Acerca de esta película

¿Qué es lo que hace que tú seas... TÚ? Este noviembre, en el nuevo largometraje de Pixar Animation Studios, "Soul", conocerás a Joe Gardner, un profesor de música de instituto al que se le presenta la oportunidad única de tocar en el mejor club de jazz de la ciudad. Sin embargo, un pequeño traspié lo transportará de las calles de Nueva York a El Gran Origen, un lugar fantástico donde las almas nuevas reciben sus personalidades, peculiaridades e intereses antes de ir a la Tierra. Con la determinación de volver a su vida, Joe forma equipo con un alma precoz, 22, que no entiende el atractivo de la experiencia humana. Mientras Joe intenta desesperadamente mostrarle a 22 los placeres de vivir, puede que descubra las respuestas a algunas de las preguntas más importantes de la vida. La película está dirigida por Pete Docter ("Del Revés"), ganador de un premio Óscar, codirigida por Kemp Powers ("One Night in Miami") y producida por Dana Murray (cortometraje de Pixar "Lou"), nominada a un premio Óscar y miembro del Sindicato de Productores de América.

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.
