SOUL is THROWING me through a LOOP!! | Soul (2020) REACTION

[@videohistory722]

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

[@MimiTalisaa]

I think that what got 22 her pass was definitely life itself. Her purpose was to live. She hated life before she actually got to live but ended up having a passion for living. All of the little things

[@YourLocalToolShed]

I love that and it’s true but the unborn souls get their spark when they are ready to live, 22 was afraid of living until she experienced it and then she was ready. Not trynna sound rude just sharing what I read about the movie. But yeah the spark/pass isn’t a specific thing it’s just when they are ready for life on earth

[@calliemyersbuchanan6458]

THE PIE SCENE THOUGH!!!! The first time we see it, it's from the perspective of falling short of grandeur, as a pathetic moment of him eating alone. But when we see it again during the flashback sequence, we see the same moment in a more focused and intimate light. He's enjoying the CRAP out of that pie and that small moment was actually a very positive one and not the negative one we originally perceived it as!! Sometimes it's worth zooming out and looking at the big picture of our lives and our place in the world, but man, there's also real value in zooming in and truly appreciating the micro moments and simple pleasures we so often take for granted!

[@a-supernova-girl]

To be fair, Mother Teresa was actually a pretty awful person. I'm glad 22 made her cry.

[@santiagoavelicavillada4977]

THIIIIIIIIIIIS 👆👆👆👆

[@daeity1]

someone spill the tea on her PLSSS

[@a-supernova-girl]

@@daeity1 I highly recommend Respect The Dead's video on her. That was the beginning of my journey of knowledge on her, and her wretchedness.

[@daeity1]

@@a-supernova-girl will do! thank you sm !!

[@stephocampo6391]

Same with Ghandi, he was really into young girls

[@elviiralehtonen1604]

You being traumatized after the cat's soul turned up on death escalator😂😂😂GURL ME TOOOO

[@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.

[@videohistory722]

The Spark isnt your reason to live, its the reason you WANT to live

[@michaelcheng9987]

Very aptly put! Couldn't find a way to encapsulate like that myself, so thank you.

[@victoria_m13]

YESSSSSSS

[@videohistory722]

Love the little touch where they don't show the title card until the very end, to signify that's when his life finally starts

[@kay-jay1581]

20:12 and that’s why 22 is stuck in the U seminar. She is literally in a catch 22. A sort of paradox. Something can’t be shown they have to be experienced. But she couldn’t get her spark because she was too afraid of experiencing earth.

[@MiArcangel]

What's a catch 22?

[@videohistory722]

20:22 typically their mentor would be a chef, someone that HAS tasted food. For most souls, thats enough. 22 needed more.

[@ax.olotls]

This movie quite possibly saved my life. I had a really traumatic thing happen to me about 4 months before lockdown started, so I was really taking that time alone for a lot of introspection and just figuring things out. Then when this movie came out, it really reframed how I saw life again. It's really not about this one overlooming purpose because people don't have just one purpose. We're meant to be and experience so many things in life. And even with the bad, that's meant to teach you and help you grow. And anytime I really struggle with that, I've gotten into the habit of thanking myself for continuing because so many beautiful things have happened in my life since then. I'm 21 now and I'm so grateful to myself that I never let that stupid boy in high school ruin my self worth

[@isabelmincy8752]

Oh girl this SPOKE to me. I’m 21 too and feel the same way about this movie. It reawakened something in me when I felt my life getting stuck

[@Rouis-ht6bh]

Literally, I’m 16 and this reaction video is my first time seeing the movie too and wow. I’ve almost ended it countless times over the past 3 years but this video and movie spoke to me. I’m glad you’re doing better

[@Peace210ve]

37:45 THIS!! (I’m bawling w you rn lol) you stole the words right out of my mouth. How rare and beautiful it is that we even exist, on this tiny speck of a planet in a vast and endless galaxy. So many people live in fear thinking that they need a purpose, that there’s a reason why they were born and spend the rest of their lives trying to find it. But honestly just being here is enough. Stop chasing after fame and money. Look at the sky, explore the natural beauties of this planet. Bc it’ll all be gone soon. When we die we won’t leave a lasting legacy anywhere, because in a million years every trace of you and I will be gone and buried. Just allow yourself to feel, to see, to smell and to taste, to touch. Our existence is almost literally impossible and yet we were given the privilege to be here. People get so wrapped up in the human-constructed concepts that they forget to actually stop and enjoy life

[@sophiaconsidine4146]

When I was having a particularly hard time and first started therapy, this is the movie my therapist told me to watch. It’s so healing

[@DeviMayCryTTV]

This movie breaks me every time! We focus so much on getting to one day and then the next but not taking a moment to recognize those little pockets of joy that comes from just every day living. The shot of his mom washing his little hand, or playing for his ailing father. OMG just punch in the feels 🥲

[@kristianbanks6450]

❤We often take life for granted. A lot of us are so blessed to even be alive right now. So many people have lost their lives too early life isn’t perfect but it’s so beautiful and so precious. Live your life to the fullest and appreciate the small thing in life. 🥹 this movie’s message is so beautiful that I think everyone can relate too. I love this movie and I always cry during that montage as Joe plays the piano. What a wonderful movie. Thank you so much for watching!

[@21st.centurygirl29]

You HAVE to watch 'Anastasia' AND ‘Zootopia’ AND 'Sinbad: the legend of the seven seas' (if you haven't watched them already) (i’m begging u)

[@wifflewaffle5006]

Omg Sinbad 🥺❤️

[@wyntermassie7027]

Yes, zootopia please!!

[@andrewmartin2567]

Yes!

[@kitty3999]

I never saw Sinbad as a child, maybe some trailers but nothing properly. But when I saw it a few years back, omg I am in love. Can't believe I didnt see it till recently.

[@daeity1]

SINBAD

[@CleoVonGem]

Diagnosed with major depression, generalized anxiety, cptsd, autism. Been through more than my share of traumatic events/abuse, being told my entire life that "I'm not good enough"... this movie repeatedly saves me whenever my brain randomly decides it wants to off itself. I relate to 22 so intensely, I got defensive the first time I watched this. I didn't let it in. Then the 2nd watch, I had that existential moment and cried for hours. Regret at letting myself believe the literal mental illness was right, that the bad things that happened to me over and over somehow made me "less than". Hope that maybe I did deserve life, that maybe things wouldn't turn out shit. This movie flips that switch in my brain, allowing me to continue living for awhile, until the darkness descends again. It's not a great solution, but finding something that works even temporarily means everything to me. 💜 Thank you SO MUCH for making a video on Soul. I'm glad you liked it, got what you need from it.

[@Zale__]

Our grand, divine, purpose in this world is to live life and live it abundantly, not in excess of unnecessary things like money, lust, and fame, but in abundance of things that matter: mercy, love, joy, justice, and faithfulness. Things like this.

[@nudgificator]

Love that this is the next reaction after Moana, given that Terry and Grandma Tala are voiced by the same actress.

[@imhereandthereandeverywhere]

You NEED to watch paranorman, you'll love it!!!

[@mr.g255]

This film really hit me hard and watching you reacting to this was the same way that I reacted. Tears girl 😭

[@ImGonnaBeAStarr11]

18:14 THE CAT’S SOUL ON THE CONVEYOR IS TRAUMATISING‼️🚨🚨😭😭NO THANKS

[@elio8425]

The director who made this also made inside out! (and Up) He studied Philosophy (but mostly art and cartoon) that’s why most of his work is on a deeper level

[@karmatickenny]

The first time I watched this movie was when I was a junior in college at probably the lowest emotional down point of my life; I was stressed from work, classes, my studies, and family life, and everything felt like a 'when it rains, it pours' moment. One day I sat down when my roommate was gone, watching this movie in the dark on a cold, rainy afternoon; the line, "I'm just afraid that if I died today that my life would have amounted to nothing," hit me SO hard. I remember having to pause the movie simple to let myself cry for a little while. The entire point of this movie, the idea that we are meant to simple live, to feel our complex emotions, and ENJOY how we live, shifted my perspective just a tad. Needless to say, I've long since graduated, and it still hits every time.

[@Rouis-ht6bh]

I put your videos in the background while I draw, and I’d never seen this movie but had heard the fish quote and was interested. This made me cry and lowkey gave me a bit of inspiration to keep living, even if it’s only for a bit. What a beautiful movie and I love your commentary

[@emefbe]

discovered your channel in december and I love it so much, quickly became one of my favorite reaction channels. you're so light-hearted, genuine and fun to watch, thanks for the content and i hope 2025 is wonderful to you

[@Kllyec]

the way i was sobbing at the end with you cause it’s been a while since ive seen this… it’s such a deep movie for kids but it’s probably one of my favourite pixar films ever. ahhhh tears down my face!

[@Lenci_of_Hazelnut]

Niall's reactions are so endearing, I just wanna hug him while we both cry over these damn Disney movies

[@Reaver9029]

Loved this reaction on Patreon so happy it's on youtube as well xxx

[@videohistory722]

Fun fact: the IRL middle school band is WORKING at sounding bad because they were actually too good!

[@zoew_]

oh yeah i already know youre gonna love this one! its actually super underrated. we moved on too fast from this one

[@Biaso1997]

Oh this movie! We often take things for granted, thinking that living implies that we need a purpose to be successful or to achieve things, when the purpose of life is to live it to its fullest and to appreciate it.❤

[@flowersinapril4952]

Loooove this movie! This movie is like a shr00m trip, opening your mind up to the reality and possibilities of your own life. Insane. Hate it and love it. Glad you had to chance to watch!

[@virgilsreality4830]

i still remember watching this when it came out, with my friend - we were each other's social distance buddies (as we were supposed to reduce our social interactions to a minimum; both of us living alone) - and it just got us so deep in the feels with how unexpected the message was. absolutely wonderful movie

[@Catwithatieeee0]

This movie never fails to make me cry 🥹

[@LapizISPerturbed]

[@MiArcangel]

I wanted to learn how to play Violin when I was a kid, I told my cousin and he said that was for gays so I got scared and didn't ask my mom anymore 😢 now when I remember I think what if... Children are very influential so be careful what you say to them.

[@JeM130177]

Oooh good timing. I just got back from the dentist and need a distraction until I can feel my face enough to eat 😂

[@jaimieolivier3577]

Hi Niall,FOR THE LOVE OF EVERYTHING THATS GOOD PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE REACT TO RISE OF THE GUARDIANS YOU WILL LOVE IT!!!!

[@silentghurl1000]

I love this movie so much coz it was my belief and morals literally showed in a movie. Thank you for reacting to it!! Join the crying club! PS:- Have you considered reacting to Brother bear if you havent seen it before?

[@whitewolf7075]

At 23:10, this is how I feel a lot of the time because I own and love two rats. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve told people I have them as pets and then they talk about feeding their snakes and watching rats die or saying my rats should die. They are my children, I’ve had them all since they were 3 weeks old. I would fight my cat babies to save them. I think I started to like rats because everyone else hated them but they were kind and misunderstood, like me.

[@brandonphoummany9668]

Inside Out 2??

[@isabellahoward710]

you gotta react to onward!

[@angierico4342]

Love u Niall, thanks for listening to our recomendations (⁠✿⁠^⁠‿⁠^⁠)

[@kaydentarpley9850]

Early for once!!! I love this movie I'm so happy you reacted to it!! I relate to 22 not wanting to be on earth when they had pretty much everything there already but not being able to taste is sad. Please react to Dragons Race to the Edge from the How to Train your Dragon series (set in between 1 and 2 gives context for 2 like how flight suit wad made and how Stoick met his dragon) or Fright Krewe ( DreamWorks animation show) when you have a chance please!

[@jeanbot]

So good!

[@sannysan3476]

Love the reactions! If you love wholesome animated movies, you should watch Studio Ghibli movies! I personally love Spirited Away and Howl's Moving Castle. Their movies are all available on max :)
