  Pixar somehow finally managed to answer the question &quot;What is the meaning of life?&quot;<br><br>To live.

  This is one of my favorite Pixar movies!! I related to it so heavily during the pandemic while I was in grad school and very depressed. I really really needed the message.

  The first time I watched this movie, it had me ugly sobbing. As someone who has been struggling with depression for many years, I was so incredibly touched seeing a story about trying to find a reason to live. About realizing that maybe you don&apos;t need some grand purpose, some clear-cut goal, some defined meaning of life. That your spark is whatever gives you the strength to get up in the morning and face another day. That your spark is something you keep finding over and over, something that can be found anywhere. That your spark can simply be the appreciation of being alive. It&apos;s not an easy message to internalize and definitely not an easy one to convincingly put across, but I think this movie did it brilliantly. I understand why it wasn&apos;t very successful, but it will always hold a very special place in my heart.

  The spark is just wanting to live. The enjoy the moment of being alive. Just enjoy the breeze. The food you taste. The people you meet. The music you hear.

  Neat little thing you could miss:<br><br>When Joe shows 22 his memories, there&apos;s one where he&apos;s sitting in a diner with a piece of pie, looking dejected, making you think it&apos;s a sad memory.<br><br>But when Joe&apos;s at the piano and we see that montage of memories, we see the diner scene again, and we find out it was actually a happy memory, despite not starting out so great.<br><br>It&apos;s like the hockey memory in Inside Out. It started off sad, but because of her friends and the team, it turned happy.

  The ending really surprised me, I thought it would be the typical “I lived my life now it’s your turn” and Joe would die. I’m so happy they went the route they did, especially not explaining what Joe would do moving forward.

  I think that &quot;the spark&quot; is just the want of life; wanting to live... and not just being alive, but actually living. That&apos;s why they go to the hall of everything so they can experience everything in the hopes of finding the want of life. 😅

  Another big thing:<br><br>Joe was in the zone when he was auditioning, but not when he was actually performing.<br><br>Meaning even though he was on point and didn&apos;t miss a single note, he wasn&apos;t actually enjoying himself.

  <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yROYdtmLG04&amp;t=2405">40:05</a> &apos;Maybe regular old living IS just the purpose&apos; &nbsp;Exactly!!!! You don&apos;t need a grand purpose to justify your existence! You existing is inherently enough!

  Love the little touch where they don&apos;t show the title card until the very end, to signify that&apos;s when his life finally starts
