Those moments in life that are engraved in your memories are what your life is all about! Not everyone can be a great man, but an ordinary life is still precious. If you are born as a human being, you shouldn't leave with regrets. This is an inspirational movie for ordinary people like you and me. It is appropriately funny and heart-piercingly moving. It doesn't touch me as much as Inside Out, but Pete Docter is still very awesome, and he is especially so good at storytelling that tugs at our heartstrings like this. Overall, it’s a little bit motivational but still awesome.

The movie is so cruel. We’ve been told that we should learn to let go, but if we've never own it, how can we say we don't want it? People who have the opportunity to pick and choose happiness are those who have scaled to the mountain top and seen the view, but ordinary people like us can only treat the easily achievable things as happiness and lie to ourselves that life is good enough. This is purely an emotional movie. If you get it, expressing a little more will destroy it; if you don't get it and won't look for the reason, there'll only be regret.

Soul indeed

Incredible performances with the dubbing, amazing variety of actors and accents really gave it the character they were looking for in the environment they were proposing, and the cherry on top is the little comedic moments, and of course, the music. A bit of an LSD trip on their part, but just the gift that keeps on giving for us, I guess.

Unique

This is different from everything Pixar has done so far, and I don’t think it’s a movie for children. Not because of inappropriate scenes, but because you need to understand in a deeper level what is happening with Joe and 22. If you don’t see that, it loses a lot.

I’m gonna to live every minute of it

So what do you think you’ll do?
How are you gonna spend your life?
I’m not sure.
But I do know...
I’m gonna to live every minute of it “
Soul has been very much looking forward to the release of a film, because you know that is published by Pixar, it always likes to use animation to convey ideas and beliefs, have seen Coco, Monster. Inc, know the movie won't let me down, when I was a child see Monster power generation company, hope i will be the little girl, the plush monsters guarding alone can don't be afraid to sleep.
Later to see Coco, know that life and death will be normal, but also to find their love things.
This time watching this movie and regreting life too great.I’m gonna to live every minute of it
Hey,Movie’s over!Go Home!

See the desert, also see shimmer!

If your 2020 is as bad as mine, there is really nothing worth summarizing at the end of the year, and you can barely hand in a "I'm still alive" answer sheet, then when you finish watching the cartoon of "Spiritual Journey", you may be in High-five with me somewhere in the world-yes, it doesn't matter if nothing is done, at least this story gives us comfort.

Pixar used the 23rd animated feature film to prove that it has gone deeper and further on the road of innovation. While enjoying the shock of audiovisual, theme and plot, I was also anxious about it. It seems that it does not intend to be a hot IP, or even to target the main audience of cartoons—children, but only to become a small group of adults—come, let's talk about life.

Life? What is there to talk about. Especially when adults over the age of 30 walk into the cinema, most people just want to look around in the crevices of ordinary life, catch a breath, laugh, and then walk out of the cinema casually and continue to return to reality.

But "Spiritual Journey" is too much. Not only did it fail to pull you out of reality—as a cartoon, it gave up creating fairy tale-like fantasy wonderland—but instead squeezed you back into the familiar world, noisy cities, lively streets, and crowded people. ...You are still listening to the city, being flashed with lights, and feeling your own insignificance in the busy traffic.

This is a really warm story for adult. Life will give you the real answer about the world.

Nos enseña a valorar las vida, con todo lo trae consigo misma pues las cosas por más pequeñas que parezcan a nuestra percepción son en su totalidad algo maravilloso.

Realmente es una película, que nos lleva a cuestionarnos el sentido que le damos a nuestra vida, todos esperamos a tener las respuestas concretas para saber que vamos hacer con nuestras vidas, que pasiones o profesiones nos identifica más, cuando lo realmente importante es aprender a vivir, a disfrutar cada momento, incluso en los pequeños detalles encontraremos felicidad

Os momentos da vida que ficam gravados na memória são a essência de sua vida! Nem todo mundo pode ser uma pessoa incrível, mas a vida comum ainda é preciosa. Se você nasceu como um ser humano, não deve morrer com arrependimentos. Este é um filme inspirador para pessoas comuns como você e eu. É engraçado de maneira adequada e muito comovente. Não me emocionou tanto quanto Divertida Mente, mas Pete Docter ainda é muito incrível, e ele é muito bom contando histórias que mexem com a gente assim. No geral, é um pouco motivacional, mas ainda incrível.

Este filme é tão cruel. Aprendemos que devemos desapegar, mas se nunca possuímos nada, como podemos dizer que não queremos? As pessoas que têm a oportunidade de escolher a felicidade são aquelas que escalaram a montanha e obtiveram a vista, mas pessoas comuns como nós só podem tratar as coisas facilmente alcançáveis como felicidade e mentir para nós mesmos que a vida é boa o bastante. Este é um filme puramente emocional. Se você entendê-lo, expressar um pouco mais te destruirá; se você não entender e não procurar o motivo, só haverá arrependimento.
