Sausage party is a film made in 2016 and directed by Conrad Vernon and Greg Tiernan. The film genre is comedy that puts a humorous twist to modern day issues and political topics such as like racism, sexism, religion and … (deception of the meaning of the afterlife). In this animated film, the characters are represented as food in a supermarket who perceive human customers are gods. After the grocery items are purchased, they believe that they will enter an afterlife, like heaven. I believe the film is a perfect example of an existential piece because they capture similar themes and examples that were expressed by Kierkegaard, Heidegger and Sartre.
In the film, the main character, Frank the sausage, is a big believer on the concept that the …show more content…
Before the illusion of the gods was created the non-perishables, many grocery items were in disarray, lacked drive and passion.

In contrast, the non-perishables changed that narrative by filling the groceries’ minds with optimism about the world outside of the supermarket.

Everything is indeed permitted if God does not exist, and man is in consequence forlorn, for he cannot find anything to depend upon either within or outside himself (211).
This means if God was dead (or the idea of God) or silent, there would be no guidelines, leaving us to do what we want with no regret. It is this that causes Frank to go against the public, while knowing that he would be seen as crazy. Since he knows the truth that there is no god(s), he does not care of the about the aftermath of his actions.
In conclusion, Sausage Party is great film that on the surface seem to be just an adult comedy but explores real in-depth issues throughout the story. It is a notable example of an existential piece of art. As I stated it give examples from three existential thinkers and their ideals. I strongly recommend this film if anyone looking for a funny representation of the struggle to find
