Optimism In Finding Nemo

Dory is a female fish who helps another fish named Marlin find his son. Dory fits the word “Heroism”(Babich 238) very well. She is helpful, caring, and resilient. At one point during the film Marlin wants to give up, but Dory encourages him to keep going. However she does not fit the word “Sexiness”(Babich 238) at all. Partly because she is a fish, but mostly because her being sexy would not contribute to the story at all. She doesn't need to be sexy because who she is as a character is so important to the story. she doesn't need to be sexy, to be interesting. Dory is a great example of a female protagonist in a Pixar film even though Stefan Babich says “There aren’t any. Not a single one.”(Babich 236)

Marlin is a clownfish who had a very traumatic event happen to him, that prompts his quest and journey. Marlin and his wife Coral had just become parents after finding a home for their eggs. Unfortunately, the family was faced with a barracuda attack in which Coral and all but one of the eggs died. Marlin and his one surviving egg Nemo live a cautious life, never wanting to leave the reef and enter the open ocean. One day Nemo swims out to touch the “butt” of a boat in the open ocean. He is later captured by a scuba diver, making Nemo become our damsel in distress. A damsel in distress in a vulnerable person who needs the hero to save. Even though Nemo is a not a woman he fits the description perfectly. On the other hand, we have Dory. Dory is a very crucial character in the movie’s storyline. Without her knowledge in speaking whale and reading human/english Marlin would never had been able to save Nemo. Equally

Imagine floating on a raft in the middle of the ocean. You are famished and dehydrated and on the brink of death. Sores cover your sunburnt skin, and sharks surround the raft waiting for you to fall in. But somehow you remain optimistic. You find happiness in the little things. Perhaps a rain storm passed and you were able to drink and collect water. Maybe you caught a fish or a bird to eat. It’s the little things that are keeping you alive. This is how Louie and Phil were in Laura Hillenbrand’s Unbroken. They were both very optimistic about the situation. However, their friend Mac was very pessimistic. He would not talk, ate all the chocolate rations, and was just trying to protect himself. All of these men were able-bodied, fit, and received

Just like Loung, Kerry’s determination helps her to carry on when the going gets tough. When asked where she finds the motivation for this determination, she said, “ The desire to do well in meets and improves is a big factor. And I don’t like giving up anyway!” Kerry’s determination to swim the best time possible allows her to be resilient during daily practices. Kerry’s resilience, much like Loung’s, comes from her persistence to never give in.

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. Parenting instinct kick in, and Marlin immediately swims after the boat that is now carrying Nemo. Marlin eventually loses sight of the boat, however throughout the duration of the movie, he continues to look for his son Nemo. While on his journey to find Nemo, Marlin meets a blue tang fish named Dory, who suffers from sort term memory loss (Stanton & Unkrich,2003). With the help of Dory, they are able to eventually find Nemo (Stanton & Unkrich, 2003). Come

The motion picture we are applying or using is Pixar's "Finding Nemo". Our hero would be Marlin, the timid clownfish who lives safe and secluded in the colorful and warm tropical waters of the Great Barrier Reef. After the devastating, life changing event when starting a family, specifically when a hostile fish devoured his wife and all his unborn kids, Marlin had been a cowardly, cautious individual who lacks socialism and simply "can't tell a joke". He limits, rescues, protects and controls Nemo, and expectations are low for Nemo's ability, due to his disability. He is somber, worried and agitated about every detail in Nemo's life. In fact, Marlin's life completely revolves around Nemo's life. Also, Marlin can't acknowledge or admit that

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.

Through much thought and contemplating, one character that I thought made significant changes throughout the movie is Marlin. Now Marlin is a clownfish from the movie Finding Nemo. Marlin makes several changes throughout the movie based solely on the problems that he is faced with and the way that he chooses to handle them. He is faced with four major problems and the choices that he makes to react to those problems changes his entire view on life. He is face with the loss of a majority of his family, confrontation with death, and finally he finds what he truly wants in life.

I watched the movie 'Hope Floats'. I have seen it several times in the past and I couldn't remember seeing any product placement ads, so I wanted to rewatch it to find out. It turned out that there were several placement ads throughout the movie. It had U-Haul printed moving boxes displayed in a couple of different scenes when Birdee moves back to Texas for several seconds each time that they were shown. At the photo shop where Birdee gets a job, different types of Kodak film packages are shown several times in different scenes for about 5-10 seconds each time. In a volleyball game at Bernice's school, the volleyball had Spalding printed many places all over it and it was shown for several seconds. At the town dance, a Bud light beer bottle

I am captivated by everything swimming and it is my ambition to share my enthusiasm with everyone on deck. Unfortunately, this is harder said than done, as I am not a boisterous individual; however, through small pep talks on deck and genuine compliments to fellow teammates I work to make steps towards my overall mission.

These emotions are important for children to learn about and be aware of especially when getting older and growing into the tween years. One of the two things I took away from this movie was that you could have more than one emotion attached to a memory. It isn’t a very hard concept to teach children but it’s more or less something that hasn’t been acknowledged on another TV show or movie. Another thing I took away from this movie is that all of your emotions play a role an important role in representing who you are for example, Riley is run by Joy, her mother is run by sadness and her father is run by anger. This could mean that Riley is inherently happy person who normally reacts with a positive out look on life, this could also mean that her mother comes off a little more reserved and some what sad and her father a little more aggressive or short tempered, this enables each person to have their own personality. I feel the biggest lesson children can take away from this movie is the idea that you are allowed to feel whatever emotion you are feeling and that is okay. You shouldn’t feel like you have to force down your emotions to make things easier for yourself and others around you, feel what you are feeling mindfully and then move

As an offspring of the 1990s, I long back ago about how often I've seen "Finding Nemo" – and given Pixar's new affinity for spin-offs, an arrival to that richly introduced submerged world was maybe unavoidable. Set quite a while after "Nemo," "Finding Dory" focuses on the cherished blue tang with memory issues, who wanders forward on a transoceanic adventure looking for her departed guardians. Appropriately, "Finding Dory" has to a lesser degree a street motion picture vibe than the first. There's Hank, a delightfully curmudgeonly octopus set on getting exchanged to an aquarium in Cleveland; Destiny, an astigmatic (and marginally ditzy) whale shark; Bailey, a self-tormentor beluga whale, whose endeavors at echolocation are a portion of the film's most clever

SpongeBob is also characterized by his friendly, good nature towards others. SpongeBob always has a cheery bright attitude that he not only shows to his friends, but to anyone in his town of “Bikini Bottom”. I try and carry this same mentality with me wherever I go. I feel that if you’re good to others, then others will be good to you. Spongebob embodies this very idea, and always has a good attitude towards not only other people, but towards life in general. His optimistic attitude is one that I very much hold, and try to keep every

The inspiration young girls may gather from the movie poster is amplified by the text above Moana’s head. “Brave Like the Sea.” This text implies that Moana is as brave as the sea, something not often portrayed by other advertisements. “Brave” is a word often applied to males only, leaving females completely out of the narrative that they could ever exhibit this trait. However, this poster flips the switch and boldly states that a female is capable of being brave, and provides a strong example for the audience.

The Little Mermaid is a story about a young girl who is not afraid of trying new things because she is willing to get out of her comfort zone to try new things. There is this specific quote that say the following; “Children have got to be free to lead their own lives.” (Korman, Cuddy 1994) The life lesson here is that we must not be afraid to try new things so that good things can happen in our life’s. One must not be afraid of new changes and must be willing to adapt to new and unknown situations. The Little Mermaid was not afraid however there was the situation that her father would now allow her to leave the sea which was there home and were he would be able to keep her safe. That would not stop her from going out of her comfort zone and wanting to try new things. Many of us especially adults will give in to being comfortable with what we have and will not want to go out and try new things. Life is full of adventures and I believe that we have to be more like the younger children and be willing to try new things because if we don’t then we will never leave that comfort zone to be able to move on with our lives. I will finish with this quote which
