Marlin, Nemo’s father, is suffering from depression and PTSD. This can be seen by observing the way Marlin acts towards Nemo going to school. Marlin is very overprotective of Nemo. Along Marlin’s journey to find Nemo, Marlin meets another fish named Dory. Dory has ADD, which stands for attention deficit disorder. Dory has this because she cannot keep her attention on something for a long period of time. She often forgets what she is doing, where she is going, or what recently happened around her. When Marlin and Dory start to look for Nemo together, they come across three sharks. The sharks are Bruce, Anchor, and Chum. The sharks have an addiction to eating fish. At first, they try to keep themselves from eating fish, but when Dory gets a cut, Bruce’s addiction comes out.…

In his book, The Hero With a Thousand Faces, Joseph Campbell sets forth his theory that there is a monomyth which underlies all folk tales, myths, legends, and even dreams. Reflected in the tales of all cultures, including Chinese, Hindu, American Indian, Irish, and Eskimo, this monomyth takes the form of a physical journey which the protagonist (or hero) must undergo in order to get to a new emotional, spiritual, and psychological place. The monomyth is a guide which integrates all of the forces of life and provides a map for living. Joseph Campbell describes a hero's journey as a cycle where the person is a hero from birth. This holds true for the character of Huck Finn because he fits the description of a hero in The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn. There are different parts of the hero's journey that can be applied to Huck, such as the first stage which is known as the innocent world of childhood. A stage further on in the journey is the initiation while the last stage is known as the freedom to live. All three of the stages can be used to describe a specific time in Huck's life.…

Joseph Campbell, a well know mythologist states in “the Power of Myth” that “a hero is someone who has given his or her life to something greater than oneself” (Campbell 151). Campbell also indicates that there are two types of hero deeds. One type is a physical deed, “in which the hero performs a courageous act in battle or saves a life” (Campbell 151). The second is a spiritual deed, “in which the hero learns to experience the supernatural range of human spiritual life and then comes back with a message” (Campbell 152). In his story “The way of the peaceful Warrior”, Dan Millman tells us about his experience with a white bearded man known as Socrates who takes him on many adventures and gives him knowledge on life. Although the two stories are different they are alike in many ways. Campbell introduces us to the hero’s journey and the step required on becoming a hero. In Dan Millman’s, story we see how those steps of the hero’s journey such as departure, fulfillment and return are portrayed.…
Finding Nemo shows both physical journeys and inner journeys. The two physical journeys shown in the film belong to Marlin and Nemo. Marlin’s journey is to find his lost son. This involves swimming from his home in a tropical reef, out into the open ocean, and eventually into Sydney Harbour. As well as the physical trek, Marlin also must undertake an inner journey to find Nemo. He must face his fears of the open ocean, and leaving the security of his home. When Marlin does find Nemo, at the climax of the film, he must learn to let his son go when Nemo tries to save Dory and hundreds of other fish from a fishing net. Stanton shows Marlin overcoming this final inner obstacle through a still moment involving the father and son, in which Marlin lets Nemo’s fin go, symbolising him finally accepting that his son can take care of himself.…
In the thrilling adventure, Finding Nemo, directed by Andrew Stanton and Lee Unkrich, Marlin, the father of Nemo, goes through life very cautiously, scared from everything that seems unsafe for him and his son. He has been like this ever since his wife, Coral, passed away trying to save her baby eggs. Nemo was the last egg left so Marlin had to protect him with his life. First of all, while Marlin is taking Nemo to school he tells him “That's my boy. So, first we check to see that the coast is clear. We go out and back in. And then we go out, and back in. And then one more time--out and back in. And sometimes, if you wanna do it four times--” (Stanton, Unkrich, X:XX) This shows that Marlin tries to keep his son safe from everything around him.…

"Santiago, throughout his hardships of his three-day fight with the marlin, displays courage by keeping at the task, no matter how tired he gets, and 'going the distance, ' (Dwiggins). This "going the distance" she speaks of is not only the fact that he went the distance by holding onto the marlin, and not letting it go, but also going out farther than the rest of the fisherman normally would. Not only did he go further than the fisherman in that factor, but also in the factor of vowing for a fight with the Marlin to the death. He was not going to let go, no matter the cost. "Just as Santiago goes 'far out ' beyond the lesser ambitions of the other fishermen, he finds the great fish not simply because he was the better fisherman, but because, in a symbolic sense, he deserves it," (Davis 6). Why does Santiago…

It is sometimes harder to do things alone, than it would be if someone helped. Dory played a huge role in helping to find Nemo. She remembered the address of the dentist office, and without her, Marlin would have had no idea where he was going or how to get there. On the way to this mysterious dentist office, Dory and Marlin come across a school of fish, and Marlin asks them the direction to the strange address. The fish point them due north, and the two fish are on their way. Without the school of helpful friends, Dory and Marlin might never have found their way to Nemo. A little while later, Dory and Marlin stumble upon a group of laid-back turtles that don’t seem to have a care in the world. They are drifting in a current, and Dory and Marlin ask if they can join them. The turtles are exceptionally accepting, and off the new pals go. Without the turtles, Marlin might never have gotten to Nemo on time. Of course, they do end up reaching him before he gets lost in the sea, and they head on their adventure home. Nemo sees a group of fish get scooped up in a huge net, and goes in for the save. He tells all of the fish to swim down. If all the fish hadn’t listened to him, they might not have been able to escape the clutch of the…
“Finding Nemo” (2003) written and directed by Andrew Stanton, and Lee Unkrich, is the story of a father-son underwater adventure featuring Nemo, a boy clownfish, stolen from his coral reef home. His timid father must then travel to Sydney and search Sydney Harbour to find Nemo. Animated feature-length films have carved a niche in American culture as a viable and enduring art form. Animated films have offered a glimpse into another world that often could not be shown by any other filmmaking means. Finding Nemo's computer-generated ocean is full of animated characters that are an absolute blast. There is some real-world scenery, but the incredible graphics make it hard to tell what's real and what's not. Disney/Pixar brings to life an ocean full of funny marine life, like forgetful Dory, and Bruce the shark with his buddies, Chum and Anchor.…
