I think that the classic Disney 3D animated movie Finding Nemo is a great example of a character driven movie. I think that one character I want to focus on particularly happens to be Dory. Dory is a very bright and outgoing fish who has short term memory loss. She meets Merlin, who lost his son and is desperate to find him wherever he is, and joins along in search for Nemo. Throughout the movie we see that Dory has many struggles with her short term memory loss and even bumps heads with Merlin. Merlin is more of the serious and on task kind of character and is not there for the fun and thrills. Dory on the other hand loves adventure and loves meeting new aquatic animals on the way there. In one particular scene, Dory makes herself very useful because not many fishes can read but her and when they find out where they Nemo may be held captive, she reads off the address. She redeems herself and is still asked to be a part of the search for Merlin’s son. I think she is a perfect example of me because no matter how serious and negative an event may be, I try finding a way to make myself more positive and try finding the bright sides. Being positive is a very important characteristic to have and I think Dory is the perfect example of it. Other than just having our names rhyme, I think we both are similar, besides the fact that I don’t have that much of short term memory loss as her. The voice of Dory is Ellen DeGeneres and she is a very inspirational person to me. She focuses on equality and other very important issues in society and that may be another key reason as to why I like Dory so much.
