The tale of “Finding Nemo” took place underwater with the clownfish Marlin in the deep sea of Australia .Marlin’s spouse and baby fish eggs get eaten by a vicious shark. In the beginning, all except one was survived which Marlin named it Nemo.
Years later Nemo was a bit older, he looked forward to fish school for the first time. But his father Marlin was overcautious in small matters all the time. Marlin extremely over-protect of his one remaining family member because of the fact that his wife and babies were killed years ago. Little Nemo was expecting to take a risk, so he swam towards a fishing boat to prove how brave he was while playing with his classmates. But Nemo get captured by a scuba-diving dentist just after swaying his little tail with a strong satisfaction of victory in his heart.
Marlin was so concerned with Nemo’s destiny that he decided to swim to Sydney to get Nemo back regardless of the hardness and danger. That times Marlin survived himself from the shark’s pursuing and capturing discouraged him. Fortunately, his newfound companion Dory was so kind-hearted. Dory had short-term memory and forgot things sooner.
Thus, the two fishes suffered from different kinds of crises and made friends of every description during the journey in the Pacific Ocean. And with the help of Dory, Marlin gradually learned the way using courage and love to defeat fear and knew the truth that there must be something worth taking a risk and have a crake in one’s life. Finally, Marlin overcame difficulties to get together with Nemo. Then they went back to their home safely.
In the end, Marlin turned to be a true hero in Nemo’s mind’s eye while he had been a coward who was even despised by his own son.
“Finding Nemo” is another result by the cooperation of Disney and Pixar after the film with toys, bugs and monsters. They repeat their own formula that was too familiar to themselves. They present a distorted view of our world through the eyes of a community of creatures which we rarely notice. We have no choice but to admire the imagination and creativity of the Pixar Studios. Pixar Studios may have the most advanced animation technology in the world, but they never forget that what matters in a movie are story, characters, imagination and heart.
When the movie started, I was attracted by the colorful undersea scene at the first glance. The play of light on the water was breathtaking. Several of ocean species existed vividly and vigorously on the screen. I admired the ocean view from Marlin’s new home on a coral reef while he uttered the first word “Wow!” This film is really a feast for the eyes and ears. All the characters are based on real-life ocean species. In order to preserving the essential as a fish, the talented people provided that voices that also made the fishes have a wonderful expression. It seems only fair to say that they created performances as full and varied as they have ever been on the screen. While the keynote of “Finding Nemo” is comedy with humor, there are also some serious themes lurking beneath the surface. The ocean is portrayed as a genuinely menacing place, full of danger and destruction. So there a re some scary moments in this film. At the beginning, marlin’s wife and all but one of their eggs were eaten by a predator. On the way, Marlin and Dory were pursued and attacked by the shark Bruce who had big sharp teeth. They also had an experience landing themselves in a predicament because of the jellyfishes in groups. The writer wanted to handle the tense storylines discreetly enough, but this little “potty humor” still might be upsetting to some viewers.
In despite of some scars, Marlin and Dory were both safe later. Marlin’s crippling anxieties about anything and everything were balanced by Dory’s another kind of ethos that one should always forget the past, swim and just keep swimming. Marlin and Dory stood for different extremes on the way dealing with problems, but they can be regarded as a wonderful pair of partners from another angle.
Meanwhile, in the aquarium Nemo had made some very good friends including the tough tiger fish Grill. Grill came from “the big blue” while the other fishes said the y came from a pet market or someone’s home, even the Internet. How poor the pet fishes are! They don’t know what the ocean is and what the planet they living like.
Their destinies are controlled by mankind completely. Due to the eager desire for freedom, Grill constantly tried to escape. By doing so, Grill had suffered major injuries. Finding resemblance on Nemo, Grill helped Nemo plan an escape before the dentist could give Nemo to his niece. And with the help of grill, Nemo saved himself with his stunted fin when he was suffered in that narrow tube. The underdeveloped fin always made Marlin anxious about protecting Nemo although Marlin named it “lucky fin” to make Nemo feel confident and unselfconscious. Thus Nemo had a contradictory attitude that he wanted to prove he can take care of himself and sometimes he was powerless. Finally, Nemo succeeded thanks to Grill’s confidence and encouragement. Nemo’s final success didn’t caused by blind heroism, but the cooperation among friends. This kind of leadership is more suit the society than the aptitude nowadays.
This film gives a lesson about parenting to parents. Marlin looked after Nemo carefully, he didn’t want Nemo to go to school and never let him practice over ten minutes. All the overprotection made Nomo never really grown up. But the big turtle took it for granted that the little turtle baby should experienced exciting adventures. It shows a new balance that parents wish to protect
their children from injouried physically or emotionally with the need to let them grow up and learn how to take care of themselves.
In the movie, there is another classical shot impressed me. When the creature undersea talked about man’s invasion, they satirically said Americans made the biggest quantities of troubles. It is really a determined active for Disney to expose the destruction of the nature from America themselves.
As a movie designed for the children, there are really no completely bad guys in “Finding Nomo”. For example, the 8-year-old girl was looked for as a murder whose record with fish portends a short life pan by the fishes living in the dentist’s aquarium. She played a negative role in this movie perhaps just on account of her ignorance, thoughtless and curiosity about the fish kind. It is another joke that t he sharks are so friendly, they kept remaining “Fishes are friends, not food”. Near the end of the movie, Marlin and Dory swam together with sharks with a little note of unease.
There is no angry, jealous, greedy or murderous element in the end. This film gives us a big happy ending as almost every traditional Disney animated stories.。
