Shortly before he is to wed, millionaire John Willis is visited by Dr. Harry S. Blair, a psychiatrist who informs him that years before he was married to Nancy, John's wife-to-be, and warns him that she is mentally unbalanced.
Blair then relates the following story: After a whirlwind romance in Florida, Blair marries Nancy and starts a psychiatric practice in New York. One day, artist Norman Clyde comes to his office and tells him that an innocent man is about to be executed in Sing Sing Prison and that Nancy is the cause of his unjust incarceration. A distraught Clyde then explains himself to a curious Blair:
Three years before, Clyde meets Nancy, whose maiden name was Monks, when she enrolls in his art class. The moody Clyde soon falls in love with Nancy's honest charm and beauty. Nancy, a secretary, introduces Clyde to her boss, millionaire Andrew Bonner, and persuades Bonner to showcase Clyde's paintings at one of his private showings. To Nancy's delight, Clyde's painting, a depiction of the tragic figure Cassandra for which she modeled, wins first prize at the showing. The evening is perfect until an expensive bracelet is stolen from a guest, and Clyde later finds it in Nancy's purse. After Clyde confronts a confused Nancy about the theft, she relates the following story to explain her behavior:
As a young girl, Nancy lives with her housekeeper mother in the lavish Willis home and plays with Karen, the Willises' little daughter. Although Karen wants to invite Nancy to her upcoming birthday party, Mrs. Willis refuses to allow the lower-class Nancy to attend. A true friend, Karen promises to give Nancy one of the pins her guests are receiving. When Karen realizes there are no extra pins, however, she offers Nancy the beautiful locket she has just received from her mother. Nancy's subsequent joy is soon crushed when Mrs. Willis demands that she return the locket. Later, the locket is discovered missing, and Nancy is accused of theft. Although Nancy's mother soon finds the locket in Karen's dress, Mrs. Willis refuses to believe Nancy and forces her to "confess."
The adult Nancy then admits to Clyde that this childhood humiliation caused her unconscious desire to steal the bracelet at the party. After a forgiving Clyde returns the bracelet anonymously, he and Nancy continue their romance until the next party at the Bonners'. Suspecting that the absent Nancy is spending the evening in Bonner's arms, Clyde leaves the party to look for her and sees her exiting Mrs. Bonner's bedroom just after two gunshots are fired. Bonner is found murdered, and Mrs. Bonner's diamond necklace, stolen. Although Nancy and Clyde are questioned, valet Myron Dexter is eventually found guilty and is sentenced to die. Clyde, however, strongly suspects Nancy, but she angrily maintains her innocence and leaves for Florida.
Back in his office, Blair defends Nancy to Clyde but invites him to his house that evening. When confronted, Nancy denies everything and tells Blair that Clyde is merely jealous. The next day, Dexter is executed, and a guilt-ridden Clyde jumps from Blair's office window to his death.
To avoid scandal, Blair and Nancy move to England, and after World War II breaks out, Blair volunteers his medical services, while Nancy becomes an ambulance driver. Expressing concern over Blair's health, Nancy insists that they take a vacation at Lord and Lady Wyndham's manor house. Just as they are leaving, Blair learns that one of Lady Wyndham's valuable jewels has been stolen. Blair suspects Nancy but is unable to prove anything until a bomb destroys their flat and reveals her cache of stolen jewels.
Although confronted directly, Nancy continues to deny any guilt and divorces Blair after he suffers a nervous breakdown. Back in John's study, Blair, like Clyde before him, tries to convince John to abandon Nancy, who now uses the name Patton. John, however, believes Nancy when she tells him that Blair is still suffering from his breakdown.
Moments before the wedding is to start, Nancy's future mother-in-law, the unsuspecting Mrs. Willis, gives her the same locket that she once took away, and tells her that it is a precious family heirloom. The locket causes Nancy to be overcome with guilt, and she collapses at the altar in hysterics. As Nancy is later taken away to an institution, John sadly realizes the truth of Blair's story, but determines to see Nancy through her crisis.
最终我们爱下去的，只是平凡的生活，活下去本身便是活下去的意义。
不要管什么希腊三贤，不要想什么存在与虚无，生存与毁灭……
看哭了，但Pixar所做的并不像所说的那样无懈可击，或者说赞同一部电影输出的价值观，并不代表赞同它的行动。Soul在根本上是很悲哀的电影，因为它默认观众将注定无法做到真正纯粹的观看（就像一个soul第一次看到世界那样），因此我们只能靠修正自己身为成年人的“世界观”来作为补偿。这才是Soul真正所做的。
Soul具有诗性的温柔，最可取的点是会做减法。除了道理讲太透外（基于商业考量这是必要的），在创造力和主旨深度上令人惊叹。这是从黑暗中走过的人才能写出的故事。
想起海子的诗：你来人间一趟，你要看看太阳，和你的心上人，一起走在街上。
发现平时生活状态或者心态都比较平稳的朋友都没太被这部电影戳到，对我来说简直就是去年一整年的心态写照，在电影院哇哇大哭。不是皮克斯最厉害的电影，但是是最符合2020的电影。
而从主角独坐家中一字摆开小物件开始，我的眼泪就逐渐止不住了。对抑郁症患者来说，生命的意义早已枯竭，生与死似乎没什么区别。这电影告诉我，真正的答案并非苦苦寻觅的所谓passion，而是缓缓的落叶，地铁的微风，食物的味道，妈妈的针线，这些令新生儿好奇不已，但成人早已麻木的碎片，无论它是令人愉悦还是痛苦，它们才是可触可及的生活的真相和意义，生命的可贵就是每一秒的真实。
看故事前，就先被纽约城市逼真的动画质感震撼到，强烈的现实感仿佛在看真人电影，尤其是理发厅与地铁内的空间氛围最出色。即使主题依旧是皮克斯所擅长的“拟人化”与“生死感悟”命题设定，且有逻辑漏洞并不完美，他们仍然把这个故事打磨得老少咸宜、游刃有余，且深情而催泪。他们总能把这糟乱世界中散落的点滴美好呈现在观众面前，这次还有好听的爵士乐伴奏助兴，哪怕强行治愈正能量鸡汤也不突兀。走出影院，想到国产动画还只能在“封神宇宙”“神话传说”和“抗美援朝”中“崛起”，实在绝望。四星半
太好哭了！此片献给悲惨的2020，也献给所有热爱过生活又对生活失望过的朋友！如果说灵魂世界概念的设定是A级，那么最后一波波关于生活中那些曾活过，曾绽放过的花火细节的情感冲击绝对是S级的！一定要去影院看，看完感觉自己又可以与残酷的人生再战500年！
小时候觉得这部动画片怎么就那么“特别”呢？现在回想起来，可能是“诡异”吧
2020的我比任何一年都更渴求被爱，掏空自我去兑换一个执念，最后变成那个荒漠里迷失的灵魂，变成在海里寻找大海的鱼。若不是这部电影，我差一点让自己感知生活的那根敏感神经彻底失灵了，还好有这部电影，让即将到来的2021年不再是漆黑一片，而是有了值得期待的花火。感谢皮克斯。
从美学到表达都属于特定时期、特定班底的特殊产物，对于如今所谓的国产动画，其实没太大启示性。
以前看这部片子哭。别人说是因为我善良，我洋洋得意，但是今天偶然明白，我哭是因为我明白22号。我为春夏秋冬而感动，我享受沐雨披阳，但我同时也不想活。对有些人来说，活着已经很努力了
看完没有被鸡汤到 反而失落的很 我热爱生命 敬畏自然 保持一双发现美与善的眼睛 我的家人爱我 朋友支持我 我特别健忘什么事情都不记得 我不控制食欲想吃什么就马上吃 可是我都觉得活着好不开心啊 没有“火花” 没有梦想 没有热爱 没有一技之长 赤裸地来赤裸地去 又何苦非要白白走这一遭呢
我顶着豆瓣9.2我也要说，皮克斯就这？还碰瓷头脑？车3都不如；故事主题是挺安慰社畜的，可是这剧本写的就有问题还没讲好；全电影都很赶，和看2倍速一样，全是剧情推着角色在走，打npc呢？皮克斯这点一直都不改；故事感情就摸了一下树叶这么简单就懂了？结尾还大团圆？主角牺牲的意义呢？不如《头脑特工队》和《Coco》一颗脚趾头…连《赛车总动员3》里面主角的退休的感情都比这部有感染力…
什么时候东方哲学才能用如此的形式重新出发呢。
很好看啊。简直像是我编剧的。人不是只能为了宏大的理想或意义而活，能发现一片叶子的美，同样难得。不要被“意义”困住，不要因为找不到意义而不开心，很多人终其一生都触不到那个高高在上的意义，触碰到了或许也会发现不过如此。而如果能在繁琐的生活里发现细微的快乐，自己开心，也让身边人开心，这就是意义。快乐就是最大的意义，因为只有这种意义可以传递。
你们怎么可以辣么对待认真计数的人呢哈哈哈哈哈
如果说宫崎骏式的手绘动漫在用动画造梦，那么皮克斯则无疑是用动画还原现实的担当，而在这些高度还原的作品中，我们能看到每一处与我们生活相似的细节，在某个时刻跟随那些动画人物一起，或喜或悲，或哀或怒，而当所有的情绪释放，皮克斯总能用他特有的温情感动你，他会不厌疲倦地告诉你生活也许没有你想的那么糟糕，虽然它也不知道怎么去安慰你，很多时候只能是笨拙地在原地喃喃自语，但它依然会暂时止住你溢出的对生活的不满，用无声的画面告诉你，在世界的另一个角落，有一群人在乎你，并以将你拥入怀中为使命，这是我在SOUL中看到的，也或许是我真正爱皮克斯的原因。
