Themes of 'Up'

Altruism is when someone is selflessly concerned for the well-being of others.

In the first photo, Mr Fredrickson lets go of his dream to have his house on top of the waterfall, to save Kevin and Russell. This shows that he values the others more than his past.

Another time altruism was shown was when Russell decides to save Kevin. This shows that he cares for the bird more than his life, because he goes into the aircraft knowing that Charles is capable of hurting/killing him.

When Carl got his house to fly and didn't realise that Russell was hanging on to it, Carl forgot about saving his house and helped Russell get inside.

we chose this pic because its significant to the topic of adventure. It shows how Fredricksen ignores the problems that are creating an obstacle from his goals and dreams. He gives Russel and dug a chance to be on his team and achieves them together.

The significance of these screenshots is quite large, as Carl and Ellie made a big promise to each other, and Carl feels bad because he couldn't fulfil it before Ellie died. This theme is not hard to find, as there are a lot of promises made throughout the movie
