More on SOUL (2020):
"Soul," a poignant animated film from 2020, directed by Pete Docter and co-directed by Kemp Powers, follows the story of Joe Gardner, a middle-school music teacher with a passion for jazz, voiced by Jamie Foxx. Joe gets the opportunity he's been waiting for when he lands a gig to play with a renowned jazz musician. However, a mishap lands him in "The Great Before," a place where souls develop personalities before heading to Earth. Through his journey, Joe encounters 22, a soul voiced by Tina Fey, who is cynical about the human experience. Together, they explore what it means to have a soul and the essence of living.
The film delicately balances existential themes with heartwarming moments as Joe and 22 navigate through spiritual realms while intertwined with humor and insightful dialogues. Visually stunning, "Soul" showcases unique animation styles to portray the contrast between the earthly realm of New York City and the ethereal plane of "The Great Before." Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross deliver a memorable jazz-infused score that complements the narrative, driving emotional depth throughout the film.
With its introspective narrative, "Soul" prompts viewers to contemplate life's purpose, the pursuit of passions, and the simple joys of existence. Through Joe's journey to rediscover his zest for life and 22's reluctant yet poignant exploration of humanity, the film offers a profound reflection on what truly makes life fulfilling. "Soul" received critical acclaim for its thought-provoking story, exceptional animation, and powerful voice cast performances, solidifying its place as a modern classic in the realm of animated cinema. Feel the emotional resonance and embark on a journey of self-discovery with "Soul."
