‘Just keep swimming, swimming, swimming’ has become my life's motto. No I’m not a swimmer, but I feel this is one of the many inspirational lines out of finding nemo and continued into finding dory. To be honest I was very nervous about going to Finding Dory. With Finding Nemo being in my top 5 fav films ever. Finding Dory had big boots to fill and it didn’t disappoint.
So the plot line sounds a lot like Finding Nemo’s but it did have its own few twists. So Dory decides to find her parents, goes off the edge, loses Marlin, nearly fails and it all ends happily ever after. And that’s basically it, what do you expect it’s a children's film. While the plot line may not be very challenging or thought provoking, the messages inside the movie make

Answer: you can’t! Voiced by Ellen DeGeneres, you can’t help but love her. A blue tang fish, she is optimistic, friendly and very persistent, traits that we can only wish were more common in people. Though her weakness of short term memory loss is unavoidable it only makes her more endearing. In Finding Dory, we don’t see the short term memory loss as an annoyance but something she is trying to overcome. This makes it all the more heartbreaking when we see Dory trying to remember her parents and what happened in her past.
Marlin, woresome, killjoy, overprotective Marlin, what more can you say. Marlin (Albert Brooks) is that overdose of reality that makes this film so great. No, I don’t actually like Marlin his pessimistic personality really gets me down. But through the movie I finally understood why he is in the film. He is what makes the movie plausible and interesting.
Though I finally understood Marlin, the film was stolen by two whales; Destiny and Bailey. They are both stuck in the Marine Life Institute as recovering whales and are a much needed humorous touch, to a children's film following a blue tang with a mental disability. Bailey is my favorite, he is a beluga whale who is constantly self diagnosed and believes that he can’t use his sonar skills. Later in the movie we see him use them to track a truck on the road. Paired with Destiny the whale shark who is nearly blind and a realist. This duo adds a new layer to the film
middle of paper ... ... I heard someone say once a quote that I think fits really well, that Christians’ fight with values and it is almost impossible to fight with values. This is true and I think because you can’t necessarily fight values we have to attempt to change values and that can be much more effective with something that hits home a little more than scientific facts might. Overall, the film was a very informative film for a more homophobic audience.
The movie teaches us to look beyond the cover and into who someone is as a person. We also learn that sometimes contact with people makes us reconsider our judgement towards them, to find out the real person underneath.
The seriousness is enough to make you lose faith in humanity for a second, but catch your attention and evoke deep and reflection thought into the truth that goes on in the part of society that is unknowingly ignored by the population because it gets constantly overshadowed by media and the government. More importantly, the film reminds us that progress will move forward only when those at the top of authority realize they need to relate with and answer to the people who want change, answer to the voices of people those broken, traumatized, who truly need
...ng the underlying theme that drives the story and the movie, propels the reader and viewer to rekindle the desire to hope above all else because hope is all one has in devastating as well as dire needs. Hope overcomes despair, permits others to see your “inner light” to develop integrity which connects with honesty and trust. Hope is the inspiration to continue to live regardless of the circumstances. Red may have narrated; “Let me tell you something my friend. Hope is a dangerous thing. Hope can drive a man insane.” But, Andy Dufresne states it best: “Get busy living, or get busy dying.”
parallels to current events. District 9 is a movie with such a message, and its message
On the surface the message is don’t be afraid to be different . The story is told from the perspective of Joy Harjo , which allows the reader to know that the memoir was written with real life experiances .
...s is a good motivator. I believe that the purpose of this film is to show people that no matter who you are or what people tell you, you can always do what you set your mind to. No matter how many people tell you that you can?t do something for whatever reason, you yourself have the ability to prove them wrong, if you have the will power and the motivation you can get anything you set your mind to.
...its shows how for hundreds of years man has been faced with the same dilemma of dealing with the truth in reality. Man’s manufactured society has changed, but there have always been people craving the truth and wanting to show others the truth of reality. It is amazing to think that people ignore the truth because they don’t want to know how short life is, but it’s so cool to think that when a person steps back they can see that the same fear has spanned hundreds of years. People accept what they want and reject what they don’t like, and people’s ignorance has caused them to fail to realize that they are no different then people 1000 years ago. It is so amazing that one story can still be TRUE thousands of years later, but it makes sense because people will always find the truth to be the unsettling reality that forces people to be aware of their place in society.
This movie is a wonderful production starting from 1960 and ending in 1969 covering all the different things that occurred during this unbelievable decade. The movie takes place in many different areas starring two main families; a very suburban, white family who were excepting of blacks, and a very positive black family trying to push black rights in Mississippi. The movie portrayed many historical events while also including the families and how the two were intertwined. These families were very different, yet so much alike, they both portrayed what to me the whole ‘message’ of the movie was. Although everyone was so different they all faced such drastic decisions and issues that affected everyone in so many different ways. It wasn’t like one person’s pain was easier to handle than another is that’s like saying Vietnam was harder on those men than on the men that stood for black rights or vice versa, everyone faced these equally hard issues. So it seemed everyone was very emotionally involved. In fact our whole country was very involved in president elections and campaigns against the war, it seemed everyone really cared.
... that the film opens with. While the story may be slightly dramatic and pieces of the story “coincidentally” seem to fall into exactly the wrong place at the wrong time causing the tragedies in the film to happen, the events in this film are entirely capable of being a reality. Racism and prejudice continue to be prevalent issues in our society, but like Anthony, we can learn to overcome anything that holds us back from putting unity into practice and making our world a better place for everyone.
Although there were many concepts that were present within the movie, I choose to focus on two that I thought to be most important. The first is the realistic conflict theory. Our textbook defines this as, “the view that prejudice...
“We fight each other for territory; we kill each other over race, pride, and respect. We fight for what is ours. They think they’re winning by jumping me now, but soon they’re all going down, war has been declared.” Abuse, Pain, Violence, Racism and Hate fill the streets of Long Beach, California. Asians, Blacks, Whites and Hispanics filled Wilson High School; these students from different ethnic backgrounds faced gang problems from day to night. This movie contains five messages: people shouldn’t be judgmental because being open-minded allows people to know others, having compassion for a person can help people change their views in life, being a racist can only create hate, having the power of the human will/goodness to benefit humanity will cause a person to succeed at any cost and becoming educated helps bring out the intelligence of people.
This film really focuses on the characters. Their thoughts, anger, distress, and mistakes become part of your mistakes. This deals with a father’s s priority and how he will achieve that priority by using unethical ways like torturing an innocent man. Bringing up child abduction and torture are
Not only does this movie deal with the issues of society, but it points to biblical scriptures that help lead us in the right direction. The biggest lesson that this film taught me was that if I put my complete faith in God, then no matter what happens, he will provide, watch over, and take care of me. I learned that expressing belief in God is not enough. I have to live everyday believing and trusting him and I have to show my trust and faith through my actions and my words.
