Soul (Pete Docter, 12/25/2020 on Disney+) • Page 4

This movie truly makes me wanna give guitar and bass another shot

 

That’s funny, I thought this had similarities to Inside Out. I didn’t know it was the same director.

My 4 year old wasn’t really into it but I think he’s too young for this one anyways.

 

Yeah that makes sense. My sister has two godsons around 10-12 and we were trying to figure out if this would connect with them or not. This one definitely feels skewed a bit older than Inside Out. Not a good or bad thing necessarily, just something we were pondering

 

This definitely doesn’t feel like a movie that would hold Children’s attention. This was pretty terrific though, and I love how Pete Docter grapples with these bigger questions in this medium.

 

I’ll be over at 8 bro

 

Yeah this was great unsurprisingly

 

This may be my favorite Pixar film.

 

Came here to say this.

 

Also had no clue Trent and Atticus did the soundtrack but when Terry Time started playing I immediately thought it was them. I feel like theres a track that sounds exactly like it on all their soundtracks. That chord progression and synth tone is distinctly them.

 

This was good. Went in without watching any trailer/reading about any storyline as it's hard to think Pixar could do wrong. 8 year old enjoyed it as well... but her, me, and my wife were all... this is a bit too much like Inside Out at times.

 

Really loved this. Definitely top tier Pixar for sure

 

Really good! I’m glad Connie is sticking with the trombone. My wife was a little upset we didn’t see where 22 ended up, but I’m sure that’s the point.

 

damn this was good. only (very subjective) problem is that daveed diggs wasn’t in this as long as i hope but most everything else was superb. really sucks how none of us could REALLY take in the visuals/score with a theater to watch it in

 

^^^ The colors in the soul world were gorgeous

 

Fairly sure she became head writer for a sketch comedy show on NBC

 

Cried like a giant baby. Wonderful stuff. Laughed a ton too, Terry was unexpectedly hilarious. Didn’t love that it ended with Joe getting a second chance at the last second but y’know.... Disney.

 

that ending had me upset

it was just so fast

 

Ending doesn't really bother me

Joe was ultimately ready to move on. He made the choice. That's what's important. And giving him another chance doesn't undermine any of that. Sure, it would've also been fine to just have him go to the great beyond and end it there but idk if everything else is the same why not go with the happier ending?

 

Well, because Joe finally accepting the great beyond as a result of his gratitude to have ever experienced the gift of existence at all is a much more fitting ending for all of the themes in the movie. I get why he got a second chance, because Disney is not about to have a movie where a child walks out of the theater going “where did Joe go”, but it definitely felt like a curveball after everything that preceded it.

But to clarify, I’m fine with the ending because the rest was fantastic

 

Well, I agree with both points above. It could’ve certainly be a more risky and poignant ending, but I don’t believe the way it ended detracts much from the themes. So it’s a best case scenario for this situation.

which grows into the question, can we forgive certain plot decisions when it relies on the audience the story is for? I don’t know, I can forgive it but that mileage will vary

 

I think this is the best compliment one could give this movie and it warms my heart.

I love that Pixar will tackle subject matter like this (and Inside Out). I also appreciate it’s a little less hit you over the head weepy as the usual Pixar fare. You end it feeling good and grateful which is exactly what we all need in 2020.

 

yeah the Knicks joke was hilarious hah

 

Burn down James Murphy’s home

 

the knicks deserve it all

 

Just finished Wonder Woman and going to watch this next! Excited to see all the good reviews. And to watch a new movie in 4K since HBO Max decided to screw a ton of Roku users today
