That one scene

I’m sure I’m not the only one whose had a problem with at least one scene from a Pixar film, something that nearly ruined seeing it in theaters, something that made us always skip past that scene on the DVD, something that while the rest of the movie was fine that one bit just wasn’t. Mine was this one bit from Finding Nemo, this scene is why the film is only ranked #3 on my list, this is why I cut out about 10mins in skipping past each time I watch it, why when I saw it in theaters I spent all of that scene with my ears covered and hiding in a corner of the theater like I had almost been stepped on. This scene is why when I’m watching the film with a friend when that part is coming I “suddenly need to check something”. If you want to know what that bit is, let’s just say it could never ever happen in a million years, but if you’re sensative to this sort of thing it can be traumatic, very traumatic

Hmm. Well, I’ll admit that there is that occassional phrase in a Pixar film that I find is not very appealing and/or necessary. I can’t really pick out any particular scenes, with the exception of this one:

[spoil]“No brother of mine eats rejectamenta in my town.” - Remy from Ratatouille[/spoil]

I don’t know why, but that particular sentence just didn’t…feel right. Eheh. It seems like something that Patton Oswalt would say, not Remy. I dunno. Maybe it’s just me…? :stuck_out_tongue:

As for you, I take it that you are refering to the moment with the jellyfish, right? You’ve got me curious… :wink:

For me, when Syndrome say “No one will be” kinda sounded a little wierd. He is like, everyone can be SUper, then it went to no one will be. As the days went and the more I watched it, the more I came to accept it, but it still bothers me in the back of my mind.

The Star Swordsman - Actually, I think that that line made quite an impact as far as the story-line goes. The meaning behind it is powerful and intimidating, and the way it is thrown out so forcefully by its owner impresses upon your mind a rather…striking feeling…

– Mitch

Would you like to explain the meaning to me, cause I am still confused.

No, here’s a bit of a giveaway. I wouldn’t be surprised if it is part of why I’m more sensative to deep pitched sounds and voices(not hearing them better but having less tolerence for it). That pretty much tells you which one it was right there, now it’s out there to read. I’m squeamish and if it weren’t for having rented the game it would have been a nasty shock (if you guess at it again try not to go into too much detail)

The Star Swordsman - In order to puncture the wound and unveil the meaning behind Syndrome’s fateful words, “…and when everyone’s super…no one will be”, it is necessary to dig deeper into the true meaning behind this intimidating sentence.

Since I assume you would prefer to hear the “short version”, here, in a nutshell, is the meaning behind that phrase:

[i]If everyone was super, no one would need to worry about saving/rescuing anyone or themselves due to the fact that their limitless powers would seemingly prevent an array of serious consequences exercising their action(s) (striking). In a sense, no one would be truely “super” because no one person would be unique anymore as far as supernatural skills go. There wouldn’t be any one, well-known person who could save the day, since anyone and everyone would be able to prevent a natural disaster from occuring or reaching its boundaries. A world-wide population with super powers = no individuality as far as supernatural aspects go.
You also have the inevitable fact that there would bound to be some criminals out there who would use their super powers for their own, villaneous benefit. It is possible that numerous struggles and constant show-downs with foes would cause the human population to die out. In the end, evil desires and an over-tendency to use special powers uwisely would result in a world-wide catastrophe and an extinct sense of “unique-ness”. Heck, people might eventually consider being normal to be a special “power”, and the whole cycle would start all over again… (The opposite could also occur, which would be a “peace on earth” type of terminus, but I highly doubt it…)

Almost everyone wants to follow a trend; a good majority of people will hop onto the bandwagon of popularity, even if it results in the destruction of a company or a mass of individuals.[/i]

So yeah. There ya’ have it! I believe I explained that correctly, but if I didn’t…I’m sure Dash will set me straight. Heheh. :wink:

MiniChuchan - Hmm. Deep-pitched voices and throbbing tones? I believe I might know which scene you are talking about, but I’m not certain. Oh well. I won’t push it. Eheh.

– Mitch

Ah, I think it is making some sense now.

I always skip the opening scene in Finding Nemo with the barracuda. It’s just too sad and scary too watch every single time. :frowning:

Because I love Randall, I can’t watch the scene where he get’s beat with a bat let alone the following scene with a shovel. And, he’s no longer in the film after that, so usually my viewing of the movie ends there. :stuck_out_tongue:

I agree with Jamie. This scene is very hard to watch, because it isn’t something you wouldn’t expect to happen so early to such a lovable character. if I do skip it, sometimes, I feel a little happy.

I must say I’ve never skipped a scene in a Pixar movie…other movies perhaps…but not Pixar. Not much bothers me though. Thanks to Zoloft for that I guess… :wink:

I simply CANNOT watch that scene in Monsters, Inc. in which the trailer trash(that hick has GOT to be related to Brittany Spears)bee-ahhh…I mean, woman, beats Randall with a shovel. It’s especially bad knowing that the ones who deliberately threw him there are regarded as heroes, and the one responsible for the whole mess will, at worst, get a jail sentence with a roof over his head and three square meals a day, and knowing that people in that part of the country EAT virtually anything with legs that isn’t furniture.

Ditto. I once actually forgot exactly what happens after his ‘banishment’. :stuck_out_tongue:

MiniChuchan- I might be being quite dense here, but I’m still not sure what scene you’re referring to in Finding Nemo. I’ve got an idea, but if someone could spell it out for me, that’d be great- I’m really curious now as to what it might be.

FONY: How can you not watch the end of Monsters, Inc.? It’s the best part! :smiley:

I don’t think I’ve ever skipped past any Pixar movie. There was a bit of a boring part in Monsters, Inc. that I thought went on for a bit too long - the banishment part. But over time I have liked it more and more.

rachelcakes: My love for Randall doesn’t permit me to. :stuck_out_tongue:

I can’t watch the near end of Finding Nemo when Nemo faints and they’re talking and stuff … makes my eyes tear up because I’m so freakin’ emotionally unstable. :stuck_out_tongue:

rachel - I’ve never skipped a part in a Pixar film either, simply due to the fact that you get more out of the story if you watch a movie the whole way through.

Heh. That was downright depressing. I mean, Marlin goes through all of this trouble, his son barely escapes from the dentist’s office, he and his son and companion risk their lives to rescue a net of doomed fish, and after all that…Nemo gets squashed and almost killed. Can it get any worse for the poor kid? :stuck_out_tongue: (snigger)

I don’t think I could not watch any part of a Pixar film. :laughing: Every scene is so perfectly placed by the makers that to me it’d feel like I was insulting them by skipping anything. Even if there were a scene that scared the living daylights out of me, I think I would probably still watch it out of respect for the filmmakers.

That said, the mutant toys in Toy Story, especially the “leader” with the baby head, did scare the living daylights out of me when I was a kid, and I think I probably hid my face when he first appeared when I watched it back then. But I can’t say for sure because we never actually owned the movie ourselves until I became obsessed two years ago.

Well, it’s just become habit for me not to watch the end of MI. I hate missing any scenes that Pixar have created, since they’re of all such high quality and so much work has been put into it, but at the same time the fact that they have been able to create a character to provoke such a reaction is sort of a tribute in itself, if that makes any sense. :laughing: But any other part of every other Pixar film is worth watching, since Pixar don’t create unnecessary scenes. Everything they do is so thought out, it would just be a waste.

So, I’m not the only one with a “problem scene”…
Well, if you’re all so curious I’ll breifly mention it… The whale scene.
I know that there’s no way it can happen, once I even researched the evolution of whales so I know that there is no way at all any of this could happen, I’m just glad that my mom and I rented the game so I knew about this part before going to the theater otherwise I wouldn’t have been able to prepair myself to react to that scene.
