Über diesen Film

What is it that makes you...YOU? Pixar Animation Studios' all-new feature film SOUL introduces Joe Gardner (voice of Jamie Foxx) – a middle-school band teacher who gets the chance of a lifetime to play at the best jazz club in town. But one small misstep takes him from the streets of New York City to The Great Before – a fantastical place where new souls get their personalities, quirks and interests before they go to Earth. Determined to return to his life, Joe teams up with a precocious soul, 22 (voice of Tina Fey), who has never understood the appeal of the human experience. As Joe desperately tries to show 22 what's great about living, he may just discover the answers to some of life's most important questions. Directed by Academy Award® winner Pete Docter ("Inside Out," "Up"), co-directed by Kemp Powers ("One Night in Miami"), written by Kemp Powers & Mike Jones, and produced by Academy Award nominee Dana Murray (Pixar short "Lou"), SOUL also stars the voice talents of Phylicia Rashad, Questlove and Daveed Diggs. It features original jazz music by globally renowned musician Jon Batiste, and Oscar® winners Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross ("The Social Network"), from Nine Inch Nails, composed an original score that drifts between the real and soul worlds.

Bewertungen und Rezensionen

Looked like a bunch of sloppy jallopy copies, of all kinds of short skits tied in with the past, even a scene on one of the street vents blowing Marilyn Monroe's dress up in the air. Only in this case Joes body while inhabited by 22 got the fan effect while laying on it's back spread eagle with the boring tie floating in the air. Welcome to Earth 22!

Soul is a beautiful film, with fun charcters and a great story. When the folk music is echoing on the ship in this it reminds me of Oblivion, in that film music was being played among a destroyed world and it was beautiful, making the ship scene beautiful here. Soul however gets alittle much into new age and the theology of it is not 100% right. We have a purpose and that is to follow Jesus and be saved. This film seems to try to say different, so I can't say to watch it.

I felt like they made Jamie Foxx a more muted character (Joe Gardner). I wish they would have pushed this movie a bit further, more controversial, less quirky and aloof-- sort of like "It's a Wonderful Life" meets "Burlesque" meets "Inside Out". I think that as a kid-friendly movie, it was not as enchanting as it should have been. I enjoyed watching it, but it kind of made me antsy for more of the Heavenly realm and less about jazz music and the be-all-you-can-be inspiration.
