Soul 4K 2020

Questions have been asked for thousands of years, but it is not so often that cartoon authors dare to give such food for thought to children. Fortunately, Pixar has been talking on an equal footing with the younger generation for a relatively long time, and at the same time delighting adults as well.

Soul is the story of the jazz musician Joe Gardner. He teaches music at school and dreams of a big stage. And, now, he gets a chance. In a fit of euphoria, Joe rushes through New York streets and falls into the sewers. This is followed by an obvious death, but the musician does not go to heaven. He is still in the local version of limb and is called as a mentor to help new souls find the spark. And then Number 22 appears - a spirit that has not found its purpose for thousands of years, no matter how great it helps him.

Pete Docter here seems to continue his 'Puzzle', personifying some ephemeral things from our lives. Whether it's inspiration that can instantly disappear or the presence of natural talent, it's all beautifully and unusually illustrated. Even the moment of the film, clearly peeped from Damien Chazelle, where the main character uses the piano to escape reality, looks fresh here.

Soul is an incredibly deep and serious cartoon about the search for a destination that we are all looking for somewhere in the wrong place. Yes, you can say that most of Pixar's work is about this, but it is in their latest creation that you can see real maturity.

Despite the talk of death, this picture is painted in very bright and light colors. This makes it even more touching. This picture is real jazz. It is not without reason that this music, which is extremely difficult to perceive and is absolutely always warm, is assigned one of the most important lines of the film.
