Film Critique: Finding Nemo (2003)

Finding Nemo (2003) 2.

The bond between a father and a son is full of unconditional love. Finding Nemo is an awesome story of a father’s endless search for his young son. Marlin suffered the loss of his wife and all their children from a barracuda with the exception of one, Nemo. When Nemo finally gets old enough to go to school, Marlin his father is afraid for two reasons. The first being Nemo only has one good fin due to the other one being stunted in growth. The final reason is Marlin is still holding on to what happened to his family earlier. This movie exceeds every expectation, from the mise en scene to the story and plot. After you read my critique of this movie, you will rush out and view it for yourself.

Let us start with the heart gripping opening scene. We are introduced to two bright colored clownfish, who have just moved into a new part of the anemone called the drop off. Then the camera does a back shot of their beautiful once again bright orange colored kids. The back shot is amazing. You not only see the children you see the little cave they have kept them in for safe keeping. Then there is the dreadful music and you know something is about to horribly take place. Before you know it, everyone is gone and the two clownfish notice a barracuda staring at them. All of a sudden, Marlin loses everything and everyone in a brief moment. Oh but there in a lonely crevice, the camera does a long shot view of a bright orange egg. Yes it is Nemo. Well as a result of this devastating act, Marlin becomes very overprotective and has a tough time letting Nemo live his own life. In this entire film, the colors and lights are used brilliantly and the special effects will keep you entangled in this father son journey.
