Review : Soul (2020)

Pixar has carved out a very distinct niche for themselves in the animation world... not only have they pushed the boundaries in terms of looks, but they are not afraid to deal with heavier topics.  Soul is a perfect example of these things in motion, as they have not only once again upped the ante for animation quality, but have graduated from dealing with emotion to dealing with death and the afterlife.  For all of the movies that debuted on Christmas of 2020, Soul stands out as the leader of the pack.

Middle school music teacher and aspiring jazz pianist Joe Gardenr (Jamie Foxx) has hit a point in life where he is feeling depressed and unfulfilled.  His mother Libba (Phylicia Rashad) does not support his dreams, and the rut of teaching thankless kids is wearing on him, but with the help of former student Curley (Questlove), Joe is given the opportunity to audition for a spot in famed jazz saxophonist’s Dorothea Williams (Angela Bassett), and in a moment of inspiration, Joe nails the audition.  In a cruel twist of fate, however, Joe falls down an open manhole and is killed, leading him to a journey in the Great Before where he must help 22 (Tina Fey), a soul disenchanted about living on Earth, to find purpose in the form of a new human to occupy.

For a kid’s film, Soul definitely addresses some heavy, esoteric topics, but handles them with a level of kid gloves that is not too jarring or depressing for a young mind.  Surprisingly, there is also enough depth in this handling to keep adults not only interested, but introspective after the fact.  Soul is an observant film that not only teaches you the value of your own life, but the value of the lives of those around you as well.  The attempt to try and provide an understanding and reason behind the existence of purpose is also a driving force of the narrative, making Soul possibly the most emotionally fulfilling piece of entertainment presented in 2020.

Concepts like alchemy, thin places, transcendental meditation, quantum physics, astral projection and more are laid out on the table in a very “explain it to me like I’m five” nature, which makes them easier to digest for young, developing minds.  Much like a film such as I Heart Huckabees, Soul stands as an ode to universal interconnectedness… films like these are a reminder that no matter how bleak the outlook, or now matter how lost and isolated we feel in this world, we are not alone on our journey.  Joe Gardner, therefore, stands as a role model for the kids who feel as if their passions and talents aren’t important, aren’t worthy, or make them outcasts, and hopefully it will provide them with a sense of self-worth and a drive to follow their dreams if, for no other reason, self-fulfillment.

It’s nearly impossible to talk about a Pixar film without talking about the animation quality, and Soul presents at least 3 distinct animation looks to tell this story.  While the souls and animals look great, the amount of detail in every human on the screen (be they key characters or animated extras) is incredible to the point of being breathtaking.  New York also looks stunning, with its vibrant sense of life, mixed bag of history and cultures and its proud presence all resonating in the same manner as actual real, filmed images of the city.  The pathway to the Afterlife, the Beforelife and space are also given wonderful detail in their visual presentations, making each environment immediately easy to read in terms of emotional tone.  The writing is very strong, with the tender and humorous moments equally balanced and distributed… the Jerrys and Terrys all being British also cracks me up.

Jamie Foxx subdues some of his cocky, confident nature in order to make his character as relatable as he is talented, grounding Joe Gardner in a sense of humility and respect for his craft that is admirable on the highest levels.  Tina Fey indulges in her poetic license to put the humorous pedal to the metal, but not at the expense of being able to portray a real sense of both wonder and hurt at appropriate times.  Angela Bassett brings a mix of dignity and no-nonsense leadership to her role as bandleader, manifesting as one who recognizes talent just as well as all of the baggage that often comes with it, and translating that into a tough but worthy emotional hurdle to overcome.  Graham Norton brings some of the most humorous moments to the table, while the hilarious administrative esoteric hot potato of the After/Beforelife is passed around between Rachel House, Richard Ayoade, Alice Braga, Wes Studi, Fortune Feimster and Zenobia Shroff.  Appearances by Phylicia Rashad, Questlove, Daveed Diggs, Donnell Rawlings, June Squibb, the criminally underrated and mega-talented Cody Chestnutt and more fill out the world of Soul.

With the track record that Pixar currently boasts, I’d be more surprised if they failed than I am when they succeed.  Soul more than likely would have broken box office records given the opportunity for a proper release and theatrical run, and I’d be willing to put money on it bringing home numerous awards in the animation field.

Dave Chappelle to Produce Four Netflix Comedy Specials

Dave Chappelle to Produce Four Netflix Comedy Specials Even with push back from Netflix employees over Dave Chappelle’s last stand-up special, the streaming giant will be sharing his next project. “Chappelle’s Home Team.” They Consist of four specials hosted and produced by the humorist. The series will feature four comics handpicked by Chappelle, including Nathaniel “Earthquake” Stroman and “Chappelle Show” alum Donnell Rawlings. All of who have at least 30 years of stand-up experience. “I’ve been doing this a long time and comedians like Quake and Donnell are not only friends but have inspired my own career,” Chappelle said in a statement. “Anyone in the comedy community knows these names and knows their time to shine is long overdue. I am proud to be a part of this moment.” "Chappelle’s Home Team” directed by Chappelle’s go-to collaborator, Stan Lathan. Executively produced by Chappelle, Lathan, Earthquake, Rikki Hughes and Jermaine Smith. This follows his own controversial Netflix special, “The Closer.” Setting social media on fire. Many accusing him of transphobia based on jokes within the 1-hour set. Most recently, the Ohio resident was called out for allegedly stopping development of affordable housing in his Yellow Springs neighbourhood. An accusation he denied via his rep. “Dave Chappelle didn’t kill affordable housing,” spokesperson Carla Sims said. “Concerned residents and a responding Village Council ‘killed’ a half-baked plan which never actually offered affordable housing.” With Dave Chappelle to Produce Four Netflix Comedy Specials will you be watching too?

Nearly three years ago, my friends and I made a pilot for a show called Hollyweed. It wasn't at all groundbreaking but it was fun to make: essentially, it was CLERKS in a weed store, with Donnell Rawlings and me as the middle-aged knuckleheads behind the counter. The idea was to base the episodes in a medical marijuana dispensary and use Los Angeles as a canvas for our characters, played by Jason Mewes, Ralph Garman, Adam Brody and Frankie Shaw. We shot the pilot in January 2016 and it turned out better than I'd hoped. The future was looking bright for Hollyweed - until we ran into a slight speed bump: no network wanted the show. And so like many pilots before it, Hollyweed didn't become a series - it became a digital file that sat on my laptop, where I'd watch it from time to time as a reminder of what might've been, daydreaming of trying again one day. Then I nearly dropped dead of a heart attack and decided one day is today! And now, the good folks at Rivit TV are giving me and my Hollywood dreams a second chance, as they put the power to greenlight our little weed sitcom in YOUR hands! Watch the entire 25-minute pilot FOR FREE and if you like it, help us bring the series to life by pre-buying the next episodes! See the freak show of me trying to act with words and if it remotely amuses you, shower us with the loot to do it again and again! (And if you hate it? Thanks for even sampling my stuff in the first place.)

#NMN1 #NMNisReal #LadiesOfTheNMN #MenOfTheNMN #GMNation DC'S OWN TOP NOTCH COMEDIAN @davechappelle TESTED POSITIVE FOR COVID19 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾 #RepostLoveFrom @balleralert with @make_repost ・・・ Dave Chappelle Test Positive for Coronavirus; Cancels All Upcoming Shows Blogged by @cabbagepatchgrl Just before #DaveChappelle’s Thursday comedy show, he tested positive for the coronavirus. Which forced him to cancel all upcoming appearances, a spokeswoman said. His rep Carla Sims said in a statement that Chappelle was expected to perform from Thursday through Sunday at Stubb’s Waller Creek Amphitheater in #Austin, #Texas. Unfortunately, those shows have now been canceled and Chappelle is quarantining. The comedian is asymptomatic. Sims said since June 2020, Chappelle has been performing socially-distanced shows in Ohio and he moved his shows to Austin during the winter. Rapid testing for the audience and daily tests for Chappelle and his team were implemented. Comedian #JoeRogan was scheduled to perform at the shows on Friday and Saturday. He apologized on Instagram to his followers for the canceled shows, saying they’d be rescheduled. A post earlier this week showed Rogan at Stubb’s with Chappelle and other stars including #DonnellRawlings, #RonWhite and #ElonMusk. Refunds will be available for ticket holders. https://www.instagram.com/p/CKWZjpfhVv5/?igshid=1enaels4np94o
