when theaters were close and not open to the public, this movies got released on Disney+ so the profit wasn't really sure on how much it has earned but I could be wrong it has been a long while I watched this movie.

[@shirleydurr411]

A damn good movie that fell victim to the pandemic. Although many of us discovered it on cable, it's still a hidden gem that remains unseen by those who don't have reliable cable or can't afford Disney+.

[@bisvizstudio1242]

This movie really hits home for me as an aspiring 3D artist. I'm so obsessed with chasing my dreams and often sacrificed my relationship with people around me. Teach me to slow down for a while and appriciates life. Great shit. 10/10.

All of the piano animation was done with Jon Baptiste and Paul is voiced by Daveed Diggs from Hamilton!

[@mc_lara2230]

I watched this movie on the plane where i didnt feel like i had the freedom to really appreciate it. A month or so later, still thinking about it, i drove to my bfs house with a plan. He'd been in a complete rut, id say he was a 'lost soul' at this point and id been doing everything i could to help him. I drove to him, made him a cup of tea, ordered lunch, got him out of his bedroom and put him on the couch under his favourite blanket. Just getting out of his room was a big step at that point. We watched this film together and his entire mood flipped. He loved it. He was smiling, thanking me for completely turning around his day. It hasnt been completely linear since then, but he's getting better slowly and surely. I come back to this film when i feel like either of us needs the reminder again.

[@olli-lfe]

One of the best breakdowns by Oak so far 👍🏾👍🏾

[@Netsaver]

So a few fun things, notice that when the Jerry was explaining what a 'spark' was Joe was thinking of getting back to his body so he *completely* ignored what a spark was so he had no idea what a spark was till the end. Also Terry is actually a 'woman' I have it parenthesis because technically Jerry and Terry are genderless. The rat with the Pizza is a reference to the 'Pizza rat' meme where someone recorded a vid of a rat carrying a giant pizza slice into the new york subway. Oh one I forgot, when Terry says the count is off and Jerry goes 'the count hasn't been off in centuries' people theorize this refers to Jesus Christ and his resurrection.

Probably my favorite Pixar movie. When I watched this, it was new year's eve of 2020 and it hit hard, this was the first time I didn't see my family for Christmas nor New Year's and the feeling of someone passing away any day, really messed me up. Four years later, I watched it again with you and man, this was a slap in the face. I feel like I wasted all this time just to reach a goal, I've been so obsessed with an objective that I didn't realize every second I've spent here. Covid closed me a lot of doors and I felt that I needed to hurry things up, but now I see I got lost in my own head, and after the world shut down, I shut down from the world. What sucks is that even if I'm closer to my goal, I still didn't achieve anything. I thought I'd be happier and complete at this point in life, but the truth is, I'm lonelier than I've ever been.

[@AlbinoBlackMonkey]

This is one of my favorite Pixar movies. The message is so so deep. There's a huge thing to learn about just seeing every moment as special, you don't need the next achievement, just live :)

[@Elementarian]

This is why i adore Pixar. There are many different films to speak to different types of topics and people, and there's so much depth to a great many of their films that you can take away something personal, something deeper, Soul, Inside Out 1 & 2, Up, Finding Nemo, Wall-E, Ratatouille, Toy Story, etc. etc. etc.

I watched this movie recently and it really caused me to do some deep reflection. I just don't feel like i'm living a fulfilled life, but it's made me appreciate the small things that life brings. Something as small as the train arriving at the platform when I get there, finding a new piece of music that I like, or this bird that always sits on my window to rest

First time I watched this with my mom, she bawled her eyes out and was just so shocked at the existential crisis it ensued 😭 we discuss like you guys after every movie so the discussion afterwards was so enlightening!

This has to be the best animation I’ve seen. The textures coupled with the lighting make some scenes look real.

The music in this movie is soooo good. Trent Reznor of Nine Inch Nails did the film score and Jon Batiste did the jazz compositions, what a team. I’ve been a musician for over 40 years, started playing piano when I was 5, and what I really loved about this movie is how it depicts being lost in the “zone”. I’ve never seen a more accurate representation of what it feels like to lose yourself in that creative moment or elicited that feeling, though Mr. Holland’s Opus comes close. I was just about to hit 45 when this movie came out and that combination of music and that looming sense of life having passed you by really struck a chord with me. Not one of Pixar’s most popular or well known movies, it had the misfortune of releasing at the height of the pandemic lockdown, but I think for me it’s one of the most meaningful and impactful films they’ve ever made.

This movie hit me like a train when I first saw it. I am Joe. I always wanted to be an illustrator, but worked as a public school teacher for years. I am now working part time in another field so I can focus on my dream of becoming a professional illustrator. As someone pursuing this later in life (very much not in their 20s) it's VERY easy for that goal to become an obsession and to wrap up my personal value and identity in it. I watch this movie every year on New Years Eve since 2020 as a way to check myself and refocus on what it really means to live.
