The Journey Of Marlin And Nemo

We all know the popular family movie “Finding Nemo” a kid’s movie that tells a journey of Marlin, a father clown fish, who crosses the vast ocean to find his son Nemo. During Marlin’s journey he comes across many new and scary things, but like any good children’s movie Marlin does eventually find his son Nemo and they go back home and live happily ever after. This all sounds good right? Wrong! Looking at this movie from a psychologist point of view, or in my case a psychology students’ point of view you slowly begin to realize from the moment the movie starts each and every one of the characters in this lovely kids movie is kind of messed up in their own special way.

Endurance is a novel that explains the giant failure of a trans-Antarctic expedition. The entire operation was led by bold and brave man by the name of Sir Ernest Shackleton. The purpose of the expedition was to attempt to cross the Antarctic continent in the year 1914. It was an outrageous and at some points, a hopeless struggle for survival for Shackleton and his crew. He had a crew of twenty-eight strong and noble men, which were resilient and determined on this journey, of about two years. The book’s title, Endurance, is also the ship Shackleton and his crew used on the expedition. The ship was unfortunately crushed by the ice very early in the men’s journey, leaving them stranded on drifting ice, for about a year, but that was just the beginning.

Late 1600s explorers from french led an expedition to Minnesota. In 1858 Minnesota became a state in the united states the 32 to be exact on may 11.The french and Indian war ended and British took over the eastern Minnesota but British only owned the land for 20 years when the us took over it after the revolutionary war. Thomas Jefferson sent people out to explore and learn about the new land after the lusiana purchase. In 1805 Explorer Zebulon Pike arrived in Minnesota.Hoping to find the headwaters of the Mississippi river but he found no source of the river. Later he signed a treaty with the Dakota Indians for land. Fort Snelling was the first major U.S outpost in Minnesota which was finished in 1825. Minnesota became a territory of the

What is the typical idea of a hero? Sure, there may be Marvel Heroes, but do they fit the archetype of a The Hero’s Journey? In the movie Finding Nemo directed by Andrew Stanton, a small fearful clownfish goes on a life changing adventure after his son had been taken by a scuba diver. Marlin’s journey has its ups and downs but it fits the pattern of the hero’s journey archetype almost perfectly. Joseph Campbell said, “A hero ventures forth from the world of common day into a religion of supernatural wonder. Fabulous forces are there encountered and a decisive victory is won, the hero comes back from this mysterious adventure with the power to bestow boons on his fellow men” (Campbell). Marlin does exactly that. He goes from the ordinary world into the sacred world in search for his treasure, his son, Nemo.

The first nine minutes of this film develops the tone of the rest of the film and how these two very opposite characters meet. Ellie escapes her father by jumping off the boat and swimming to shore. She is followed by body

The film I’ve chosen to analyze is the film Finding Nemo, an animated comedy-drama adventure film, directed by Andrew Shanton and Lee Unkrich. Major actors include; Alexander Gould as Nemo, Ellen DeGeneres as Dory and Albert Brooks as Marlin. The film was officially released in May 30th, 2003. This blockbuster film was nominated Best Animated Feature, also winning more than forty different awards. Nemo, an adventurous young clownfish, is unexpectedly taken from his Great Barrier Reef home to a dentist’s office fish tank. It is now up to the worrisome father, Marlin and his new friend Dory, to set off across the ocean to find Nemo. As his epic journey to find his son continues, Marlin and Dory are faced with challenging situations, which put their fears to the test; allowing them to not only create a new great friendship, but also learn valuable lessons. One of the highlighted lessons in

Although psychology class is most likely not the first thing to come to mind when watching a Disney movie, many psychological concepts can be drawn from them. In Andrew Stanton’s 2003 animated film, Finding Nemo, various psychological concepts are exemplified. Finding Nemo tells the story of an overly cautious clownfish named Marlin who losses his son, Nemo, to a pair of divers. He meets a fish named Dory who together seek to find Marlin’s son. Throughout their journey they encounter a storm of jelly fish, surfing sea-turtles, sharks participating in a “Fish are Friends, Not Food (Graham, 2003)” support group, and numerous other conflicts. Hidden between the lines of their comic misfortunes, Marlin suffers from post-traumatic stress disorder, many characters fall to acts of conformity, and altruism is a theme that defines the movie.

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

I think it is extremely crucial for everyone to get vaccinated. Diseases can easily travel from one individual to another; hence, those that are not protected are at risk. Vaccines are one convenient and safest preventive care measure available. It is recommended that people get vaccinated from birth through adulthood to provide a lifetime of protection against many diseases. Vaccinations are not only protecting your family, but also help protect others around you and help prevent the spread of these diseases to your friends and loved ones. Although we know the importance in getting vaccinated, many individuals to do as recommended, leaving them needlessly vulnerable to illness and long-term suffering. Vaccines will not give an individual the

To start off our story, we need to go from the beginning. Marlin and his wife are soon to be parents, with their many fish babies. Before they are born, a shark comes through and eats the wife and all of the babies but one. That last little fish hatches and is Marlin’s only kid, which is named Nemo. One day at school, Nemo was feeling rebellious and swam out into the open water towards a boat. Nemo is taken by the fisherman, which of course freaks out

Leadership is a skill that takes time and dedication to obtain and requires the ability to inspire a positive attitude in those around you. The leadership roles I have obtained will be useful in improving myself and the environment around me. I have been on the varsity lacrosse team since freshman year. Now that it is my senior year, I was appointed by my head coach as team captain. The position of captain has given me the opportunity to encourage younger players to continue the sport and settle disputes within the team while also providing the players with a mentor outside of lacrosse too. I met one of the incoming freshman players by inviting her to sit with me at lunch. This allowed me to build a friendship with the girl and establish a level of trust among the team.

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.

The movie then transitions to years later on Nemo’s first day of school. While ecstatic to meet his classmates, teacher, and the independence of going to school, Marlin ceases to let Nemo go smoothly due to his fear of losing his only son and the worry of his “lucky” fin (an injury acquired from the barracuda attack). After such trauma, Marlin is known to be “scared” of the ocean, filled with anxiety,

This book really grabbed me right from the beginning of the story. The story begins with the birth of fraternal twins, with the grandfather patiently awaiting the birth of the son. Right away I felt sadness when the mother and one of the twins die. The boy dies and the girl survives. The grandpa seems to not care about the girl who survived . He was longing for his grandson because he is from the Maori tribe and the tribe is waiting for the sign of a new chief to be born . The chief would lead the village and its community to greatness. Many elders have been born but none with the strength to be the next chief. The little girl was named Pai. The grandma of Pai took her home to raise her along with the grandfather. The grandfather showed

Every individual person is unique and different. How they were born and grew up in certain places truly affect their lifestyles, personalities, and even their emotions. Different demographics, ethics, and other form of a group that separate people from each other tend to have different ideas within each other. When I think about every aspect of influences that has an impact on people’s different tastes, buying habits, and their beliefs, sometimes it makes me feel so complicated.
