Movie Reviews of Finding Nemo (Two-Disc Collector's Edition)
Movie Review: "Finding Nemo"='WINNER' of Family "G" Movie, Summer '03!
Summary: 5 Stars
Hello to all fellow parents who are awaiting a "G" Movie to show up on the Movie Marquee that is family-value-friendly, and is also quite entertaining for not only your kids who want to go see it, but by adults alike. I agree with other previous reviewers' references to "Finding Nemo's"outstanding cinematography and visual effects in the movie. The vivid, eye-catching colors of the tropical reefs and underwater environment was especially a treat for ocean-loving, fish-interested, coral reef snorkelers like our family!
Best of all was the characterization in the film's scripting, and the high caliber of talent that made this story line flow with such qualities as fear, sadness, perseverance, overcoming obstacles thrown in one's way, reliance upon others to assist us rather than trying to do it all on our own; making friends with people who we often-times misperceive at first, and then, by letting down our guard and letting that person into our lives, we find that they can become not only a person that we can bounce our feelings off of, but a potential friend, and, if we are really lucky, they could become our best friend in the making, for their compassion and caring exhibited by sticking with us,through the thick and thin, the peaks as well as the valleys that we call 'life'.
The overall theme in the movie for all kids and adults alike to remember was extremely relevant to our current problems in relationships within/between families, friends, work-places, churches, etc.: Do not judge others, lest you be judged for you seeing yourself with a higher regard or level of esteem, which is a VERY unattractive attribute to possess. :(
On the movie's positive and proactive side :), it alludes to reaching for a "Highly Desirable Attribute List", like realizing one's uniqueness from others as a blessing and not a curse; to not covet others then, and show pride for the inherent special gifts each of us have been annointed with also, and facing one's own flaws and fears, head-on, and not being ashamed to admit we are imperfect, we each carry painful or traumatic memories that can sabotage moving forward, which was the case in "Marlin's" overprotectiveness of "Nemo", after the loss he experienced at the beginning scene of the movie. "Marlin", as well as each of us, collectively, need to learn how to evaluate and learn from a past trauma or hurt, not allow it to get us 'stuck' emotionally or become overly neurotic (I say that because we as mothers, or fathers, for that matter, PARENTS in general let's say it---whew, that's a more politically correct term to use--I'll have to remember that...anyway, I don't know of many parents that don't have some overprotective or neurotic fears about their children, especially with regard to safety, their children's well-being and age-appropriate development, and their child's happiness within healthy limits. So don't worry if you're a little protective...better that in this dangerous society of ours than parents that are too permissive with their children, or, worse, who could care less about their children. I think it shows a lot of character that "Marlin" ("Nemo's" father) shows such a persistence to protect and then go try to find his lost son! Kudos for that part of the script! :)
Subsequently, by utilizing a broader view, BEYOND SELF, to "looking at the big picture", welcoming and experiencing diversity out of curiousity, knowledge, further insight, and destigmatization of the "we are better than them" mentality that, as shown at the beginning 'going to school scene' of the movie.
As long as groups tend to segregate and differentiate themselves with a 'Superiority vs. Inferiority Belief System', there will undoubtedly be continued & even heightened unrest between peoples and countries. It is sad that the idea of ever living in a 'peaceful' world has now become a Utopian concept.
We are robbing our children's generation, and their legacy onward, of the vital importance of acceptance of ALL peoples. We MUST instill the message to our children, that everyone was created equal in {God's}/Our Creator's mind's-eye! So as parents, we have a responsibility to start modeling & exercising the attributes of humility and grace to others, so our children can see by example, hear by example, and learn by walking the walk, and not just lecturing them and talking the talk. Children need positive role models to instill what is right vs. wrong.
It is our job, as parents, to ensure we get that message imprinted on our children's minds and hearts! The ensuing result will be well worth the foundational effort; by parents dropping their long-held prejudices and biases, and stopping the generational passing down of these same attitudinal biases against other peoples and cultures, we will be teaching our children the value of diversity, the mutual acceptance of one another's differences, and the burden of carrying around familial prejudices.
On a lighter note, like a good comedy, I found myself cracking up, over and over again, by the subtle jokes by "Dory"--the blue female fish who befriends "Nemo"--Ellen DeGeneres does a fantastic job of playing Dory!
My family loved it--the only thing that scared my 7 & 6 yr. olds at first was the shark part in the beginning...but once they learned that everything was going to be OK, my kids were able to relax and follow along with anticipation to the rest of the movie.
I'd suggest everyone who hasn't gone to see this movie to go and catch a matinee with your kiddos...you'll be glad you did! Thumbs up to the producers/directors and special effects staff. In my opinion, "Finding Nemo"should definitely be nominated for and win many awards in its category. GREAT JOB! Keep the Rated "G" movies coming, please! Thanks!
Summary of Finding Nemo (Two-Disc Collector's Edition)
From the Academy Award(R)-winning creators of TOY STORY and MONSTERS, INC. (2001, Best Animated Short Film, FOR THE BIRDS), it's FINDING NEMO, a hilarious adventure where you'll meet colorful characters that take you into the breathtaking underwater world of Australia's Great Barrier Reef. Nemo, an adventurous young clownfish, is unexpectedly taken to a dentist's office aquarium. It's up to Marlin (Albert Brooks), his worrisome father, and Dory (Ellen DeGeneres), a friendly but forgetful regal blue tang fish, to make the epic journey to bring Nemo home. Their adventure brings them face-to-face with vegetarian sharks, surfer dude turtles, hypnotic jellyfish, hungry seagulls, and more. Marlin discovers a bravery he never knew, but will he be able to find his son? FINDING NEMO's breakthrough computer animation takes you into a whole new world with this undersea adventure about family, courage, and challenges. Take the plunge into FINDING NEMO, a "spectacularly beautiful animated adventure for everyone" -- David Sheehan, CBS-TVA delightful undersea world unfolds in Pixar's animated adventure Finding Nemo. When his son Nemo is captured by a scuba-diver, a nervous-nellie clownfish named Marlin (voiced by Albert Brooks) sets off into the vast--and astonishingly detailed--ocean to find him. Along the way he hooks up with a scatterbrained blue tang fish named Dory (Ellen DeGeneres), who's both helpful and a hindrance, sometimes at the same time. Faced with sharks, deep-sea anglers, fields of poisonous jellyfish, sea turtles, pelicans, and much more, Marlin rises above his neuroses in this wonderfully funny and nonstop thrill ride--rarely does more than 10 minutes pass without a sequence destined to become a theme park attraction. Pixar continues its run of impeccable artistic and economic success (their movies include Toy Story, A Bug's Life, Toy Story 2, and Monsters, Inc). Also featuring the voices of Willem Dafoe, Geoffrey Rush, and Allison Janney. --Bret Fetzer
