Soul - The Movie That Makes You Cry Even More Than Coco – Life

If you watched Coco and cried at the end, then Soul will leave you thinking for a long time.

Coco taught us to never forget our loved ones. Soul teaches us how important it is to actually live our life.

What Is The Story?

Joe Gardner is a music teacher in a school. He has only one dream, to become a great jazz artist. He spent his whole life running after this one dream.

Then one day, he finally gets his dream gig. He is so happy that while walking on the road in excitement, he slips and... he dies.

Yes, the movie starts from here.

Joe's soul is going up, but he doesn't want to go. He runs back and by mistake falls down with a new soul, 22.

22 has no interest in life. She has refused to go to Earth for thousands of years. For her, life is useless.

Joe tells her, "Give me your pass, I want to go back, I want to fulfil my dream."

But what happens after that, is the real meaning of the movie.

The Scene That Made Everyone Cry

When Joe comes back to Earth, he gets his dream gig. He performs so well. Everyone claps for him.

But after that, he feels empty. He asks his mentor, "That's it? Is this all? I worked my whole life for this?"

Then he understands that life is not just about fulfilling one big dream.

Life is in that small sunlight coming from the window.

Life is in that slice of pizza you eat with your friend.

Life is in that one moment when you laugh and talk to someone.

Joe realizes he never learned to live, he only learned to run.

We Are All Joe

Tell me honestly, are we not all living a life like Joe?

We say, "When I get a job, I will be happy."

"When money comes, I will live my life."

"When I get a big house, I will get peace."

And in this race, we forget today.

Soul reminds us that happiness is not in tomorrow, happiness is in today. It is in that cup of tea you are drinking right now.

Final Words

Coco made us cry because it reminded us of our loved ones who passed away.

Soul makes us cry because it reminds us of our own living life.

If you haven't watched Soul yet, watch it tonight. And after watching, ask yourself one question, "Am I living my life, or am I just running?"
