At the end of the day it was a beautiful movie and it would have gotten a stellar review from me had they not used the fact that there would be a black main character to market it.

Every ad, trailer, and spoiler showed this black man as a muscisian who dies. They used the double entendre of the word soul to get all the black people to watch this movie thinking it was going to be about one thing and then turned around and made it something entirely different.

Whenever they make a movie with black people they make sure that we end up villians or we turn into some kind of animal/being.

Princess and the frog- Tiana was a frog 95% of the movie and the voodoo man was evil. They made sure that there was the white well of friend that she could be compared to also.

Now if we go into other diverse movies people should see they dont do that.

CoCo — Not one white person in there stealing their light. They represented their culture, their family, their style and everything perfectly.

Moana- another one that went full in. You didnt have moana befriend a white chick on her way to find maui.

Mind you, with both coco and Moana they spent YEARS researching everything about these cultures. They hired people who shared the same backgrounds and cultures and beliefs to bring their films to life.

With Soul people are missing the point that nobody is saying that its a bad movie because like I said its cute or whatever. However, if they really wanted it to be as advertised then the “blue blob” that ended up in his body would have been black as well, they wouldve focused more on WHY his mother felt the way she did about his profession. They wouldve made sure to highlight and do back stories and flash backs showing this mans life and why he was the way he was like they DO EVERY OTHER MOVIE!

They used the racial tension that was already going and they released this as a way to make it seem like hey look we' re representing yall when really the only thing that we can compare is that the music was fire and the man skin tone kinda looks like ours.

If the white angry people in this comment section would stop defending the movie and see the big picture they would realize that AGAIN the movie is cool. It had a good moral BUT they made sure that a white person led it.

Idc what anyone says I remember white people already giving bad reviews before the movie was even released but once they seen “oh we still own the screen” the movie was all of a sudden the best thing created.

Sorry kind sir, didnt mean to bombard your post but geesh this comment section irked me.
