Characters - The Factor That Makes Great Movie

We can not fail to mention the character factors when it comes to the success of the movie Up. This really is an extremely important factor that any director before creating a movie has to think about.

Although the couple, Carl and Ellie, appeared only about first ten minutes of the film, they have brought the audiences full of emotions, they have won the heart of million of people. Carl and Ellie, they lived a happy life, they became great soul to each other. They did not need any children to become a warm and cozy family even though they really wanted one. What do we need more than a spouse that may share the same dreams in life like that? What do we need more than a person who always stood by their side in any ups and downs, in the way to realize the dream? Their dream has come true or not is not important, the important thing is that they never lose the dream and desire to implement it.

There is one thing that Carl did not know until the end of the film, that for Ellie, the years that they were living together is even better than any adventure. She has narrated their lives as a couple living together through the two photos pasted behind pages that Carl has always stopped in the diary. Up again make viewers welling with emotion. Carl and Ellie's love story is as beautiful as a dream that any audience always longed to be.

Accompanying on this journey with Carl is Russell, a scout boy that needs to assist an elderly to complete his mission. Russell is like a younger version of Carl, also aspires to be a "wild advanced explorers" and also a "little hero" not aware of the dangers beyond a pure heart filled with love. Russell is an overweight, 8-year old Wilderness Explorer. He showed up at Carl's doorstep, hoping to help him in crossing something to assist him. Unfortunately, Carl tries to get rid of Russell by saying that there was a "snipe" bothering him and tells Russell to look two blocks down to capture it. When Carl sends his home (and him), in the air with 10,000 colorful helium balloons, Carl finds Russell holding on for dear life waiting for Carl (whom he kindly calls "Mr. Fredricksen") to let him in. He tells him no, and Russell is forced to wait 5 seconds before Carl finally decides to let him in. At the end of the film, Russell gets his "Assisting the Elderly" Wilderness merit badge, presented by Carl. Then, he and Carl go and have some ice cream, just like he and his dad used to do.

On the way of their advanture, they make friend with a bird named Kevin and a speaking dog named Dug. Dug is an obese golden retriever who belongs to Charles Muntz. He is a fun-loving dog who speaks English via a special collar that translates his thoughts into speech, invented by his former master, Charles Muntz.  However, immediately after meeting Carl, Dug begins to idolize him and sees him as his master. He winds up switching sides, assisting Carl, Russell and Kevin. He is every ounce a puppy in behavior and quickly becomes attached to Carl, who is at first hesitant to accept Dug. When he does, Dug expresses his joy in a manner that leaves no doubt that he prefers his new master.
