Movie Report : “Up” Movie

In 2009 producers and writers Pete Docter, Bob Peterson and others created a Disney Pixar movie named “Up”. With the main characters voice actors being “Edward Asner” as Carl Fredricksen, and “Jordan Nagai” as Russell the movie starts off with young Carl idolizing an adventurer named Charles Muntz voiced by “Christopher Plummer”. Wanting to become an adventurer himself Carl stumbles upon a home where he soon meets a young spirited adventure much like himself named Ellie. Ellies shows Carl her Adventurer Journal and within minutes Ellie and Carl make a club and swore to one day get to paradise falls. Over the years both Carl and Ellie get married having the average marriage in a church except Carl's family was more of a down, quite type and Ellie’s family was more filled with pep one of her family members even shot off a weapon towards the end of the marriage. Carl and Ellie bought the home that they first met in and made a jar which was where they tried to save money to get to paradise falls but the money wasn't kept for long from one accident to another they kept dipping into the jar to pay for accident expenses. Years go by from living a happy and fulfilling life Ellie collapses and is brought to the hospital and in her final days Carl tied a stick to a balloon and let it float to her just like when they first met and Carl fell trying to get his balloon back.

One thing I noticed in this movie is that if Carl never met Russell he himself would've become his own bitter version of his childhood hero charlies, not in the bird obsession but with the bitterness of loss because both Charles and Carl both experienced a different kind of loss but only Carl was able to move on by letting go of his home and embracing his new life with help while Charles was kept in a continuous loop of loss and humiliation. On their return home Carl a new man attends Russell's senior wilderness explorers ceremony and gives him the greatest badge he could which was his first badge given to him by his departed wife Ellies.
