A father's history

Elissa 2022-04-23 07:01:02

Because "Finding Nemo 2" was released recently, I revisited "Finding Nemo 1" several times before going to the theater. This movie is really fun to watch! The difference between this time and the previous few times is that I watched it with my children, and we all liked it very much, and I also had a lot of different insights from the past. Strongly recommend children and parents to watch it several times!
Mainly from the most profound aspects of it! I personally really like the plot and characters in it. I think it's a very good parent-child education film (of course, it's more than that). The education in it is not blunt, but soft and silent. It is worth watching as a family and feeling the warmth of love and being loved. In particular, parents should look at Maureen's experience as a father, from which they may have a new understanding of how to educate their children and how to truly "grow with their children".
I would like to analyze Maureen's growth from the following aspects:
1. The state before and after the disaster. Unfortunately, at the beginning of the story, Maureen lost his wife and several children. Fortunately, fate favored him and left him an injured child. As a father for the first time, it was impossible to start. I believe that many new parents have a deep understanding of this. In addition, after experiencing the separation of life and death, Maureen became trembling, not knowing how to protect the child Nemo! Nemo told his friends that his father was afraid of the sea, but before the disaster, how could he have been afraid of the sea? Including when he and his wife faced the big barracuda, he calmly told his wife to go home and deal with it himself. The disaster left a huge psychological shadow on him, making it almost impossible for him to live a normal life. The love he gave Nemo was full, but not as comfortable as the air, but rather suffocating. I have to say that in the face of disasters, as parents, you really need to stabilize your mind, so as to give your children a good environment and atmosphere, which is conducive to their growth.
2. Nemo's state before and after being taken away. It has to be said that Nemo was caught and had a direct relationship with him, and he even contributed to this, although this was not what he wanted. However, his tyranny as a parent, and his denial and threat to Nemo's ability (especially in front of other classmates) made Nemo rebel. Nemo even said "I hate you". Forcing or denying other people's actions in the name of love is actually more offensive, isn't it?
3. The state when looking for Nemo. As a father, his courage and persistence to find his son Nemo is really touching! Although there are his impatience and complaints, his perseverance touched almost every "person" in the story. Love is what the heart wants, so he can get so much help (including Dolly, sardines, turtles, whales, pelicans, etc.). In fact, if there is no opportunity to find Nemo, he is almost isolated from the world. His body, mind and concept are closed. He only has Nemo in his eyes, and it is difficult for outside thoughts and people to penetrate. . With this opportunity, he can walk into and see the "society", know the vastness and complexity of the world, learn new things, learn to face and solve problems, and then reflect on his past behavior and form goodwill with the help of Dolly. Fate also rescued Dolly from the jellyfish group, showed her brave side, and was affirmed by the turtles. He has gained a lot from this trip: he has gained knowledge, improved his thinking level, and gained self-confidence. The bigger his world is, the bigger his heart is, the barriers to the outside world are slowly disappearing, and the communication with the outside world is becoming more and more pleasant and harmonious. So, as a parent, it’s really important to be informed, open-minded, and keep up with the times.
4. Find Nemo's later state. Life wasn't all smooth sailing after finding Nemo. Dolly and many groupers are caught in fishing nets, and Nemo says there is a way to save them. If it was before, Maureen would definitely have rejected it, but after experiencing the storms of life, he affirmed Nemo's idea and worked hard to help Nemo implement his method until it succeeded. This scene is very touching! This is a transitional part of Maureen's upbringing as a father. He was very different before this event than he was after. He passed the threshold of a novice father and became mature. He gets along with others differently. He can tell jokes to other parents, let go of the child, and let the child take the initiative to say "I love you". How happy! It's not just success as a father, it's success in life as well, isn't it? In fact, as a family, if we can have less confrontation, more effort and unity; less over-dependence and attention, and more space to get along, we can be more comfortable, how wonderful!
By the way, the picture of this film is quite beautiful, quite charming. The rhythm of the story and the soundtrack are also very good. I think children should be nurtured by beautiful things from an early age, so be sure to watch it!
The first time I wrote a movie review, I wrote some random things about my concerns. Haha, I also used this to spur myself. This is also a step in growing up as a parent, isn't it?

    The painting style is very beautiful, and the group of fishes that change formations are so cute. The story is of course also very good. The biggest charm of this film is that after watching it, all the kids call the clown fish Nemo.
