Very Inspiration Movie!

Rating: Null/10 (14 August 2003)

I thought Finding Nemo was one of the best films I have ever seen. Not only did it have excellent animation but it also had a heartwarming story as well. If one were to peel back the layers of this story, some powerful lessons in the game of life could be found. Although the main characters are portrayed as colorful tropical fish, it is easy to apply these messages to ourselves as well. Two lessons from this movie were especially appealing to me. The first was Marlin and the way he overcame his fear of leaving his home and losing sight of his son Nemo. That is quite understandable, for Marlin had gone through a very tragic incident with the destruction of his mate and all but one of his eggs. When Nemo was taken away by divers, he did not just give up and accept that he would never see his son again. He went after his son, faced his fears, overcame enormous obstacles, and discovered the value of trust with another fish he had befriended along the way. The next lesson occurred when Nemo got stuck in the filter and Gill insisted that he get himself out. Nemo assumed that his gimpy fin was an obstacle and would therefore make it impossible for him to get out. Also, his dad always helped him in those situations. When Nemo got himself out, the expression was of confidence and pride. A disability does not mean that person can do less than anyone else. The values of trust, letting go, and facing your fears in the setting of the fascinating ocean environment, along with the comic relief of Dory, proved an ingenious way of making an excellent film. I hope viewers will take the opportunity to take the messages to help themselves grow as people. I know I did.
