Soul
man this hit me right in my soul
sometimes life feels like its just existence; wandering and surviving. searching for purpose or love, something to make you feel alive. but you never stop living, as long as your lungs pump your alive. it can be so easy to sweep yourself away looking for a reason to be here, but you’re here whether or not you have one.
the fish story was delivered amazingly by angela basset. really sold that feeling that no matter if your living your dreams as a jazz player or living as a miserable middle school teacher, you’re alive. the world isn’t your oyster, its a plate you need to fill, whether its your dreams or a 9-5 you need food. you can be on top of mount everest, if you feel lonely, unsatisfied or missing; it doesnt matter. the beauty of life isnt dreams, love, sport or breakfast, its fufillment. its not something you feel, its something you live, something you walk in.
tina fey stood out. really sold the journey of emptiness, to the discovery that no matter how putrid the world feels, life isnt the world; its inside you festering and thriving.
this is a film that touches you, massages you into the world and life of it. whether your purpose is jazz, cooking, or just finding connection in an earth so divided. its not wrong if it makes you feel right, whether it leaves you staring at an empty fridge or on top of a 8 story mansion, feeling fulfilled is more important than anything else.
beautifully made, pixars greatest film.
