What did the soul say?

Soul's film tells the story that Joey Gunnar, who dreams of becoming a jazz pianist, meets the world-weary soul 22 and goes back to the real world hand in hand to find the meaning of life.

Soul is an animated film produced by Disney Pixar Animation Studio and directed by Pete Docter and Cape Bowles. The film tells a wonderful life journey: Joe Gardner, a middle school music teacher who loves jazz, pursued his dream tirelessly and finally got the dream opportunity to perform on stage.

But because of an accident, Joey's body almost died, while his soul strayed into a fantastic place beyond human experience-"Daqian". It turns out that "birthplace" is a unique space where all souls existed before the earth.

Here, human self-awareness was given before the birth of life, and only when each soul finds its own "spark" can it devote itself to the earth. It was here that Joey, determined to return to the earth, met a lonely, precocious and world-weary soul "22", which lingered here for a long time because he could not find his own "spark".

In a strange experience, Joey is connected with the fate of "22" and they return to the earth. They experienced a mysterious and wonderful life journey together and began to reconstruct the value and significance of their existence.

Comments on Saul's films;

Although Soul's story is an unsatisfactory bowl of warm-hearted chicken soup, Pixar still cooks a fresh breath, which is not too sticky or deliberately eaten, achieving a balance between technical special effects and story in the selection of materials for this book. Through the unique world outlook and various metaphors, the film discusses the essential issues such as how a person forms himself, how an individual forms a belief and behavior system, and how everyone judges the truth and meaning of life.

Sincere emotion is an important element in Pixar's films, and Soul is equally touching. Through an adventure that spans the spiritual world and the real world, he makes philosophical and warm thinking about life and self.
