Nemo is a small clownfish, who is very adventurous and playful. While his father thought that he was too young to go to school, Nemo brims with the excitement. And it was his inexperience and childish that led to his unexpected abduction. Nemo is a typical symbol for the youth who has curiosity, enthusiasm, bravery and also ebullience. He dares to risk and yearns for adventure especially when he has motivity. Sometimes it is nothing but his immature makes him get into troubles. When every difficulty was overcome, Nemo really grows up and his adventure is exactly the same as people’s life adventure to reach adulthood.
Another main symbol of the film is Nemo’s father – Marlin. He is an over-protective father because Nemo was the only surviving child he had after the death of his wife and other offsprings. He is always afraid of the ocean and rarely trusts anyone – a typical symbol of someone who knew the feeling of lost. It is the reason why his son- Nemo- does not believe that it could be his father traveling hundreds miles, fighting against shark, jellyfish.. to look for him. Marlin is also a typical of parents who does not believe in the children.
He always thinks that Nemo is not mature enough even when he found Nemo. After all the adventure, Marlin learns that he has to believe in his son and himself either. The adventure brings Marlin and his companion face-to-face with sharks, deep-sea anglers, fields of poisonous jellyfish, sea turtles, pelicans, and much more. After all, Marlin rises above his neuroses and learns to take risks. The whole adventure is a symbol of the family love, friendship and also challenges in life. Nothing could be more noble than parents love, by which we might discover a bravery inside that we never knew.
The Essay on Morrison and the Adventures of Huckleberry Finn
In Toni Morrison’s essay about The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, she discusses the racial problems and the use of the word “nigger” in the book. Morrison talks about the word embarrasses, bored, and annoyed her, but that “name calling is a plague of childhood”. She also talks about how there is a fatherhood issue throughout the book. She talks about how Huck can’t settle down ...
Parents would try all their best to save the children, no matter how many difficulties they had to face. Dory is a friendly but forgetful company of Marlin on the way finding Nemo. In contrast to Marlin, she is a naive and over- optimistic blue tang fish that is both helpful and a hindrance to him, sometimes at the same time. Dory not only becomes a symbol of optimistic people, but also a symbol of faith especially in friendship. Her optimism proves an invaluable quality to help Marlin overcome the impossible.
Sometimes we should just “keep swimming” because the worry could not solve the problem. Moreover, Dory taught Marlin and also the audience that “Trust is what friends do” and in some case we have to trust to move on. Friendship in particular and love in general all needs faith. Besides the three protagonists, other antagonists also play an important role and become typical sumbols. Bruce, Anchor and Chum are sharks that Marlin and Dory met on the way. These three sharks were tormented by their natural urge to eat fish and their resulting unpopularity amongst the general ocean population.
Although they made their best to give up their instinct by swearing off, but is was so hard to get out of this “bad” habit. They are symbolized for the people who are awared of their defects but realising it was not easy at all. In addtition to three vegetarian shark, the 150-year-old sea turtle is a symbol. This turtle was old at age but young at heart. He was the one who helped Marlin and Dory so much, and also taught Marlin a valuable lesson. In our mind, turtle was a symbol of something patient and steady. After watching the movie, now they are also a good example of parents.
They totally believe in their children’s ability. They has proved that ” you never really know” when your children was strong and mature enough but “when they know you know you know”. Protection is good but we have to let them go by themselves. Finding Nemo was really a “spectacularly beautiful animated adventure for everyone” – not just because of hilarious adventure to look for a curious and impressionable six-year-old fish but also the meaning that implied in the symbols. Although the film is about the marine life and sea creatures, it symbolizes the real human- being world of us.
