In front of me sat the two scholars on the panel (more on them later) watching the film. There was a lot of laughing. I found myself laughing at parts I never realized were that funny. People came up after and said they also cried, or were choked up. It was a very emotional experience for many people. You know, its not Oscar buzz, but its just as powerful to hear things like that. But if anyone out there has some Oscar buzz for Soul, that is also something we'd like to hear about.
