Dor Dory In Finding Nemo

591 Words3 Pages

Finding Nemo was an animated comedy by Pixar animation and Walt Disney Pictures. The film is a comedy where one of the main characters is a fish named Dory. Dory is integral to the plot because she knows the location to where the main character's son Nemo has been taken too. This should be a fairly simple task but Dory constantly forgets what they’re supposed to be doing and gets distracted causing their journey to become strenuous. For example when Dory first meets Marlin he asks her if she’s seen the boat that took his son Nemo. She explains to him that she has and then introduces herself. Dory then tells Marlin to follow her so she can show him where the boat went but shortly after telling her to follow she tries to get him from tailing her by trying to out maneuver him and then telling him to stop following her. Dory totally forgot who Marlin was and what she was supposed to do or even the reducing joke of Dory constantly forgetting Nemo’s name and referring to him as something else. …show more content…

This is why Dory cannot remember simple things likes Nemo’s name and why her memorization of the address of where the boat went is so important of the story. Dory’s constant memory loss is a hindrance to Marlins quest to find his son. Though the movie handles this in a tongue in cheek comedic way this can be a very real issue in real life. In 1999 there was a study done by Eustache, Francis; Desgranges, Béatrice; Laville, Peggy; Guillery, Bérengère; Lalevée, Catherine; Schaeffer, Stéphane; de la Sayette, Vincent; Iglesias, Serge; Baron, Jean-Claude; Viader,

“The Nautilus suffered a collision that cracked one of the engine levers, and it struck this man.” Although we don’t know for sure what caused the collision, we can infer that it was Nemo running into a ship because he was trying to hide it from the rest of the crew. Despite the fact that Nemo still wanted to get his revenge on people from the land, at the end he started feeling remorse and empathy for those he killed in the sinking of the battleship. The text states, “On the rear paneling, beneath the portraits of his heroes, I saw the portrait of a still-youthful woman with two little children. Captain Nemo stared at them for a few moments, stretched out his arms to them, sank to his knees, and melted into sobs.”

Across cultures and civilizations, the sea has always been an important figure both in the benefits it provides in daily life and its presence in storytelling. In consequence, sea monsters have been important figures in myths and stories whether it be in 1000 BCE Babylonian culture, or in 20th century America. The Babylonian Enuma Elish and Disney’s 1989 The Little Mermaid both feature a powerful female antagonist, Tiamat and Ursula, respectively, and these two figures bear many similarities.

The fact that Dory often forgets where she is going, who the people she is with are, and will even forget mid-conversation what she was talking about is a real reality that people with amnesia deal with everyday. Due to the repetition of the address in Sydney, Australia, where Nemo is, she is able to recall and remember that address time and time again. Similar to how we can hold information in our short-term memory longer if we continuously repeat the information, this task helps people who are amnesic to hold on to memories longer. Dory expresses that when she is around Marlin she feels as if she can remember more.
