"Regular old living" scene - Soul (2020)

[@harmonicajay91]

The pecan pie part is a nice callback. The last time he thought about that, we saw him sitting alone and then he said "my life was wasted". But then we get that scene here and it's not one of loneliness and regret. It's of him enjoying a good slice of pie in a diner.

[@Bebe_ASMR]

Omg you just made me cry harder 😭❤️

[@gemtail3125]

Because, instead of looking at the scene from an outside perspective with 22, he sat and thought about exactly what he felt in the moment. Yeah, sure, seeing a middle aged man in a diner sitting alone eating pie may sound depressing and lonely... but no one ever seems to consider that he was just a guy enjoying some pie.

I once was working a hard product launch in another city away from my family alone. One evening after a long day...I struggled back to the hotel through an icy sleet storm...and went to dinner at a Cracker Barrel and was lucky enough to get a table by the fire. My God was that a memorably enjoyable meal. A good days work, a warm place to eat decent food...hot cider with cream. A decade later I still enjoy that memory.

I disagree, I think Joe talking to 22 and revealing what a spark is is the climax. It revealed to 22 and the audience the purpose of a spark, brought 22 out of heroic BSOD, and finally convinced her to go to earth. This scene is definitely the beginning of the rising action though.

When I first watched this film, I was deep into depression, just past my lowest point. I genuinely think this scene was a turning point in it. It seems silly, that just a movie could have such an effect on me, but I think it did. I sobbed until I couldn't anymore when I first saw this scene, because it made me realize how wonderful, how amazing, how *beautiful* regular life can be. That despite all the bad things, there are some good things too that are worth living for. It wasn't immediate, but after I saw this movie - saw this scene - I started getting better. By summer, my depression was basically gone. And now, over a year later, I still cry until I cannot anymore when I see this scene, if only because of the memories it brings up.

[@vijant1395]

Even before I saw this scene I believed in this deeper truth….I would often tell my friends and family that divinity isn’t found in our temples and churches, or scriptures or sermons of priests….it’s found in our every day lives….and like this scene shows most the time we fail to see it….divinity lies in the comforting embrace of a friend, in a warm smile on a stranger’s face,quiet time spent by a smooth swaying lake, the patter of raindrops on an autumn day, in the first born cries of a baby being born…of that £3 pizza you had to share because that’s all you had, in your generous feeding of the hungry and homeless,in a piece of music that warms your heart, in the rejoice of the sharing of other’s happiness around you, in your helping hand to a broken or heavy soul…..never take for granted the every day opportunity life gives you to be and experience that what we call divine…🙏🏻

I remember when this movie came out. I just got out of Major surgery. I was in the worst depression I have ever felt in my life.

Two years later if people were to ask me what I what to do I say I want to live simple and be happy.

I think what also really brings this scene home are the expressions on Joe's face as he realizes more and more what he was missing and how good his life really was. It wasn't a waste like he thought. When he got that phone call, he focused only on the fact that he may have a chance for the gig when he should have focused on Curly's words that his class was the only reason he went to school. He made a huge impact on a kid who didn't care to get an education and helped him through.

[@eltonyescas5425]

The things in Joe's pocket that 22 collected, while in his body, throughout the day were a samara leaf, a pizza crust, a piece of a bagel, a lollipop, a spool of thread and a bus pass card. Just those things alone show Joe that there's more to his life than music. Especially the samara leaf. As that's what made 22 wanna live on earth. As evidenced in the part when Joe and 22 are outside of The Half Note club and a samara leaf flies off a tree and lands in Joe's hand. And 22 looks at it with amazement.

The second I saw this scene, I connected with it. I don’t know if it’s depression or what, but every day I find myself looking back on past moments just like this montage. Also similarly, as well as many others do I’m sure, I have certain songs that take me back to those moments, whether I heard said song during that moment, or it just reminds me of it. The thing is, these nostalgic instances that I go back to aren’t “important” at all, they’re all just regular old living instances. Whether it’s staring at the night sky, riding in the car with my mom, or going to a creek with my grandpa, I hear these songs and instantly get sad wishing for those moments again. I could never explain the feeling to anyone, but this scene manages to show it. While many people connect with this scene with joe realizing that there’s no true purpose in life, I connect in that 20 seconds of joe recalling the little moments, all for it to end with the galaxy, showing how small everything really is, and why we should cherish those tiny moments. I’d give anything to have them back.My favorite scene in any movie.

This scene does something to me every time, when the camera cuts to the city, and then the world, and then the stars in space. I can’t describe it. I have MDD/anxiety and struggle with mental health issues. I am constantly reminding myself that life isn’t about happiness or achieving some grand purpose or goal. Yes, those are worthwhile for many people. But the experience of life itself is beautiful beyond comprehension. We don’t exactly know why it is so. We are born, we live, and then we die. Who we are, how we treat others, the moments in time where we feel like it isn’t worth it is when we can find peace and strength through this realization: we are born of the stars. What else can we possibly ask for?

Toy Story has been my favorite film since I was a little baby, and although I wanted it to stay that way forever, I must admit this is by far Pixar’s best ever creation and outstanding filmmaking in general, not just for an animated film. Truly grateful to have been able to witness this and I recommend every single person to watch the film.

A few years ago, I was a studying in London for my degree, and those were some of the best years of my life, wholly because of the people I met and the places we went to. One day me and my boyfriend at the time went to a beach town w some friends and I remember so strongly the scene of the two of us just standing there, looking out at the sea together. When I saw this for the first time, I was blown away by how beautiful the little moments of Joe's life was, but that one shot of him at the beach broke me so much more than anything else in any movie I'd seen. I was so caught up in the job hunt and assignments and my career and all that and remembering all the little things, the moments I shared with my friends, it really showed me how wonderful a life I'd lived so far.

[@eclectichandsproductions]

You know how there's certain movies that only need to be watched a small handful of times? The ones which have really deeper meanings to them? This movie is one of them. I watched this during the pandemic on Christmas Day, literally on the same day it was released on Disney+. I was blown away by the incredible score performed by Jon Batiste, when he was still the music director on the Late Show-Colbert. But just as much amazed at the storyline Soul presents, being on living your life to the fullest--enjoying even the most mundane things we take for granted. Fast forward less than a few years later, I was going through a rough patch (personally) for many reasons I won't say here. I will say that this clip had came up in my feed during mid-2023 and the one where he's outside talking with Dorothea after the show at the club. I remember thinking about the profound effect the message it had on me, which I'd talk about with my therapist at the time. She conquered and gave me some really productive tools to understanding how to interpret them for my own life. The answer? Living authentically, a recurring theme that played out during the several months that I went to those sessions Heck, from my therapy sessions, it helped me realize that I like the most mundane things that are just "normal." Simple things like sitting at my kitchen table with a cup of coffee, mowing the lawn, doing the dishes, vacuuming, etc., make me feel good. I know it might be just second nature to other folks but it's those moments that contribute to living authentically. Watching this scene with the bagel, pizza crust, leaf, yarn, paper, and lollipop while Joe is reflecting and improvising on the piano brought tears to my eyes. On one hand, melancholy, but on the other, sadness. Reflecting from when I first saw the movie, knowing how my life has changed. Experiencing both good and challenging times. The joy of playing my music, working, getting a new puppy, going back to school, buying my first house, awesome gigs, graduating, dating, etc. But the flip side of challenges at work/school, rejection, unsuccessful ventures in music, lack of sleep, family confrontations, losing four family members in the span of a year--which included losing my Aussie in a tragic hit-and-run accident, dealing with toxic individuals--school/work, etc. I know this is very long-winded but this is what comes to my mind after watching this in the middle of the day. I hope that this could be of interest to those reading this comment. Cheers!

[@ud1402]

It is sensational how each of Pixar's movies hold a really deep meaning. The imagination and the capability of delivering such philosophies through animations(mad generally for kids) is worth noting. Not just Soul, but Coco, Ratatouille and most of the others are conveying something way deeper than mere entertainment...

[@FrankMontes24]

I watched this film during my deep depression phase. I had a mental breakdown that resulted in driving away someone I was deeply in love with mostly because I was experiencing what Joe was experiencing. I believed I had no true purpose except for the things I wanted in life. I almost killed myself over the fact that I was unhappy. This scene alone got me thinking about how I was wasting time obsessing over one little thing when there was a whole world I was missing out on. This scene besides Shrek dying in Shrek Forever After or Carl and Ellie’s relationship at the beginning of Up is the only one to make me start tearing up. To see 22 finally find her spark after actually living through Joe’s view really struck a chord with me. I’m grateful for Peter Doctor for making me feel this way again

Just finished watching Soul. I wanted to see it in theaters, but obviously, Covid happened. I can't believe it took me so long to watch this movie. Everything about it is just amazing. I like how it's just the little things. Little things that even had me thinking "life's pretty neat," in the moment. Like watching the sky on a train (I've seen a couple of sun rises on my 1hr commute to work), seeing leaves fall, listening to music with someone you love, seeing just how big the ocean is, and merely enjoying a slice of pie. I'm trying to pass my Network+ Exam. And I keep thinking (and still do to an extent) that life will get better. That'll be my "I made it!" moment. All my problems solved, everything leading up to this moment. But I'm already in the ocean, aren't I?

It took me 60 years to learn that God's greatest gift to man is simply the present moment.

This is so breathtakingly beautiful. The music and the animation is just perfect. *chef’s kiss*

Joe se aferró a sus sueños de ser el mejor pianista, pero de olvido de lo más importante, disfrutar de la vida

You can always enjoy living!

Pixar and Disney have become synonymous recently- but…. This is Pixar. Disney lost its magic years ago… this… this isn’t magic. It’s a miracle. An experience. A reminder that every breath you take, you pulse, you grow, your spirit and body alike digest. A single moment is a lifetime well spent.

1:55 Just want to note that the current iteration of 'Soul' on Disney+ in the UK depicts Joe writing his name on the board rather than a time signature on a staff.

I have it on Blu Ray in the US and it also says his name

[@MeansofIntrigue]

@@brianwin I've been meaning to investigate why this is. Thanks for reminding me.

[@db5094]

​@@MeansofIntrigueever find out?

[@MeansofIntrigue]

@@db5094 I didn't. Still seems an innocuous change.

I really love this movie. Particularly when it came out. Being cooped up due to quarantine, it helped to give a reminder of the little things in the outside world. The small things.

[@Mig226]

This movie definitely hit me deep, and made me appreciate my life much more

[@nunoneves71]

I think this is the best Disney movie ever made.

[@paul-simon1280]

I think this is one of the most beautiful and most emotional scenes I've ever seen

[@Annabelleee7777]

I don’t cry at movies but this is an exception

[@XKLOSANGELES]

This film has one of the best themes in Disney/Pixar history. Beautiful 🙏🏼

When you live in New York, there's an expectation that "You make it here, you make it anywhere" where you feel flawed for being exceptional. As a New Yorker, this scene speaks to me so much.

[@mirshodnarzullaev3774]

Pixar made it again, made me cry second time after Up in 2009. Now I can’t decide which film is better Up or Soul. Both of them hit so hard… can’t explain

[@JonathanTurnerTurner]

This movie changed my perspective on life. For a long time I felt like the lost souls, bogged down by work and expectations. And then I realized that for anyone who truly loved me, the only expectations to have would be for me to be happy.

[@dsrs219]

The main thing I got from the movie was that being alive in general existing in itself is something marvellous to begin with. That the small things mean a great deal and that the simple things open our eyes and mind towards true greatness and wonder.

[@michaelforlife1032]
