Variety: Moviegoers think they understand the life of a screenwriter. Thanks to “Sunset Boulevard,” “In a Lonely Place,” “Barton Fink,” “The Player,” “The Muse,” “Seven Psychopaths,” “Adaptation,” “Trumbo,” “Mank” and others, the image is clear: Scripters are friendless, cynical people hunched over a solitary keyboard, plagued by self-doubt and studio interference.

I really enjoyed Soul. I thought the animation was not only beautiful but also unique and the plot was engaging and fun. It was fascinating to learn about the writing process and how it differed compared to a standard process. The writers worked together communicating daily for nearly two years. The writers also reflected on how they missed the community aspect the physical space of Pixar provided and of course the delicious food. I think that now it is so hard to have causal interactions with people, especially those you may not know so well. Everything has to be so planned and coordinated, there is no more small talk or running into people in the hallways anymore. I feel as if spontaneity has been lost. I think unfortunately it will be a long time before this is regained. In all honesty, it has made starting college really difficult because you can no longer meet a lot of people in a casual way. It also I believe is detrimental to the creative process as well because it is significantly harder to collaborate online, in part I think because of the loss of spontieity.
