It would change in the fact that the “magical negro” aspect is erased but I would still have a BIG issue with the “message” of “purpose” ultimately being a useless pursuit. Fuuuuuuckkkkk that

But as depressing as that is, its true as fukk. In the end of the day there is no reason for anything, if you find your purpose or not you will die in the end of the day anyways. Why spend your whole life looking for your "purpose" (which for 90% of Americans is some sort of capitalistic endeavor, ie making some cac some money) and enjoy the life you have if you have the opportunity.

When 22 took over Joes body, to me that was like him learning to accept himself. In the beginning of the movie he was hiding from his mom, hated his job, and was constantly looking to fulfilling his purpose.

When 22 took over she told his mom what up and she actually supported him. He connected with his barber in a deeper way because as 22 he didn't have to rant to his barber about Jazz but actually got to connect on a deeper level because they had a conversation about themselves.

Joe himself even got to realize the finality of making your life about capitalistic endeavors, even if it ties into your interests when he played in the band. It is unfulfilling. Right after he played in the band, which was his dream, the thing he thought he wanted, the thing that he thought would get his mothers respect, he asked what's next.

She looked at that nikka like "What's next?:usure: nikka you come to work tomorrow, that's what's next"

That's it, he basically got his dream job and it didn't give him what he needed. If he spent his time enjoying his life and loved being himself like 22, instead of waiting to enjoy his life he may have been more fulfilled at that point.

The barber kind of had the lesson summarized in where he had a dream to be a vet but because of circumstances he had to become a barber. Instead of still focusing on being a vet and wasting years of his life and enjoyment on something he may not have even really liked he found how to enjoy being a barber and make the most out of that.

I don't think the lesson is settle but more, enjoy the life you have because you only have one, then you are off to the great beyond.

Lmao nothing “lost” about me in the slightest. If allowing a white woman to STEAL your body and rewarding her with being willing to give up your OWN life for HER happiness is your idea of heartwarming tale then I highly suggest you watch Driving Miss Daisy. You’ll LOVE it breh

Overall good movie. Wish there was more music in it though. I think most of it goes way over the heads of kids so I'm not bothered as much but the parts I didn't like.

But I really disliked the whole white woman in the black man's body thing. Am I the only one who saw it as kinda making the black man into a gay male? They way they had him moving and walking funny plus the womans voice. Again most of this will go over kids heads and they laugh at the silliness but it rubbed me the wrong way.

Boy what the fukk are you talking about.

22 in his body waked that way because it's NEVER been on earth, its NEVER had a body hence it doesn't know the mechanics of moving around

and who said 22 is a woman? a white woman even ? 22 said itself 'i use this voice because people find it annoying'' it has the ability to sound however it chooses.

i swear you new age black and your fake militancy is killing joy.. stupid herb

Call it what you want my guy but that was not a masculine black male voice coming from the black male character for half the film.

Movie was really good and very well done on all fronts. Looking like it's pretty much going to be a classic. I need to rewatch, asap. The co-director, Kemp Powers, was stated by the Pixar crew as being essentially the "Soul" of this movie and he has another movie, One Night in Miami, that he's a writer on that is also getting a lot of acclaim. I'll need to check that one out as well.

It's too bad that the
