Online Class Notes (Jesse)

Just watched the Pixar’s new movie Soul. My main feeling of the movie is just as what the Guardian commented, “it is a deeply sweet,happy and gentle movie”.
– [ ] Deeply sweet: the ravishing part of the movie has nothing to do with the images / actions but because of the tiny Hu man interactions that we so often brush over come under the magnifying glass
– [ ] Happy:the sadness and the pitchy reality of life are communicated in a nibble and teensy joyful tonality
– [ ] Gentleness:like some of the best jazz compositions, it uses a traditional framework to veer off some unexpected directions, which contains gentle life wisdom of live in the moment / seize the day.

– [ ] Gentleness:like some of the best jazz compositions, it uses a traditional framework to veer off some in unexpected directions, which contains gentle life wisdom of living in the moment / seizing the day.
