Subtle eye performance

lisawallacedesigns — 2025-07-09 02:30:59 UTC

This phrase refers to the minute details in the eye movements that create such realistic and soulful acting in the characters

Different states of existence personified as characters

My favorite is the lumbering, flailing monster that represents the lost soul. Link: https://disney.fandom.com/wiki/Lost_Souls?file=Lost_Souls.jpg

Panicked pursuit

lisawallacedesigns — 2025-07-09 02:33:38 UTC

Absolutely absurd but seemingly insurmountable obstacles

lisawallacedesigns — 2025-07-09 02:36:28 UTC

Namely, when Joe incarnates into the wrong species

Humor

Metaphor

lisawallacedesigns — 2025-07-09 02:39:14 UTC

The movie is filled with realms and characters that are metaphors for beliefs about the soul before, during, and after life. Even if there is no belief in life beyond earth, the metaphors from earthly existence alone are enough to tear me up.

The Zone

lisawallacedesigns — 2025-07-09 02:43:08 UTC

My favorite "place" metaphor for a state of the soul, which can be achieved during earthly life. It's so whimsical and exciting to imagine you really are traveling interdimensionally during a powerful artistic experience (or whatever experience it is that takes you there)

Deconstructing Purpose

lisawallacedesigns — 2025-07-09 02:45:04 UTC

I would have to watch it again to get this part right. My best guess is this: we're taught to seek in a way that takes us further from our soul.

Masterful character design

lisawallacedesigns — 2025-07-09 02:45:27 UTC

Top notch character acting

lisawallacedesigns — 2025-07-09 02:48:07 UTC

In other words, incredibly refined character performance merged with flawless voice acting

Strong attention to lighting

lisawallacedesigns — 2025-07-09 02:48:37 UTC

The lighting at the gig was particularly striking

Expressive environments

lisawallacedesigns — 2025-07-09 02:50:53 UTC

For example: The crumbling details of the bandroom must be so disappointing to Joe. I can smell the mustiness. Example 2: the ethereal, translucent world of "befeorelife." Link: https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/01/169d_9781452179810-EMBED-2021-1610731246.jpg

Creative use of the medium

lisawallacedesigns — 2025-07-09 02:51:41 UTC

I love how it's a 3D film but the interdimensional characters are almost like one dimension, being made of a single line

Musical genius - jazz

lisawallacedesigns — 2025-07-09 02:55:18 UTC

I applaud the incredible jazz interludes written by John Baptiste. Link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HR5dQTL-Sx0&list=RDHR5dQTL-Sx0&start_radio=1

Otherworldly music

lisawallacedesigns — 2025-07-09 02:57:10 UTC

I felt meditative and immersed into the ethereal score for the dimensions beyond our own. There were parts of the jazz performances that felt just as otherworldly.

Learning from my peers

lisawallacedesigns — 2025-07-09 03:32:16 UTC

Even though the plot is totally different, there is a sweet, heartfelt quality to this movie that reminds of of Soul. One specific resemblance is the presence of the caring but conflicted parents.
