    The people at Pixar are master storytellers, and in recent years have been tackling some increasingly mature themes with movies like Inside Out and Coco. Their latest movie, Soul, starring Jamie Foxx and Tina Fey, tackles the subject of what happens to the soul after we die. These are still kid’s movies, right?
    Soul does raise some questions though. Like what kind of injury did Joe sustain when he fell into the manhole? How is his body totally fine when he jumps back into it later? Why aren’t any of the other souls freaking out about their deaths? Is Joe really the first one to freak out and push on the wall a little? What happened to the soul of the doctor he impersonated? Or the cat for that matter? What kind of a message is that ending sending? Why is Marie Antoinette only a floating head?
    To answer all these questions and more, step inside the Pitch Meeting that led to Pixar’s Soul! It’ll be super easy, barely an inconvenience.

    The real-world stuff actually looks way more interesting to me than the Great Before stuff... and I kinda thought the moral of the story would be him realizing that his real dream WAS to teach the next generation about music, since he had spent so much time with 22 mentoring her.

    • @mattyt1961
      @mattyt1961 Před 2 lety +11

      If they made it clear that he chose teaching over everything else, then yes, but since his choice at the end is ambiguous, the moral to the story becomes the ending you give him.
      If you think that he stays a teacher then he does and the moral/message becomes about the reluctant teacher who inspires the music.
      If you think he becomes the Jazz musician he dreamed of, then the moral becomes about never giving up on your dreams regardless of what people around you think (the characters mother)
      Both of these are justified in the film

      People “finding a life in teaching” is such an overused trope though. And regarding the point you made about how “learning that you can’t always achieve your dreams” is pretty well covered in other media such as Zootopia and StardewValley and is starting to get stale. It would also conflict with the more unique message of the movie which is that when you spend your entire life chacing an endeavor, finally completing that endeavor isn’t going to erase all of the problems in your life. And just because he had a pretty good connection with one child doesn’t mean he would be an incredible teacher. I could use the same logic to say that the ending should’ve been that he became a parent because of all of that time he spent with 22. But that’s the beauty of this ending. Your teacher idea could’ve happened, my hypothetical parent idea could’ve also happened. The moral is to just live and to make sure to go wherever the road takes you and make sure to smell the roses because those roses will smell better than wherever that road takes you.

      @@darrenmacqueen9884 I feel like him staying dead or even in limbo would’ve ruined the message because it would essentially say “make sure to live your life to the fullest but hey you can die whenever you want” the message is about living in the moment, and in order for him to live the life he has learned to live through his time with 22 he needs to have a second chance. If he just stayed in the past then it would conflict the message of living in the moment by making him quite literally live in the past, a massive over correction to him living in the future at the beginning.

      Wasn't the ending ambiguous, though? I thought the point of the ending is that we didn't know what he ended up deciding.

      I think you missed the point of the movie. Or maybe it didn’t really need to be shown. Towards the end when Joe played the piano, he remembered all the things that made him happy that wasn’t playing on the piano, including teaching.
      So I’d imagine that he went back to inspire the kids. Pixar’s message is to live life, not necessarily be obsessed with a purpose. So I guess they made that part open ended
