Up a bright colorful movie packed with adventure

Rating: Null/10 (16 June 2012)

The movie "Up" is another wonderful Pixar film. I found it to be very entertaining as well as giving a good storyline for people of all ages. However the beginning was not my favorite I did however overly enjoy the rest of the movie. I loved the fact that the film was very bright and cheerful and full of adventure. Carl (Edward Asner) is a stubborn old man that is stuck in his ways and really does not seem to like people. Russell (Jordan Nagai) is a wilderness explorer who is bound determined to get his assisting the elderly badge. However, Russell did not know that he was about to be on a wild adventure with a 70 year old man, in a house flown by balloons. Carl did not expect to be on an adventure with anyone else, let alone run into a talking dog and a bird that Russell named Kevin. The theme to the movie "UP" is to never give up on your dreams and what you want out of life. Russell will not give up on getting his assisting the elderly badge and Carl will not give up on Ellie's dream. The theme of this movie matches the theme in the movie the "Incredibles", with never giving up on your dreams and what you want out of life. There are many techniques in the movie "Up" that show us the theme of the movie. The lighting is very bright and cheerful that goes against the gray old face of Carl. The angles in the movie make you feel like you are a part of the action. When they are flying in the air and have to go a different direction, you feel as if you are in the house as well. The angels also help you too see the reactions off all of the people involved. I think that this film gave you a good sense on the fact that if you stick with what you want to do in life that in one way or another you can and will get the job done. Russell and Carl were both faced with tough obstacles that kept getting in the way of what they wanted to accomplish but they always seemed to get through them. I think that this is a good kid's movie on how hard sometimes you have to work just to get a wilderness explorer badge.
