So just to recap this blog so far, in this movie we have:

Nemo-Physically Disabled

Marlin- Depression and Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD)

Dory- Short Term Memory Loss (aka ADD)
Bubbles- Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD)

 Peach- Bipolar
Jacques- OCD (clean freak)
Bloat- Anger Management
Gurgle- Phobia of the Human Mouth, Ocean, Germs and has OCD
Deb- Schizophrenic Personality Disorder
Gill- PTSD

So if anyone is looking for a mentally dysfunctional group, I think I found them dysfunctional gold.

3am = Finding Nemo

So the other night my youth group chapter had their elections for next school year. (I won president by the way.) Each year two people on board plan the event together and no one else is allowed to know what we are going to do except for our advisers. Therefore it is tradition that we all bug the people by asking them a billion times where we are going. Anyways, we went to this really cool place called The Web we went and got food after our original plans didn't work out. Go figure, when you spend like a month planning an event SOMETHING must go wrong. Well after we had our late meal at around 12, we went back to the shul (Oh I guess I should mention that I'm Jewish since that's a big part of my life.) and I had to fix the TV. For some odd reason the RCA cables weren't all plugged in. Although I can't understand for the life of me how since that TV hasn't been moved in years. But one of our staff members had gone home to grab a few movies for us to watch.
So who wants to guess what movie she brought for us to watch? I'm sure no one can guess it.

FINDING NEMO!

I was SO happy about that. See I haven't been able to see it in so long. I can't even remember the last time I got to see Finding Nemo. (Super awkward considering this blog.....) We had decided upon this at the restaurant when we found out the two other staff members had never seen it. (That count of people who have never seen Finding Nemo was up to three.) [But they watched parts of it, so now it is back to one.]

So basically during the entire movie, at about 3 am, I was sitting on the floor, wrapped in a blanket, singing and talking along with about 75% of the movie. I was also So into the movie and what was happening that I was extremely entertaining to the staff person that brought the movie. When you are dead tired, at 3 am, watching your favorite movie, EVERYTHING is hilarious. It is a fact of life.

 



Nemo. The Most Adorable Fish In The Sea

Ok. The MOST adorable scene in the entire movie. If you do not enjoy it you have no heart.

Mr. Ray, the stingray that is the teacher has Nemo answer him one single question, "You live in what kind of home?" Nemo attempts to answer him anemone, but this being an adorable Disney and Pixar movie, he can't.

First day of school, I mean who wouldn't be excited for their first day of school? I know when I had my first day of Kindergarten and I got on that yellow bus for the first time I was super excited. It's really a tradition.

 And of course we can't forget all the new friends we meet. Annoying as they are and all.

After all, everyone has their quirks and weird traits.



Unfortunately for Nemo, his first day of school doesn't go exactly like it should.....

Getting kidnapped is not the greatest way to start your first year of school. The poor kid, I mean he ends up stuck in that tank with all those weird fish......

Lucky enough for him he devises a great escape plan. I mean, it really is brilliant if you think about it. Since making the fish tank gross wasn't going to work Nemo had very few options. I applaud him for his very well thought out plan for it's success and simplicity.

 And Last but certainly not least, there is that fantastic moment at the end of the movie when Nemo saves Dory's life along with a bunch of other fish.

You don't have to just keep swimming, you have to swim down.

Dory. Part 2

During the movie, Dory does some really unexpected things. What I mean is that she goes from predictable to unpredictable. After asking the stupid crabs if they had seen Marlin, she threatens one of them. They, predictably, do not believe her. Therefore, Dory grabs him and takes him to the surface where danger awaits him.

 "Have you seen my dad?"

 

 "Ok! Ok! I'll tell you!"

 

Let us please take a moment to appreciate this crab. Just look at all of his amazing karate skills. He is hilarious.

Now Dory's most famous line is extremely catchy. The amount of times I have used it to sing about something is more than I can even remember. It works for all kinds of things. It works for swimming, packing, talking, and my favorite, annoying people.

The goggles, are gone. Oh no. Now what will Marlin do? He can't see in the dark to go down and find them, or can he?

 

 

Well I guess we know the answer. If you ever have to go into the dark part of the ocean, be prepared to meet an angler fish that wants to eat you.

 

Can we please take a moment to appreciate how caring Dory is? Seriously, she is the sweetest. I mean she willingly goes with Marlin to find Nemo, who she has never met before. Which probably explains all the different names she keeps calling him though out the movie....

Let me list them for you:

Fabio

Chico

Bingo

Harpo

Elmo

Fido

 

 

Dory. Enough Said. Part 1

Every one's favorite female character, Dory.

 

I don't know what to say. I want to just let all of these pictures and GIFs to speak for themselves, but this is an English project. Anyways Dory is classic comedy relief. She has about 5 seconds of memory, except for the times she doesn't....? I know, it doesn't make a lot of sense to me either. Especially when she can remember the most famous address in the world.

 P. Sherman

Now there was this really awkward moment the other week in school when someone tried to say the address and they got it wrong. I looked at them with disbelief before I corrected them. I mean, HOW does someone forget that address? It doesn't make any sense. Almost every kid knows this address unless they have never seen the movie. But do those people really exist.....?



One of the funniest things about Dory is the mood changes. She can go from being a child to being a tough guy in a matter of seconds.

Dory is so naive. She is the friend we all have who is so innocent and unaware that she does things that most of us would never do. Like going with a shark to a meeting with other sharks. Seriously Dory, you are going to get yourself killed one day like that. I mean you almost did when the goggles hit you and you started bleeding. Shipwrecks are not always going to be there to hide and escape from a hungry shark. Plus there won't always be an escape door to use.

Now who in their right mind would forget this?

 

Or when she thinks she can speak whale...

 

Dory is basically the most entertaining character in the entire movie, even if this movie wasn't about her. Must be why they are making Finding Dory........

The Parents.

Marlin and Coral

Marlin's idea of naming his kids is to name half after him and half after Coral. What a stereotypical guy. When there is like 400 or whatever the crazy big number of eggs that they have, naming them all the exact same thing is the worst idea ever. How do you tell them apart if they all have the same name? The answer, you can't.

Now Coral is only around for the first like five minutes of the movie, then she dies. Her death is a rather sad one considering the circumstances. After all, Marlin and her had just moved into their home. Plus they have a ton of kids that have just been born and haven't grown yet who are in need of protection. It is rather unfortunate that the serial killer fish has to show up and kill Coral and all the other kids. 

And of course, since it is Disney and Pixar, there has to be at least one survivor. I mean what kind of kids movie would it be without one. (Hint: there would be no movie) Anyways Marlin becomes extremely over protective as a result of it. But its just SO adorable, well...kinda.



Marlin is such a protective parent. I mean look at this, ^ he actually wants to make Nemo go in and out of the anemone three times. Marlin, get a freaking life that isn't Nemo. It will help you a lot. Seriously dude. You have to let him grow up. I get that he is super special since he survived and that is why you named him Nemo, but come on. Now going on a journey to find your kidnapped kid is great because it shows him how much you care. So while I hate how annoyingly over protective you are, you did travel thousands of miles to find your son and rescue him. Therefore, I don't ate your guts.

One of the pictures that commonly shows up on Facebook and other social media sites is this one. I always laugh because it really shows just how messed up underlying themes in Disney movies can be. It's great.

The Fish Tank... (Still Continued)

Meet Deb, or um, Flo. I mean....wait.....um.....DEB! The group's schizophrenic. She is most well known for the scene you see in the picture. After Deb introduces herself to the scared little Nemo, she goes to the glass and introduces her reflection as her sister Flo. Now why none of the other fish, who know it is a reflection, don't tell her that Flo is not real, confuses me. I mean later on in the movie she is actually yelling at Flo for being in her way while she tries looking outside of the tank. Just like some mentally ill people, she seems very normal most of the time. Then you put her in front of a reflective surface and BOOM! She's delusional again. I have a hard time deciding who is crazier, Deb or Bubbles. I mean he is obsessed with bubbles, and she thinks her reflection is another fish. They both belong in the loony bin, no question about it.

 

Finally there is my favorite character from the fish tank, Gill. Gill is the only other fish from the sea besides Nemo. If the scar and tattered fin don't give it away, then I'm not sure how else you could tell he is a tough guy. If Gill was a person, he would be that one sketchy guy chilling alone in the corner. He would be that one person that others make up stories about and that they avoid. He would be like one of my friends that graduated last year, who with just one look could silence a room of high schoolers. Granted he wasn't around a lot, and when he was he kept pretty quiet, but it was still really funny. It was like something out of a movie where the person walks in and everyone gets quiet and stares at them out of fear and curiosity. That is who Gill is. Gill is also the ring leader of the tank. He decides what they should do when there is any form of trouble. He is also extremely determined to return to the ocean, even when it almost kills Nemo in the process. Gill has a lot to learn about dealing with other fish.

The Fish Tank... (Continued)

 

Now theres Bloat, he has one famous characteristic in the movie. He bloats. Henceforth his name, is Bloat. I know I know, kinda obvious, but hey, this is a kid's movie remember? So besides the fact that hes a great friend and a bit odd, Bloat is just kinda there. And just as predictably, Nemo tries to swim past but with Bloat being so much larger, even when he isn't bloated, it isn't hard to block Nemo's path. So Nemo ends up stuck in the middle of a huddle of random freaky fish. At this point I always wish I could grab Nemo and just give the poor fish a hug. Now I have no idea how realistic any of this is because my beta Bobby is a total loner. I can't put anything else in his tank unless I want to watch for him to attack them. So Bobby never gets any new friends, he lives in isolation. Bloat and everyone else in this crazy dentist office tank are basic opposites of Bobby. So whilst stuck in the tank, Nemo has to learn to get along with everyone.

Gurgle. Yes, that is his actual character name. He is also the one with a million phobias. Let us go back to the moment he meets Nemo. As a scared little fish in a new environment, Nemo is swimming around frantically trying to escape. (Even Bobby has never tried to do that.) Anyways Nemo is learning his way around the tank decorations when he eventually runs into Gurgle and everyone else. Just like in any 'new school' situation, everyone wants to know where the new kid is from. Ignorant of where Nemo comes from, Gurgle warmly puts a fin around Nemo and asks where he is from. This is where the phobias come into play. Cue  the freak out:
Ok, so I WAS going to put a super short video of him freaking out, but my technical skills are not that amazingly great.....
Anyways, Gurgle is pretty scared of the ocean and the germs it has. Weird right, I mean he's a FISH. Well focusing on his freak out, Gurgle tell Jacques to decontaminate Nemo. Seriously? Is this the CDC where people mess around with incurable illnesses? Come on Gurgle, no one likes a clean freak. You really need to get out more, social lives are important when participating AND functioning in society.

The Fish Tank...

So one of my favorite parts of the entire movie is when Nemo joins the fish tank. In a matter of about two seconds for each new character, you can tell they all have problems.

 

 

 

BUBBLES!

Bubbles is easily one of the more memorable fish in the tank. For instance, Nemo's first encounter with him is over the treasure chest. His famous line is "BUBBLES! Bubbles!.....mybubbles!" Now, for Nemo, this moment is super nerve-wracking. Let me explain why. First off, Nemo has been what we people would call kiddnapped. Then he was taken to some random fish tank, in a plastic bag inside of a cooler. Now I can tell you that from experience, transporting fish, even ones that have always lived in a container or tank, is very stressful on the fish. I mean, cars ain't always smooth on the road. Third, Nemo is dropped into the unknown, surrounded by a ton of plants. I think if I turned around and saw a tiki face for the first time in my life, I'd scream too. Of course then that STUPID dentist just HAS to come over to check on him, scaring Nemo even more. Then Nemo backs into the bubble treasure chest and it opens followed by some maniac fish yelling "My bubbles!" Not a great way to start out in a new place.

Peach. Just your classic starfish, and I don't mean stupid and annoying like another starfish we all know of...........
No, Peach is smart, nice, and possibly the most normal seeming fish in the tank. i actually don't have much to say about Peach, other than the most obvious question in the universe. Errr, well, the second question in the universe(I seriously hope someone gets that amazing refrence.) But in all reality, IS PEACH A GIRL OR A GUY? I have wondered this since the day I first saw Finding Nemo. Someone help me because Peach's voice sounds like a really high pitched guy, but I can never be sure. This is a big deal people and the whole stcking to the glass thing deffenitly throws Nemo when he once again backs into none other than Peach.

 

After screaming for his life and swimming into the weird helmet-looking decoration, Nemo sees a bunch of the fish gathering outside the decoration so of course he backs up away from them, only to back into (for the third time now) Jacques. Now personally I think Jacques is kinda a pointless character, I mean all he does in this movie is clean and turn the bubbles up on the bubble-mountain-thingy. So while Nemo is in the helemt thingy hiding for dear life Jacques is just chillin inside of it watching what Nemo will do next, until he bumps into him, making Nemo once again scream and swim away. Although this time, he finds himself surrounded by a bunch of random fish. Talk about a bad day....

You know, I am very happy my life has not been anything like Nemo's. I guess my lucky fin is actually lucky.

Ta-Da! ....Introduction!!!

Ok, so I'm a high school student. I, am a girl! (Mind blowing fact right there people) I have a pet beta fish named Bobby, and my name, is Nemo. I mean, super creative right? I'm probably the only person to ever go by the name Nemo. Of course I mean this sarcastically, but where is the fun in always being serious, it’s just so....boring. Eventually I might bother to explain to you random peoples why it is that I go by Nemo, but that's later, if I feel like it...... Now, on to my reason for this amazingly creative blog: English class. Sounds pretty lame, and I can't say I disagree, but I figure that I might as well have some fun with this. Throughout this blog I will talk about the characters in Finding Nemo, their quirks, catchiest lines, and above all, make as much fun of them as I can.

So the basic back story for this movie is that Nemo has a 'handicapped' fin on one side, and as the only survivor of the fish attack that killed his mom and hundreds of siblings, Marlin, his dad is extremely over protective. Typical teenager, Nemo rebels and ends up in a ton of trouble, but those details are not important yet. Nemo ends up in a fish tank in a creepy dentist office with a group of new fish he has never met before. Those fish are the most messed up fish anyone could ever meet. Prepare for the beautifully crafted rants about each of those psychotic fish, and other random Nemo stuff.
