However, floodplain lakes and pools, swamps and marshes in lowland areas, and mountain lakes all harbor species. In addition to lotic species, those that frequent standing waters also occur, but this lentic fauna is not as diverse as that of northern, Holarctic lakes and ponds. A very few species can be found in waters of thermal origin or with water chemistry that has been affected by volcanic activity. Intermittent streams also support a trichopterous fauna, with a few species especially adapted to seasonal drying. It is in intermediate sized, forested, mountain streams where the fauna seems to reach its greatest diversity. In the Neotropics, larvae can be found in small trickles and seeps in the high Andean páramo, down to the very large, slowly flowing, lowland rivers, and all kinds of rivers and streams between these extremes. These immature stages are ubiquitous in the world’s freshwaters, but are especially diverse in rivers and streams. In the end, the point of this movie is not whether he reaches his goal or not, but the process of going there, and thats what makes this movie worthwhile.Trichoptera are an order of holometabolous insects that have aquatic egg, larval, and pupal stages. When he meets his mentor, he goes through an entire mental cleansing that is portrayed with humor and poignancy. Yet, in a strange way, he's not entirely satisfied with his life, and you can see that the way he is living isn't good for his well-being. Dan Milliman, the main character, is living the good life: he's one of the best athletes on the team, popular with the girls, still gets excellent grades. This movie hits home because it almost portrays the classic American Dream and the many people who chase it. One of the best parts of this movie is the student-teacher relationship between Dan and Socrates, his mentor.
The movie itself was sad, but at the same time, inspiring.
Of course, I'm a Bruin, so maybe I could tell the differences more. The only part I didn't like about it was the odd editing they did to make UCLA look like Cal. I saw this movie at a screening,(ironically at UCLA) and I really liked it.
