Finding Nemo

Finding Nemo is an animated film, set in the ocean off Australia. It begins with two clownfish, Marlin and Coral laying and fertilizing their eggs in a coral reef. A predator fish, however, attacks the family, eats Coral and destroys all the eggs except one. Therefore, Marlin dedicates his life to his one remaining offspring: Nemo. Once Nemo was born, Marlin becomes overprotective, refusing to allow Nemo to have any independence or freedom because he was afraid of losing his only son as the same way he loses his couple. Eventually, Nemo defies his father, leaves the safety of the coral reef and heads out into the open ocean where a diver captures him. Nemo defies his father because he was so overprotective with him that he was tired of him.

Therefore, in the movie Finding Nemo the concept of journey is seen clearly in an emotional way. His father, Marlin, began a long journey in order to find his son Nemo. He traveled from the middle of the ocean all the way to Sydney, Australia. Along the way he found different fishes and learned about all the dangers that are out in the open ocean. In my opinion, Marlin, can be considered a traveler and not a tourist because he actually wants to know how to get to Sydney, and he al learned about the currents of water that take him to his final destination. Also he is a traveler because he isn’t going over to Sydney for vacation, he is going there to find and rescue his son. Finally, as in every Disney movie he reunites with his son. However, Nemo also learned that if he wants something and he is willing to do it, all it needs is the will power. However, that is the way in which he got out of the aquarium he was trapped in and reunited to his dad.
