Soul on Disney Movie
By Jair Carrizal

Soul is a wonderfully made movie from the animation to the soundtrack to this being Pixar's first black lead but most importantly the story.

Soul tells the story of Joe, an aspiring Jazz musician, while he's taken on a journey through the great before. There, he meets the spunky creature named, 22, and accidently becomes a mentor for her. Unlike Joe, 22 has never been to earth so she doesn’t know what her purpose is "Is All This Living Really Worth Dying For?” -22. Everyone has a purpose to live even if we haven’t found it.

I wanted to see somebody else's perspective on this movie, so when asked, "What was your mindset after the movie?" TGB Student Irais responded with “It opened my eyes, showed life was worth living, surrounding yourself with the right people shows everyone has a purpose.” When she was asked, "What do you think about 22 feeling unpassionate?" She responded with, “I feel like everyone at some point is that way. I feel she was just passionate about living before she met Joe. She couldn’t find anything to enjoy, but, with Joe, she realized there's a lot more.” Thats the great thing about this movie's perspective. I originally answered these questions differently to Irais, when asked "What was your mindset after the movie?" I answered with “It definitely changed my perspective on life.” When asked, "What do you think about 22 feeling unpassionate?" I answered with “I have felt that way before; it’s really about trying new things and seeking new experiences.” However, after hearing her answers, I was left thinking more that it's not that I was wrong, but rather it’s that this movie makes you see a bigger picture.

If there's anything I have learned from this movie it's that life is a journey and just like Joe said I'm Going To Live Every Minute Of It.
