① Joe Gardner in the film Soul (《心灵奇旅》) is a jazz lover and gifted piano player. He’s trying to win success and get his mother to accept him. When he gets a chance to play with his role model, saxophonist(萨克斯管吹奏者) Dorothea Williams, Joe thinks he’s about to achieve his dream in life.
② Then Joe falls down a hole. Finally, he finds himself in the Great Before, where new souls are prepared for life. It’s also where Joe meets Soul Number 22. He’s sent to help her find her spark—the passion(激情) that encourages her. But 22 isn’t excited about anything till she begins to experience life for herself.
③ Seeing life through 22’s eyes makes Joe understand something. He realizes that while music is one of his sparks, he also finds pleasure in helping others. By guiding 22, Joe begins to appreciate the little things that make life meaningful. For example, 22 gets her spark from common activities, like watching the sky.
④ The characters in Soul are all very interesting. Everyone has something the film calls a “spark”. The film suggests that part of the beauty of life is in finding one’s own spark, and in helping others to find theirs as well. Joe’s piano pieces, played by musician Jon Batiste, are one of the best parts of the film. The music is impressive. It’s easy to believe these works take Joe on a musical journey to another world. By hearing them, we are transported too.
⑤ I give Soul 9 points out of 10. The film is exciting and encouraging. As the characters learn from one another, the viewer is invited to examine his or her own life. You’ll want to watch this film again and again with those who know you best, so you can discuss your spark and why it makes you you.
