Finding Nemo Themes

Decent Essays
Many people watch movies and only see the aesthetic. These are the parts that only come clear to the viewer without any deep thought, and are included only for the artistic benefit. Finding Nemo is a movie that most people will view as a cute, colorful movie that just tells one main story with one theme. But underneath all the special effects, colors and animations that distract you, there are many different themes to follow. Finding Nemo uses salient features such as specific moments of trauma and suspense to draw its audience in. The characters in this movie show how disabilities and trauma can be conquered to achieve a better quality of life; this is most apparent in how Nemo doesn't allow his physical handicap to affect him in anything
