"I don't know what I was put on this Earth to do..."
This is one of the many reasons why, I think, Soul has resonated so much with everyone, and is why it has been generating SO MUCH discussion.
The movie is an exploration of existentialism at it's finest.
(A thread)
- Passion vs Purpose
- Living up to expectations
- Being your own worst enemy
- Feeling "stuck"
- Taking the mundane for granted
- Not seeing our impact on others
Would you be satisfied if you died tomorrow?
These are universal themes we've all contemplated.
Perhaps it would have always done well; Pixar has a way of doing that.
But Soul was a particularly poignant way to cap off a year that has had literally every person in the world question some part of their existence.
It was exactly what we needed to give us all a little bit of hope, especially since we're seeing a light at the end of the tunnel.
It reminds us not to take things for granted, and enjoy life, even the mundane, to the fullest.
There's a lot I want to say about the business side of things, but I will refrain.
For now, let's leave it at Soul is exactly what you need to end this trash heap of a year.
It's a pallet cleanser and if you haven't, see it as soon as possible.
If you HAVE seen it, what'd you think of it?
