Finding Dory Movie

I recently saw Finding Dory on the plane ride back to Germany (recently? It was a whole month back…scary how time flies) and loved it! Seriously, I have already pre-ordered the DVD, Blu Ray and Digital copy so I can watch it whenever I like. I recommend you watch it, seriously, it made me cry multiple times.

Reasons why I loved it:

1. It spoke to me about my adoption. Dory has always not remembered her parents and has struggled to find a family, so her journey to find them is touching to say the least. Marlin and Nemo help her, yet they too become lost and Dory must believe in herself in order to find her family (Marlin and Nemo). Dory feels badly because she cannot remember, and does not see her own potential. I don’t want to give away the story or the twists, but it is a tearjerker for me.
2. It has a baby Dory fish and otters.

Actually I do want to talk about the end. I’ll put a “Read More” button below, so if you want to see the movie and not find out, don’t read further!!!!

When Dory’s parents, everyday, go out and find shells to build a way for her to find them, I cried. That is just so beautiful, not only because of their dedication, but their fierce belief that Dory will find her way back to them and follow the shells. It was this moment that truly captured my heart. Before I was in love with the movie, but this moment really touched me.

I don’t entertain the dream of that with my birth parents, but can you even imagine? The validation, the love, and the knowledge that you were never forgotten. If I had to imagine a reunited meeting, that would be the dream, wouldn’t it?

Anyway, I don’t want to go too much into my feelings on it, but I just wanted to say that I loved that movie for those reasons. Maybe if you try to watch it, just think of it  that way.
