Movie Review: Finding Nemo

This is a film commentary on the movie Finding Nemo by Andrew Stanton. It is about a clown fish named Marlin (Albert Brooks). He’s very overprotective about his son Nemo (Alexander Gould) and carefully watches his every move. Marlin’s wife was killed when a barracuda came to their reef and murdered her and all their eggs of baby clownfish. But there was only one egg that was found hurt. That last egg was Nemo.

As soon as he finds out he rushes to find his son once again scolding him for trying to swim out to the open water. Then it seems as if Nemo has had enough of his dad.
