Finding Nemo Journey
Finding Nemo is a film where a clown fish named Marlin living in the Great Barrier Reef loses his son, Nemo at a school excursion to the open sea. After Marlin’s despite warnings about the danger of the sea, Nemo gets taken away by a bunch of divers taken back to a Sydney dentist office. When his son was taken away from him, Marlin goes on a journey to rescue him. Throughout the journey Marlin has his up and downs but in the end he learns how to not be afraid and to let go and believe through humour from Dory, a lost fish he met at the start of his journey. A journey is defined as a transition from one place to another and Finding Nemo directly relates to this from its plot line, a physical journey from point A to point B and how much Marlin …show more content…
Once his son is captured Marlin goes to extreme lengths to get him back and on the way changes as a person. He meets all sorts of animals he never though he would meet or see and learns from each and every one of them. For example, Dory, a lost and confused fish who has no real direction in life due to her terrible memory and absent presence of mind. Dory miraculously remembers everything when she is around marlin and proves to him that not everything is as bad as it seems and to look at the bright side of life instead of only the negatives. An example of this is "P.Sherman 42 Wallaby Way, Sydney", the location of Nemo. Marlin was only looking at the negatives of the situation like the distance getting there, the fact that they might get eaten, losing their way and ending up in the middle of the sea instead, being stuck with a lunatic who will not let him be by himself for any period of time and not reaching his son whilst dory provides a positive aspect to the film with her cluelessness and innocence. Dory becomes an influential character because she shapes Marlin's way of thinking through her speaking manner, recklessness and her willingness to try new

    In the thrilling adventure, Finding Nemo, directed by Andrew Stanton and Lee Unkrich, Marlin, the father of Nemo, goes through life very cautiously, scared from everything that seems unsafe for him and his son. He has been like this ever since his wife, Coral, passed away trying to save her baby eggs. Nemo was the last egg left so Marlin had to protect him with his life. First of all, while Marlin is taking Nemo to school he tells him “That's my boy. So, first we check to see that the coast is clear. We go out and back in. And then we go out, and back in. And then one more time--out and back in. And sometimes, if you wanna do it four times--” (Stanton, Unkrich, X:XX) This shows that Marlin tries to keep his son safe from everything around him.…

    Hi, teacher and fellow classmates. Today I will be talking about how a journey can have positive and negative impact on an individual. Journeys are not just limited to the process of physically travelling as an emotional journey can be seen in self-exploration and imaginative journeys can occur to transport an individual from reality into an unreal world. Michael Gow’s play script of Away, relates to the challenges, goals and discoveries which are achieved by the characters Tom, Coral and Gwen as they endure physical, emotional and imaginative journeys, whilst the film To Kill a Mockingbird, directed by Robert Mulligan in 1962 utilises the innocence of childhood to convey three personal journeys as demonstrated through characterisation and cinematic techniques.…

    However, throughout the story she serves as a great help to Marlin in finding his son, and she also helps Marlin understand that he “has to let go.” Not only is she an example of the supernatural aid because she helps Marlin on his “quest” to save his son; she is a mentor and helps him transition from being a stickler to being more “free” and helps him live a better life in the end. The specific “initiation” example of this movie is “the road of trials.” The road of trials could be when Dory and Marlin are confronted by the Sharks who are holding a Shark style AA meeting, or when they have to bounce over the jellyfish through a sea of jellyfish, or when they are almost eaten by a giant fish with a light on its head. Any of these trials or tribulations could be used as an example for the road of trials, because this is when Marlin starts to not be so “safe” and starts to transition into a more “free” character. The last example would be the “return”, the example of the return falls under “the crossing of return threshold.” At the end of the movie Nemo is back at school and Marlin is saying goodbye to…

    In this book a quite outstanding character is Captain Nemo. Captain Nemo is the captain of the Nautilus, and he has vowed to never return to solid land. Throughout the whole story his character is mysterious, but after every event a little aspect of him is revealed to the reader. A great aspect is his loyalty. His loyalty is clearly portrayed when a crew member dies and he cries. “As I said, Captain Nemo wept while staring at the waves. His grief was immense.” (Verne, 417). Here we see how Captain Nemo is very loyal, and even thought it was just a crew member he loved him as if he was family. Even though he was very loyal he still considered himself above humans. “I'm the law, I'm the tribunal! I'm the oppressed,…
