Soul Ending Explained: What Are Joe & 22's Fates?
Вставка
- Опубліковано 19 сер 2024
- After being graced with a new Pixar movie on Disney+ which I thought was absolutely stunning, beautiful, and thought provoking, today I want to discuss the meaningful ending of Soul! What happened to Joe Gardner and 22 after they returned to Earth from the Great Before? Where might they go and who might they become? Also, what was up with the Terry end credit scene? To begin the many discussions I'm sure we will have on Pixar's Soul, let's begin by trying to decipher the lessons that our main characters learned when they decided that any life they could lead would have meaning.

What did you think of Soul? And are there any topics you would like discussed about this movie coming up? I thought it was gorgeous, thoughtful, and brilliant, and I can't wait to talk about it more! Everything from The Great Before, the Jerrys, and what happened to Moonwind will be fascinating to look into more. Have a magical day fun people, and I hope you have a fantastic New Year!
Thanks for this year Isaac the videos you have made are awesome and personally you're an intelligent dude 👊❤👊❤👊❤
I loved it
Maybe about what happens after the Great Beyond?
Or how this concept of afterlife connects with Coco
@@pixiepres7730 I think u get reincarnated as a new soul
*Honestly, 22 is the embodiment of “I don’t wanna be here”. Kid’s not even been born yet and she wants to get out of there 😂*
She wanted to stay there and didn't want to go to earth
@@STAR-jt2wf I know, I just phrased it poorly 😂 apologies if I say something wrong, I wasn’t really able to _watch_ the movie and am basing my information on a few trailers...
@@patchworkfellow i hope you get to enjoy it soon.
@@SharpDesign yeah... probably not, I don’t have Disney+...
No wonder she waited to be a part of gen z
The true lesson of Soul is to always live life to the fullest instead of focusing on the one thing your passionate about.
Movies is my number one passion. But I don’t talk about it 24/7

@@manuelorozco7760 Well,we may never meet again, so the fact the only thing I knew about you was about movies is quite ironic.
Do you have other passions outside movies? I love reading, aquariums and animations, and sometimes listening to weird music in a cold afternoon.
@@aa-to6ws Musical theatre, retro nostalgia, sports and music
That’s a dumb theme
I hope Joe and 22 see each other again. I cried when 22 separated from Joe when going to Earth.
Yea, wen he told her, he will go as far with her.. @tears
I hope so too
I think she eventually became his student
One of my theories is that Joe goes forward with his relationship with Lisa and if they decide to have a child through adoption, they end up adopting a child from Asia and that child will have 22's soul in it. 😁
@@Lauren_210 If 22 is to be believed, time don't matter in the great before, so thus there's no reason 22 can't be Joe's kid
Fun fact: The Jerrys (EDIT: and terry) are the oldest Pixar characters, at 14 billion years old because they are the coming together of the universe
22 is the second oldest
@@lastgaminggt7828 well, I mean I think she’s like 7th or 8th because there are multiple Jerrys and Terry as well
The cells in your body have been alive for 4 billion or so, not too big of a difference in the grand scheme of things 😉
@@gdbutcherable that’s not really true. Before we were born the matter that made up our cells were not cells at all.
@@gdbutcherable No? The cells in our body grew from a fertilized egg, which was created by cells that were created in our parent's bodies, so the oldest our cells could be is Age+9 months. And probably a lot younger than that since our cells are constantly dying and being replaced.
Terry: Hey, movie's over. Go home!
Me: Oh, naive Terry, don't know what's happening down on earth
I absolutley loved this movie! I'm sure it's not plausible but I'd like to think twenty-two ended up being one of Joe's students in band class.
And that's okay. I think they intentionally left the ending open so that we could write our own conclusions. They didn't want to preach that any one choice or outcome was "correct". The same goes for what Joe decided to do with his life.
I heard someone said that twenty-two might be a foreign exchange student to Joe’s school or Lisa will tell Joe she’s pregnant and it’s 22.
@@foxcrow4815
I like to think, based off this comment, that 22 is an exchange student.
It is kinda possible, because 22 ever said, "you know, time is not really a thing here"
means after going to earth her life may starts several years before Joe's accident or even in the future
and if we realized that Joe and 22 had explored You Seminar for a long long time, may be a half day long, but when they got down to earth, it was still noon of the same day, hm..
@@spilspilspil I thought of that too. The logic is kind of funny in the film though because when they do go down to earth, it is the present, so idk.
Terry: "Oy, movies over. Go home!"
Me, watching Soul during Quarantine / a pandemic: "I'm already home. I never left."
I loved the movie!! It deserves the 99% on rotten tomatoes!!!!!
That would be very exciting! I hope it gets there!
Nah my g
Uhm does it though? It's a good movie but not perfect
@Antho M yeah, your probably right
Now it’s at 96%, which is way too low
When he said "oi movie over go home" I was already home in bed lol
Right. They should of changed it to “oi movie over get off the streaming service”.
@@cartoonishclaude yeah true 😂 Christmas was the best calamity Ganon game and streamed soul
@@cartoonishclaude The movie was already made before vivid started. But it would really be funny if we did see it in theaters
Suddenly I felt anyone could be 22, it could be you, or me.
I totally started crying at the end of this movie! Soul is a fantastic piece, with almost every single aspect in the movie being fantastic! I was hoping to see more scenes with Joe in his body, especially ones in the Barber Shop and with his mother. But it did allow him to get a POV of those who care that he never got before. I'm really looking forward to this! Also I see you changed your name on UA-cam! Been following you sine Watso videos. Cool change!
This movie made me realise life is a precious gift and we only get that gift once so we should all live our life to the fullest now I'm doing that I'm exercising more and are making new friend this movie changed my life
This and Onward are my favorite movies. I cried like a baby watching this. It helped me have a different perspective on my life and made me feel better about where I am.
We know for a fact that eating pizza wasn’t the thing that filled in the spark, because if you look at her soul when that happens, the box is still empty.
Onward was a good movie too, it
taught us about family, and to appreciate who you have next to you.
I can relate to that having two parents under the same roof and two brothers
That'll be my next movie to watch
Onward actually bores me like no other Pixar movie. Wasn't my cup of tea
@@jinx724 same
If you ask me, we need a short movie of just Jerry😂
Agree
a pixar short!
Or Terry
I want a short on Terry he’s my level of grumpy 😂
Yes.
This movie opened my eyes about life lol 😂😁 100 percent recommend you guys to watch it 😍😁
Absolutely! It presented such a refreshing perspective on where we can find meaning in our lives.
@@IsaacCarlson 😁☺️
It really did!
@@divxva lol ikr 😂😁
Maybe it woud have opened my eyes as a child, but as an adult I'd feel silly having movie characters as my role models
Soul made me reflect my life I felt like the characters sometimes I feel that I don’t know what I am going to become and reach my dreams when in reality I am already doing so much for myself and others by just being here.
Honestly, I subscribe to the idea that Joe and 22 will meet again, but for a passing moment, but that passing moment will be profound to both of them.
It might go something like this:
Joe is walking down the street to his job (possibly as a music teacher after he realized that playing onstage didn't give him what he wanted). As he turns a corner, he bumps into something and nearly falls. Catching himself and looking down, he sees two kids who were the ones he bumped into; a little boy and a slightly older girl. Catching the boy, the girl rounds on Joe and yells at him to be more careful, saying he almost caused her little brother to fall. Joe quickly apologizes, then asks whether the two should be in school. The girl scoffs, saying they were walking to school early. Joe realizes the school they are transferring to is the school he's teaching at, and offers to walk them to their first day while introducing himself as Mr. Joe Gardner. Rolling her eyes, the girl agrees. While walking there in a calm atmosphere, Joe breathes in the fresh air and says "Oh yeah, this feels like jazz". Walking between her brother and Joe, the girl chuckles and says "Oh yeah, you're jazzing."
For a moment Joe's eyes are widened. Then he smiles gently and says "You know, the school cafeteria's got some pretty good pizza. You like pizza?"
And the girl, eyes full of life - full of a _spark_ - turns to her teacher, nods and smiles.
Joe isn't going to pursue a career in music like before. He loves music, but after playing with Dorothea and her telling him that they will basically just do the same thing every night he realized it wasn't as fulfilling as he thought it would be. At the end of the movie he's clearly on his way to explore new aspects of life, including perhaps reconnecting with Lisa.
As for 22, I feel like 22 will be born as not only a human male but one that will be in a wealthier family, since wealthy human males have the most freedom and opportunities in the world. Since 22 looked to be going to Asia, it really makes a lot of sense that in order to get the most out of life 22 would be born male into a privileged family. Or maybe 22 will end up having a crappy life on earth.
I honestly thought Joe would adopt 22 at some point.
Me too
Impossible 22 was unborn and has a family to go to.
@@thankyounext365 yes, but before anyone had seen the movie, they were making their own fan theories. 22 had to be born first, but to who? Could 22 become the child of Joe and Lisa that we were being hinted at? Could 22 show up later as a music student of Joe? Technically, even landing in Asia they may still end up interacting with each other later on in the future.
@@UmmYeahOk I have the idea that Joe would meet the human 22 many years later and dislike them until 22’s birthday was mentioned.
@@katherinegilks3880 ooooooh I love that theory!
Man I cried.
And I'm not ashamed of admitting it-
Good to know I wasn’t the only one who cried. 👍🏽
Same :""")
i'm not crying... well- i'm teared down a bit.
I kinda hoped Lisa would be introduced and to be honest I expected her to knock on Joes door and say she was pregnant with his child and it turned out to be 22, but that was just me
That would have caught me off guard
I laughed at that though. I would bank that on my ideas though.
A short film of 22 living in her body as a kid would be good but doesn’t need a sequel really it’s great on its own
Or a Disney Plus series
Another wonderful video Isaac! You definitely put into words everything that I've come to love about Soul. I just saw it the other day with a friend, and let me tell you, this movie had us in tears after we finished watching it. Never before have I seen a movie that tackled all these personal, yet such thought-provoking and very real topics in such a refined and beautiful manner. All my life, I've been plagued by insecurities, moments of despair, and just the thought that I was or never will be good enough in anything I try to do. That if I don't find something I'm perfect at, then I won't be able to live a fulfilling career and make my family proud. Seeing 22 and Joe struggle with their insecurities and self-worth hit me HARD because I saw myself in every scene. It was so grounded, personal, and believable, which is such a hard yet incredible thing for a movie to pull off, especially in a way that's understandable to kids. When everything culminated into that moment where Joe was playing the piano at his home and remembering all of the wonderful experiences of his life, that if he truly were to die today he would be happy and at peace because he finally realized that he lived a good, fulfilling life filled with all the littles joys of living, I balled my eyes out. "That last spot fills in when you're ready to come live," "Maybe sky watching could be my spark or walking! I'm really good at walking!" and "I don't know what I'm going to do, but I'm going to enjoy every minute of it" are just some of my absolute favorite lines from this movie. Just a movie that tells me its okay to love the little things in life because it's those little things that make life worth living and experiencing is something I didn't know I needed to hear until now. Soul will now forever have a special place in my heart and will always cherish the message and characters of this movie. Great job again Isaac!
I love the personal connection you made.
yeah!
This movie was so heartwarming and thought-provoking! Happy new year Isaac! You are awesome!
Thanks for the video explanation Isaac.
My family and I just watched the movie on Disney+ last Friday and the film really blew me away from its messages on the Meaning of Life and what our purpose is on this world.
As to what happened to Joe and 22, well Joe was given another chance and he gets to explore the other experiences in Life besides being a Jazz Musician and 22 after entering Earth will become a new person born on this world and will forget her memories on her time in The Great Before.
Thanks for the video.
The lost souls literally gave me nightmares those things were fucking terrifying!
I want you to do a theory on who 22 becomes 🙂
That would be a ton of fun!
Same!
I agree. I want to know what happens to 22.
I've just realized connie is also asian! maybe there's some kind of a connection there
To have purpose is not life, to be alive is already the purpose.
Can we talk about how Paul falling into the black whole when Terry was trying to catch Joe but Paul fell in and then came back to life 😳
And how he got tramutized because wth did he see.. I want answers
Yeah that scene was dark lol. Totally caught me off guard
@@thaRebel619 oh I was very uncomfortable 😭 like not in a Pixar movie
I’ve been waiting for Soul for a year, forever.
A year isn’t forever to me
5:19-6:10 on these parts of the video, you almost made me cry, Isaac.
I honestly love your videos and your content, and I appreciate the effort you put into all of your videos. I have never seen someone who seems to love and put effort on their work like you do, Isaac. Of course, I can’t say we ALL love your content nor I can guarantee you that we watch it all, but you can definitely know that I personally do enjoy and appreciate your effort you put into these.
I just love your positive attitude you bring us all, and I can’t ignore all those little details you put in your videos, bc normally when youtubers start their channels, is all bad quality and very little experience, but you, you bring a great quality masterpiece, with a very nice camera, high quality in all aspects, daily videos, a great attitude, nice set, nice microphone, GREAT information, etc, they’re so many things to put into consideration, and you don’t miss anything. Congratulations Isaac, if you keep up, I know that all your dreams will come true, and please don’t under estimate yourself, and never let anyone under estimate you.
Happy holidays
I liked this movie. It's definitely one of those movies that sends a message that sticks with u
my theory of 22 is that she became Russell from UP. She clearly falls in the asia area and he’s an asian american character. He could’ve moved at an early age with his mom to America since his dad isn’t mentioned in UP. Also, Russell and 22 share their want to fill that “empty void” aka Russell’s last badge and 22’s spark. Just a theory so we shall see what happens
also both movies are the same director, pete doctor soo it’s possible
Maybe
That is possible
If 22 landed in Asia that would kind of make sense considering her personality. Snarky, whitty, incredibly perceptive.
Mongolia or upper china is where i think 22 landed
I think that the director confirmed that they initially wanted 22 to land in Tibet, but they changed that obviously. It's still likely 22 ended up in Asia somewhere.
Yeah. I heard a theory somewhere else that said that 22 could possibly become the woman from the Pixar short "Bao," or some other Pixar character. Which wouldn't surprise me, if the shorts were somehow included in the Pixar theory. And the short "Bao" somehow resembles her relationship with Joe, too. There's a video from Gate of Theories that analyzes what other Pixar characters 22 could have become, too.

I’m not going to lie I’m a 22 year old man and I had to cry it was such a beautiful movie
even gangster cries for watching Pixar`s..
Oh, you’re a *22* year old man
@@forkwithasuit yep
@@jasonbanegas9397 it was a joke because 22 from the movie
i can tell you're typing with the middle aged white woman voice ;)
So 22 became a kpop idol 😂
For real though, really loved the movie. It was probably the best one I have watched this year and certainly one of my ultimate favs of all times. I thought that 22 would be born eventually as Joe’s daughter but going through the end I understood this was not possible!
Great video as always!
Soul is definitely one of my favorite Pixar films. Like seriously, the stories great, the characters are great, and the overall message is heart touching.
I hope they meet again. It would be so sweet.
Isn't the womb our real great before
Dang! Maybe all of this takes place in a child's mind before they are born
it would be awesome of Joe saw 22 move into the city from Asia, and maybe she had the same face but a few different features representing her culture, and he then stares, smiles and continues to walk down the street happy to see that 22 has made it to a happy childhood
This video touched my heart
If Riley made a paper doll of BingBong could he go and lives his own life . like Woody did .we know Spork are vessels for imaginary friends
Theoretically, yes. At least if you believe that all the films are set in the same universe. I personally don't, but.
@@TECfan1 you know soul confirmed the Pixar theory right?
@@Ace_in_the_deck It just connects with Inside Out at least.
*characters tell me to go home in a movie*
Me: FERRIS!?
I definitely need to watch this movie! Also I love the idea of stories ending characters with an open ending where their characters can be left up to everyone’s interpretation.
I got the soul movie ad while watching this
At 4:06 it sounds like her voice is baby dory from finding dory
At the end of the movie I had the idea that Joe went back into his own body.. like he was in a coma in a hospital waiting.. now I’m not so sure.
Spoiler:
If I remember correctly, Joe went back to fetch 22 by going into the zone in his own house, so I guess that's why he was seen exiting his house and not awakening from a hospital bed.
I sobbed hysterically because of this film, because of the realization of "unworthy of life" but I really was also excited to see POC characters, as the that 22 might be born in Asia, gets me very excited. I feel like 22 pertains to a lot of people that struggle with problems about living and that is amazing.
Isaac, what a wonderful enthusiastic review. You totally GOT exactly what this film was about and you expressed it beautifully. Ultimately this film is about enlightenment which means knowing that WHAT IS, is IT! Joy is now. No past or future, just knowing and experiencing NOW. You have a great future in front of you!!!
What's clear is Joe will contact Lisa and continue with music but be less obsessed with it and I think Joe will continue to be in the band and not be a teacher. The director said one of the endings they played around was 22 was Indian, and they do meet.
Because it's a Disney movie I believe they do meet. I was hoping for a Monster's Inc like ending, when either 22, or Joe recognizes one of each other by a voice.
I hope you have a happy New Year 🎆
I hope you do too Taylor!
You too! And thank you 🙏
Am 22 on earth. I try to find what i can devote my life to but I enjoy none. I only hustle to earn to survive to continue the journey and search for enlightenment
Love this movie ❤️
I loved Soul too! It was exceptional!
I loved this Movie SO MUCH
btw I've been watching you for 2 years 🐢🎥📺
Soul is one of the best Pixar films that I've seen in a while. I was so impressed and moved by it, I loved it. I'm excited to see what Pixar has next
Hey Issac, I have watched your videos for years, you have a fanbase and questions to answer about disney that the movies don't give us. Thank you for giving us this wonderful opportunity to learn about the magic of Disney
I'm glad you felt graced with a Pixar movie such as Soul. Speaking of Pixar, would you like to make individual videos discussing about upcoming Pixar films? I could see you making videos about Luca and Turning Red for a couple examples.
I believe that the moment 22 achieved her spark was when the the helicopter seed fell into her hands , this could be the reason why joe was able to get through to her when he presented the same helicopter seed to her
It's a feather
@@lusmiipangya-6013 nah it was a seed , it fell from a tree , and what type of feather spins like that.
@@crissthebliss oh lol
when i saw all the soul trailers i thought i new what was gonna happen but then i saw the movie and i was amazed that this movie went in a way i didnt expect it was a awsome film
When Joe and 22 switched, that was when the plot got really interesting
I think what happened is Joe might get to do both jazz and teaching and 22 will be in Tina Fey's body (courtesy of the voice actor Tina Fey) but she won't remember who Joe is until Joe's wedding. That's my guess on the ending of Soul.
Don't be stressed and insecure, this video is very well put together and inspirational. Hope all the best to your YT channel.
Quiet Coyote 🖐I’m using this now with my kids it’s so calming. They don’t listen but it’s more effective than yelling 😂
I'm not surprised she fell towards Asia, the thought of enjoying the little things in life is a popular concept in Buddhism
Isaac. You were one of my first favorite UA-camrs and I still like your videos and I wouldn't have even tried to make my video where I try to figure out Tinkerbell's Age (My first video) which isn't as good as your videos, but I did enjoy doing. I hope you continue to make videos as often as you get inspiration.
But most importantly WHAT HAPPENED TO THE KITTY?!?
Yes but...Kitty was on the escalator to the farplane. Did dey die? Did Joe kill the cat by entering dey body? And how’d the cat get back? Dey would have gotten to the top by the end of the movie. I still have so many questions!
But how though?
@upvote fairy but with what soul did they take the cats soul from the great beyond?
Soul was simply... Wow
Beautiful, full of meaning... Just incredible. Totally worth every minute, i even felt it was too short!
When i first saw the trailers i had a really good feeling about this movie, hoping it was going to be better then some of the other resent proyects... And boy... I wasn't disapointed at all! It's been one of the best movies i've seen!
Totally loved it, and even made me cry.
Hope it gets an Oscar for best animated film of the year.
Disney finally getting back on track with good movies, hope they keep up the good work.
Don’t get stressed Isaac I really love your vids you made me get over a lot of hard times you know so keep on going I and many more Love You!!!
*edited*
man Isaac you got me crying keep up the great work
Not gonna lie, I nearly cried when Joe and 22 let go their hands when falling to Earth
For what it’s worth, your content is awesome 👏. Please keep making videos
After centuries I wonder if she will remember any of it
Probably not
Okay. BUT WHAT HAPPENS TO THE CAT!!!!. we all saw the cat go into the great beyond. So how does the cat gets his soul back? If it even can.
It shown in the movie the cat gets back to owner and they hug.
id assume the "account" flipped her lid at the extra soul to count and fixed the issue
At first I didn’t really want to see it, but it looks good
You are worth so much, Isaac! What you create makes so many happy, and your positivity, focus, and spreading of joy affects others in a wonderful way. This makes you a success!!
I just finished watching it, honestly Soul hit differently than other movies
We know fish&Rats can talk we can't understand them was 22 the only one who could understand Joe . Merta didn't speak bear .
I think it was because she wasn't "supposed" to be down on Earth yet, so maybe she still had the abilities of communicating with other souls.
Yesss I’ve been waiting for you to make a theory on this since you are the best at it!
Oh thank you! That means so much to me that you look to me for my thoughts. I appreciate you so much
@@IsaacCarlson Sorry for the late reply notifications didn’t do Justice! And yes I know you make really good videos this one really helped me understand the ending of soul! I’m glad you found that meaning to help you with your UA-cam journey 😊 I appreciate you for going this far!
I was hoping you would do this!
I'm glad I could bring this video to you then!
You went really deep with this movie. I was just wondering about the fact that they can land Jamie Foxx Angela Bassett and Tina Fey
I thought the resolution of the movie was rushed. But I can forgive the fact that it got the story’s main message across! This is a movie the world needs to see. I’m 27 and I love movies. They are my #1 passion along with sports and fine arts. I have a movie blog but I want to find something else meaningful with my life. That’s how I can relate to Joe’s story! Soul is another stunning entry in the Pixar canon. As for Joe, I would do school teaching by day and playing at the club by night.
You know Soul kind of reminds me about ghost dad and freaky friday.
I wonder if this movie will get a sequal🤔
Great movies don't need sequels 🙏
@@towelcat7811 true dat 👌

Issac I love your explanation vids and just because some people don’t watch or don’t like your vids, you made the about Disney and answer some of questions about Disney. And you should always do what you love whether people support you or not and you do have a purpose on explaining Disney makes. I also support and thank you. 🥰🥰🥰🙂😇🤩🤩🤩🤩
"HEY the movie's over! GO HOME"
Me at home watching soul : 😶
3:16 wow I missed that detail
Man the visuals were spot on, pulled the emotional strings, and it really left you thinking at the end 👏🏽
I like to believe 22 became a kpop dancer
:D
I love this movie so much!
22 plans to become an Asian human in her own life with the help from her new mentor because of Joe Gardner when she heads to earth to start her life in Asia when Joe Gardner starts his own long life by the jerrys giving him the opportunity to live when he realized a soul comes from the heart.
I love your videos and I appreciate the moment you opened a bit with all of us. Keep up the great work
Also these new Disney and pixar films are really have good story's on how life and family and friends are precious
I really liked Soul. I was kinda wanting to see someone talk about what could have been the spark that completed 22's Earth Pass and what exact moment she got it. I was thinking her spark was mentoring, and she got her spark during her conversation with Connie. But I wanna know what other people thought
I wished that 22 would end up being Joe and Liza’s future child, but I got sad when I realized that would 💯 not happen
The movie made me feel appreciate about my own life.
I loved soul. It helped me relize music was my purpose, my life and instead of it being like any other pixar movie it reminded me of some of pixar short films.
Beautifully expressed: "we need to love what we do every moment that we do it."
Appreciating life is what I got out of the movie. I've already accomplished part of what I set out to do playing Deejay on the internet. In order for me to get to that other half I hope I can do it next year and have adventures beyond the current crisis.
