Finding Nemo Psychology

It is noticeable in a couple scenes from the movie. The first is on Nemo’s first day of school after Nemo and Marlin are all ready to leave Marlin makes Nemo exit , enter then re-exit the sea anemone three times before Marlin deems it suitable for them to leave. Marlin even goes as far as saying they could do it a fourth time if they wanted to. Marlin believes that if he and Nemo do not do this every time they leave their house they could get seriously injured from someone who is waiting outside for both clown fish to leave.

The beloved Disney movie Finding Nemo features both a colorful underwater landscape and a psychologically diverse cast of characters. From the obsessive Bubbles (a fish obsessed with bubbles) and Gurgle (the germophobic fish at the dentists office), to the shark trio that refuses to eat fish, and the confused Deb, who thinks her reflection is actually her twin sister, Flo, most of the characters in the movie seem to exhibit some sort of quirky condition. Nemo himself has a physical disability (his “lucky fin”) that he learns to overcome in order to develop self-confidence. Marlin also exhibits anxiety and trust issues, which he overcomes throughout the course of the movie. One of the main characters, Dory, has a specific disability that she must learn to adapt to in order to complete her journey: short-term memory loss.

What is the typical idea of a hero? Sure, there may be Marvel Heroes, but do they fit the archetype of a The Hero’s Journey? In the movie Finding Nemo directed by Andrew Stanton, a small fearful clownfish goes on a life changing adventure after his son had been taken by a scuba diver. Marlin’s journey has its ups and downs but it fits the pattern of the hero’s journey archetype almost perfectly. Joseph Campbell said, “A hero ventures forth from the world of common day into a religion of supernatural wonder. Fabulous forces are there encountered and a decisive victory is won, the hero comes back from this mysterious adventure with the power to bestow boons on his fellow men” (Campbell). Marlin does exactly that. He goes from the ordinary world into the sacred world in search for his treasure, his son, Nemo.

All things considered, while it's not as reliably paramount as "Toy Story 3" or "The Incredibles" it's likewise not as hazard loath as, say, "Overcome." Regardless of whether you can cite quite a bit of "Finding Nemo" from memory, or have no clue what truly matters to me talking, you will presumably appreciate this continuation – and topical bandy aside, "Discovering Dory" is a strong, comprehensively engaging passage in the Pixar group. It doesn't reform its classification or push the limits of the artistic expression – however hello, not each film truly needs. A mainstream theme that has been swaying about the web nowadays: Will the late spring of Hollywood's spin-off and prequel film industry discontent ricochet back with the landing of "Discovering Dory," Pixar and Disney's twofold plunge reverse somersault into the same energized pool of undersea creatures that pushed 2003's wondrously charming "Discovering Nemo"? Subsequently, it is a help to note that the follow-up has a lot of passionate snares, some awesome lines and is no stinker, regardless of essentially taking after what sums to a similar plot present as before but to the Pacific Coast of California rather than the Great Barrier Reef of

Both being clown fish, Nemo and Marlin live in the ocean, in the anemone. Marlin is Nemo’s father who is viewed as being overprotective towards Nemo. Marlin portrays the characteristic of being overprotective because while Nemo was in the egg as a baby, one of his fins was damaged. Nemo, tired of his overprotective father decides that he wants to prove himself by swimming into the open ocean. However, things do not turn out very well and Nemo is captured by a scuba diver.

The purpose of this essay is to watch the movie and try to view the main character from three personality theorists’ perspectives. In the movie Finding Nemo, Marlin was a clown fish who lost his son, Nemo, in the vast ocean. Along his journey to find his son, he ran into Dory, a blue tang fish who suffered from short term memory loss. Dory provided moral support and comfort in this search that Marlin has been missing for years. This essay will analyze Dory in the movie Finding Nemo through Carl Rogers self-actualization theory, Maslow’s Hierarchy of needs, and Friedman and Rosenman’s personality behavior type.

By the time that Marlin and Dory get to Nemo, he is on his way to being in a bag for the dentist’s granddaughter, she is very mean to her fish and kills them before she can get home. Marlin and Dory finally get to the office, and Nemo is in the bag and playing dead so that he can get flushed back into the ocean. Marlin thinks his son is dead and gives up on trying to save him, little does he know Nemo isn’t really dead. Nemo’s plan actually works and he gets back to the ocean and finds Dory just swimming around because Marlin left her, because he has giving

Thus, many adults had a problem with this movie. The movie is addressed to not only children but adults as well. My adults are stubborn and don’t like things that are not how they see it. These parents have metathesiophobia. Also, those adults believe that the kids should not be watching these types of movies that shows them how to be rebellious. These parents focus on the parts of the movie that were irrelevant like how Elsa ran away. Other adults who see the positive difference between the old Disney movies and the new Disney movies encourage their kids to watch it and recommend other parents to watch it with their kids. It is parents like those who have helped changed the perspective of the medias role in our socialization. Media has always been negative towards women and the role they have in the world. But movies like “Brave” and “Frozen” are helping change those perspective in a positive way.

In Finding Nemo, the first aspect of self-concept development seen by viewers is the reflected appraisal theory. Reflected appraisal is the process by which a person’s self-concept is influenced by his or her beliefs concerning what other individuals think of him or her. The first use of reflected appraisal theory is between Nemo and Marlin, his father. This is seen on Nemo’s first day of school when Marlin grabs Nemo before he gets the chance to swim in open water. When the other kids at school start swimming into open water, at first Nemo is apprehensive and does not follow his peers because he knows Marlin’s lack of faith in his swimming abilities. Nemo is so convinced of this that it has become a part of his identity. Likewise, Marlin doubts Nemo’s ability to take risk, swim well and handle going to school. Nemo then goes and swims in open water to prove to his father that he is successful in taking risk, a strong swimmer and mature enough to handle going to school. Once Nemo gets to the tank, he begins to actually believe what Marlin has been says and looking down upon himself. When Nemo gets stuck in the tank’s filter, he asks Gill for help because Nemo is starting to believe that he is a bad swimmer. Gill says he got himself in, so he can get himself out, but Nemo uses his bad fin as a crutch. Gill is not willing to listen to excuses and forces Nemo to get out of the filter himself. This helps to build Nemo’s confidence in himself and begin to develop a new identity.

When Nemo is at his first day of school, he and three of his fellow friends are looking off the edge of the coral reef when they

On his pursuit he meets a blue fish named Dori, who has a memory problem. She undoubtedly is annoying to Marlin and he gets very impatient with her when she continues to repeat herself. Against his better judgment he agrees to let her help him find his lost son. For the next few days, as the movie goes, they have several encounters with other marine wildlife that according to Marlin are dangerous. First they encounter three sharks which are known to be solely meat eaters but they join the sharks and spend some time with them that show them that not all sharks are that way but some feel that fish should be thought of as "friends, not food" as the sharks like to say. With this knowledge he begins to trust more of the other sea creatures that he did before.

The movie then transitions to years later on Nemo’s first day of school. While ecstatic to meet his classmates, teacher, and the independence of going to school, Marlin ceases to let Nemo go smoothly due to his fear of losing his only son and the worry of his “lucky” fin (an injury acquired from the barracuda attack). After such trauma, Marlin is known to be “scared” of the ocean, filled with anxiety,
