Review of Finding Nemo(海底总动员)

Funny, inventive and impressive, Finding Nemo is a tremendous animation that can reach the deepest part of your heart. Though the plot is somewhat childish and stereotyped, it shows us the real meaning of love.

Marlin, a clownfish, lives in the Great Barrier Reef with his only son, Nemo. Having lost his wife in a miserable accident, Marlin becomes so cautious that he is worrying about Nemo’s safety all the time. He is reluctant about sending Nemo to school. He forbids Nemo to swim for a long distance. He even prevents Nemo from talking to strangers——all of which reveal his cowardice. However, I know, the source of the so-called cowardice is love indeed.

It is similar to our parents. We teenagers always complain that they are strict, rigid and timid. We are not allowed to hang out at night. We are not allowed to travel with friends. We are not allowed to do a part-time job. They don’t allow us to do all kinds of things——except studying. Parents have prepared everything for us, and the only thing we need to do is to move along the orbit they have designed previously, without any freedom, without other choice. We are bound to be tired, but we ought to understand them. Parents interfere excessively in our life, just because they love us, and want us to be better. They hope us to have a brilliant

future, more eager than anyone else, even ourselves. Though their anticipation may differ from our desire absolutely.

Now back to the film. On Nemo’s first scho ol day, he wanders off with several friends to the edge of the reef, where they spot a dark, mysterious shape in the distance. In order to show his bravery, Nemo swims directly towards the subtile object regardless of Marlin’s hysterical alarm, not realizing a disaster is looming. The mysterious thing turns out to be a fish boat, and Nemo is caught unfortunately.

Poor Marlin chases the fish boat fruitlessly, only to see his son disappearing in the distance. He finds out that Nemo is sent to Sydney, which is thousands of miles away from where he is. Not knowing which direction to go, Marlin dashes aimlessly, accidentally knocking into Dolly, a blue tang fish with short term memory loss. They become friends and decide to find Nemo together.

We know Marlin is kind of timid, he even can’t tell a joke in front of others, let alone risking his life to venture a long distance from Great Barrier Reef to Sydney. But there is something that inspires him to head towards his son without any hesitation, despite all the danger and pain.

That thing is love.

It is love that helps him survive the attack of sharks.

It is love that makes him swim into the sea trench and fight with
