Saving Nemo Themes
The ‘Saving Nemo- Vanuatu’ is a documentary based on the export of crown fish, which became famous since the movie ‘Finding Nemo’ released, is fished from the waters of Vanuatu by a foreign company and exported to other countries such as Australia and United States of America. The names of the cultures represented in the documentary are traditional culture that is shown by the people of Vanuatu, on the island of Nuna, “the magic man declares taboo invoking the spirits to protect sea and whoever defies will face sickness or death”. Another culture that is represented in this documentary monetary culture that is exhibited by the SRS, and the politicians of Vanuatu who have sold their marine ecosystem to SRS for little money, the politicians are given bribe by the SRS to operate in Vanuatu. The third culture that I think is represented in the documentary is the coral reef culture. It shown by the marine biologist who talks about sustaining the coral reef and teaching the children who are not familiar with coral reefs about how to preserve it and familiarizes them with it.
The point of view that is reflected through the sound track is that of

The film fits into this theme because it is about our land and sea, about its sustainability. In the film the narrator interviews people with different views on how and what they feel about their resources being exploited by a foreign person who is thinking of his benefits and depleting their fish supply and coral reefs which are mostly depended on the colorful fish that are not eaten, which is its primary builder. The marine biologist is concerned as to how they can save these natural resources, he is also concerned that how the young children can know about their environment and thus he opts to show them the film, “Finding Nemo”, which I feel could be relate to their situation at present and could make them familiarize them with their

    The documentary successfully exploits visual and emotional rhetoric in order to cause its audience to question the treatment of whales and the habit of caring for these orcas in captivity. By observing the dilemma of captivity amongst orca whales, it produces emotions that range from empathy to resentment. This film powerfully influences its viewers to want to take action and possibly join efforts to help killer whales in captivity…

    This documentary is mostly filmed with the participation of the people that have had more experience with killer whales. One of the first interviewees/speakers of this documentary was John Crowe, one of the many men hired to capture these killer whales. He tells the story of what he had to do to take the whales. During the interview, he claimed that he had seen many things that were difficult to believe, however he truly believed that stealing the young orcas away from their mothers was the worst thing he has ever done. While Mr. Crowe was telling his story, his eyes began to water and there was a change in his voice, as if he wanted to break down in tears. Witnessing a big, breaded, intimidating man crying on camera over the guilt he has for capturing these baby orcas sanctions you to feel the same hurt and guilt. The producers made the right choice by choosing to interview John Crowe to grab the attention of the audience by making us feel sorry for the whales. Sadly, the tears that Mr. Crowe shed was not the only thing that appealed to my emotions. This documentary showed, in many scenes, the process of the orca captures and in the videos, you could hear the baby orca and its mother crying back and forth to each other. These crucial actions even caused me to feel angry with the men that were capturing the…

    Film Director and Producer, Gabriela Cowperthwaite, in her film, Blackfish, exploits SeaWorld and the many incidents involving the killer whales and trainers. Cowperthwaite’s purpose is to inform the audience how the whales are treated horribly and persuade the audience to boycott SeaWorld. She adopts a dramatic, gloomy tone in order to convey her audience the idea that SeaWorld is an inhumane place to keep killer whales.…

    . Throughout the whole documentary, there is an underlying assumption that every empathetic and sane person should agree that animals should not be held captive. This helps build the argument because as an audience member, it is difficult to be the only one not agreeing with something. There is also an underlying assumption that the audience does not know much about marine life and the dangers of captivity. Based upon this assumption, the documentary educates the public, without being condescending.…

    According to Noriko T. Reider, this film “became the highest-grossing film of all time in Japan and it won many awards, including a 2003 Academy Award for Best Animated Feature Film” and made Miyazaki famous around the world (2005, P.4). In this film, his point about the environmentalism has changed that is not strong like the early works. He becomes more neutral with the relationship between people and environment. However, he still wants to warn people to focus on this problem but in a more polite way.…

    Then the ocean symbolizes an impediment to Ralph, Piggy, Jack, and the other boys, keeping them from the world that they all were from. The waves scratch out the shadows of society that gradually escape from the boys. The boys use the ocean to cleanse in , rebaptizing each one of their selves as their aboriginal selves peeling their conditioned behavior of their natural state of savageness. The ocean also symbolizes the stripping of trimmings from society that backfires on the island. And, it is this removal of society's structures and controls that releases the power of these atavistic elements.…

    As most of the audience, I did not know what was going on at SeaWorld including all the deaths of trainers. SeaWorld hides these deaths and blames many of the dead trainers even though they are not here to defend themselves. When it was stated that SeaWorld declined an interview for Blackfish, it seemed a little fishy. If they did nothing wrong why wouldn’t they give an interview? I believe the people that are protesting outside of SeaWorld are doing something great and defending the orcas as they would humans. We don’t want to be captured from out natural habitats, so why would we do that to animals that have feelings too? I will never go to SeaWorld unless it is to protest and will not take my kids. I am glad my family has never taken me and I am glad to be shown this documentary on how bad SeaWorld really…

    Rob Stewart Sharkwater

    Going back to Costa Rica was dangerous to Stewart, Watson and Sea Shepherd, but with meticulous planning they achieved it. To not get caught, they took public transportation. When they returned to the city, they found out that the citizens were rallying to stop killing sharks. Due to this, it made it easier for Stewart and the others to film and gather more information. In the end, they did process the film and the movement of stopping shark finning have just started. Right now, shark finning have been banned to 16 countries. Shark-fin soup is even banned in Toronto. After watching this documentary, I now have changed my opinion about sharks and I hope the same for everyone else around the world. In addition, without sharks, we could lose more oxygen that is produced by all the trees and jungles in the world combined because without the top predator, the balance in marine life would be gone. Hence, we need them more as they need us. We should stop killing them and save them to save…

    Culture region is a geographical area that encompasses a definite, specific culture or ethnic group. Norfolk Island lies in the Australian and Oceanic cultural region. Australia and Oceania have populations with diverse ancestries-indigenous, European, and Asian. Both physical geography and the migration patterns of people have shaped the region’s cultures. Tahitian (Polynesian) migrated to Norfolk Island, during the 14th and 15th century (In Wikipedia, The Free Encyclopedia, 2016).

    Every culture has its own unique flare or characteristics. A country or regions culture is a good indicator in determining what the people who live in this area might be like. This was evident through numerous presentations that were presented in class this week. For example, when we talked about carnivals, we got a good understanding on how the Caribbean is different from other parts of the world. Carnivals are conducted in several places throughout the world, and one is different from the other. Based on the differences the carnivals in the Caribbean exhibit we can make assumptions on Caribbean identity.…

    Conceptually there are a variety of ideas I would like to explore in relation to sea animals in order to express the beauty beneath nature. When I encounter the natural environment I aim to glance past the negativity such as pollution, poverty, over population and natural disasters but focus on the hidden beauties of our planet which are usually forgotten yet destroyed. The society we live in is fixated on artificial things, everywhere we look, we see man made machines and gadgets. In a world that has been consumed by electronics and artificial things we can often forget to take the time to appreciate the natural environment which surrounds us. As a society we depend on our eyes, we don’t use our mind’s eye to view things. In reality we are limited to what we can see and what is displayed in the media. Why live in this world where we are limited, when we can create our own world full of possibilities. Every time an oil spill into the ocean, every time we cut down trees, let us not forget we are destroying the most cherished inheritance we can leave behind for our future generation. In creating my artwork I hope to uncover the beauties of nature from a different perspective in order to send out awareness to save the marine life animals.…

    Culture encompasses a wide range of behaviors, languages, foods, beliefs and traditions. It can be defined as the totality of socially transmitted behavior patterns, arts, beliefs, institutions, and all other products of human work and thought. The video capturing the Toulambis tribe of New Guinea’s first encounter with Westerners clearly portrays the fear, confusion, and amazement of the Toulambis as they not only encounter new person but a small part of a new culture.…

    How often do we think about that we have in daily life? How often do we notice the beauty of the surrounding in daily life? How often do we remember the things that are valuable for us? And what if we had a few days to live, what would you do? Is it possible to make our dreams come true? The film "Knockin` on the heaven`s door" is about how two men with untreatable disease realize their dreams. The film was recommended me for many times, finally, I had an opportunity to watch it. When I saw some shots from it, I hadn't a big desire to watch it, it seemed cheap, with no special effects, with no famous stars. So, it was actually without pledge of success. I guess, not only I am having the same logic, that's why the greatest films usually live in the shadows. However, the phenomenon of this film remains unsolved for me. For everyday, farcical and sometimes comical events truth about the value of each person is hidden. His dreams and aspirations, abilities and opportunities, thoughts and actions. It is true that every day is unique, and we're just wasting these days for nothing, it sounds like a death sentence from a doctor in a hospital room. Therefore you'd jump off the bed, and run away as characters of the film did when they knew about their untreatable disease.…
