Mermaids - The Movie [6/11]

[H2OFAN125XX]

she is sooo weird when she just helps herself into their home :I

[TwilightBJDbooks]

@H2OFAN125XX

It's kind of the point of the scene.

[lbagra]

haha this movie is awesome

[squeapler]

The Charlotte character is so over the top, it's like she needs professional help instead of just being a dramatic teenager.

[redmr2na]

For a minute, at 6:45, I was confused as to what kind of Car lou owns. I thought what the hell, this is America right, so why is he driving a GAZ Chaika, which is a communist Russian car. Then I went on google and found out that Lou's car is a last of the line Packard, 1955 model, that was their last one before going bust. Ironically GAZ in Russia based their Chaika on the 55 Packard, which explains why the cars look so similar.

[elledelirium]

what is that stuff she got out from the fridge and cut up at 7:38?

[ILUBAYEM]

@elledelirium I believe rice krispie treats. Remember she only makes sweet things for dinner. :)

[elledelirium]

@ILUBAYEM lol yea, i think you're right...the coloring just threw me off, and the fact that it looked frozen :P

[ILUBAYEM]

@elledelirium lol.

[Messylin]

7:21 - oh my god, Cher is SO intimidating!!! I would never piss her off.

[kutchieMik]

"Are we fighting?!" "YEAH!" "Why?!" "It relieves the tension." "Yeah..." hahaha :D

[Brandon158]

I love cher in this movie

[prettyproblem16]

Everytime wynona talks as Charlotte I'm thinking "SHUT THE FUCK UP...shut up" she is adorable n quirky but really annoying

[weirdsleepovergirls0]

sal val.

[gregman05]

3:30 she talks like a crazy person almost during the whole movie

[pemchem]

"I love toast"

[arsenal997]

She is a bad laier, remember me

[faithandeg12]

I don't know why her mom (Cher) wouldn't give her a hug when she got back from funning away! I mean, I understand she was hurt and made at her but if she was my child ALL I'd wanna do is give her a hug!

<333

[theKellz110]

2 PEOPLE R STUPIED NOT TO KNOW WHAT THIS MOVIE IS ABOUT GO ON YOUTUBE LOOK IT UP WE R ON YOUTUBE SOO LOOK IT UP

[MollyMassacree]

Omg, She's so awkward when shes in that families house!! I can't stand it! lol.

[BanditHamlin11]

Who Can Dislike This Movie?? I Love It Not Only Because Winona Ryder Is In It, But It's Just An Overall Great Movie! ♥Winona Ryder Forever♥

[supermandisco]

Mermaids are special women set off from regular society, ok?

[kimy98jojo]

Why is it named mermaid>??

[BabeaaKarryei345]

lÒl_ì_fëêl_sø_lÒNëlY_tôÐãy

[mollyher07]

she's weird....

[nocoercion]

This movie was shot in 1990 and it's set in 1963. I can't find the interview with Barbara Walters about discotheques (4:15). Can anyone else? Just curious. This movie isn't bad. I can't believe I've never heard of it.... "a real life father actually living in the same house as his wife and kids" "this is like television" a lot of the dialog is great social commentary.

[TheScorpio4lyfe]

@nocoercion ..oh yeah this is a great film..i seen it when i was 10 and loved it back then. Im now 30 and still love this film..its a classic to me!

[jesusramirez000]

why did charlotte went to live with that family i dont get it why? is that guy her dad?

[MeBenHalpin]

@jesusramirez000 Yeah it was bit bizzare.

[TheScorpio4lyfe]

@jesusramirez000 ..and no that wasn't her dad house..she never knew who her dad were. she car just broke down in front of those people home and she kind of desired that type of family .

[82horselover]

"Are we having a fight?" "Yeah!" "Why!?" "Cause it relieves tension!"

[WindChildsWorld]

That is NOT a balanced breakfast.....

[TiffanyConnor]

I love how Charlotte comes in the bathroom to talk and it looks like she's confessing while Mrs. Flax is the priest lol

[themillenia]

My word, she is the most retarded person I have ever seen in my life. Pregnant, going to somebody's house and making up stories about yourself and pregnant? She needs help.

[Valkickawesum62]

"Okay, I've had a little Scotch. I'm calm." haha I love this movie!

[Lilliansnow]

al val and sal val... :-)

[nightlifeblonde]

plzzzzzzzz does anybody know what's the music at 2.45 ?

[preventcreep]

LMAO their faces are so hilarious!!!

[bentleykoa]

BACK THEN PEOPLE DID'NT EVEN REALLY TALK ABOUT SEX ESPECIALLY IN SCHOOL

[wchild56]

haha i cant talk toyou right now, if i talk to you right now, i'll kill you :]

[tjrouge]

does this movie have anything to do with mermaids?? o-o

[lunalovett]

my favorite part is when they get in a fight. 4:00 "are we having fight?'

"yeah!"

"why?"

" it relieves the tension!" for some reason, thats always stuck with me and made me laugh when i first saw it.

[LissiMarieC]

I love toast. Lolz.

[sparkl1nwat3r]

What is that thing that that man puts in his glass and Cher's glass after she poured in some whisky or something?

[PinapplePrincess15]

@sparkl1nwat3r Ice cubes... hahaha

[sparkl1nwat3r]

@PinapplePrincess15 LOL...that sure some big ice cubes alright...wouldn't have guess that.

[HuckCas1]

@MsD0llface

Charlotte Flax is 15 years old

[baufuckinghaus]

"that woman couldn't find her ass with both hands" LOL incredible

[wweleah]

lmao "that women couldnt find her ass with two hands" haha that was an awesome line :)

[rosenkopf]

I think, Mrs. Flax and Charlotte both are very eccentric characters. To have a mother who has one boyfriend after another is not a very reliable character...especially for a teenage daughter. Otherwise Charlotte is overreacting too. Being religious does not mean to avoid partnership.

[LexieCasteel]

@rosenkopf I think being religious was more to Charlotte then just having religion. I think she yearned for that consistency in a nun's life.

[Kien8486]

*Laugh* Silly Wiona. Telling silly fake stories.

[hildiguru]

This movie happens in 1963 and 1964, just before the revolution years, the years of the hippies, but there you can feel it coming up, the rebellion starting and everything.

I love the mood in this movie

[meshzy13]

'Maybe they will adopt me' jajaja I wouldn't want family like that, Cher as a mom is awesome.

[serghina]

for a girl who supposedly is obsessed with god, she sure knows a whole LITTLE about him.

[o0candikat0o]

She's running away like you taught her to, mom :-D

[Messylin]

Winona's has trouble playing iconic roles in her 30s/40s... I predict she will turn into a phenomenal and eccentric character actress like the legendary Ruth Gordon - she'll be back post 50 with all the best roles!

[mmarc2010]

6:05 BRASIL!!!!!

[ocrazyboobsgrlt]

i was just looking at her on XXXCelebrityVideos(.)net the uncensored full length version is there if anyone wants to see.

[123RachelAnne]

when did they become memaids

[Starlightabove]

Rachel (Cher) is the best part of this movie. Charlotte can be quite annoying sometimes! Thank you for posting ;P'

[frostkiss2]

I like Rachel as a mother, I think she's cool and still the easy mom :)

[feefee198423]

is that a huge rice krispy square she is cutting up

[o0candikat0o]

@feefee198423 Yes...now I am severely craving rice krispie squares....drool...lol

[101chocolate]

[PattyDarling]

[Moneiih]

wat is up wit her

[PhotonDrive]

I have a daughter just like that: cried, but wouldn't talk - wouldn't tell! 20 years later she says they were beating her up at school! Still don't know if she was, inventing, exaggerating, lying about that - or it really was happening?

[angeloflove]

too deep for a youtube video comment.

[AdArmand]

Oh my god, that breakfast looks absolutely delicious. Cher definitely wouldn't keep her figure serving that food.

[ValosVixen666]

Hahaha, the "Sal Val" part gets me every time!

[SarahAinley]

" I love toast."

[megkoji99]

this movie is so good, how come people don't make movies like this anymore?

[navigator012007]

I've had a little scotch!

[TrustedadviceStudios]

she looked so sad when they took her away

[expressfashion2]

the bitch is liberated! partying on the road in the car lol

[wchild56]

[MusiqueLoveLaughter]

yeah but charlotte believes in catholic/ christian faith

[pcenantpear]

winona is in fact jewish. birth name winona laura horowitz! ryder is her stage name which is appropriate

[NaturVita]

This movie, House of the Spirits and Little Woman are my Favorite Winona movies.

[snufkinshat]

Winona was AMAZING in films she did as a teenager

Beetlejuice

Heathers

this

amazing

[kncool1985]

I agree...it's the movies she made as an adult that started to suck

[ethanhawkerules]

i also really liked her in Reality Bites..thats less of a whimsical movie but she made that character so believable.

Also going to watch Girl Interrupted.

[thehorrormaster1011]

@snufkinshat dont 4get

Great Balls Of Fire

Edward Sissorhands

[o0candikat0o]

@snufkinshat She was cute in Lucas too :-)

[Bianca16161616]

@snufkinshat Dont for get she also played in Edward Sissor Hands!

[ferdailcute]

@snufkinshat don't forget Edward Scissorhands :)

[TheScorpio4lyfe]

@snufkinshat ..yes so true but i also liked her in the films "Lucas" and "Welcome home Roxy CarMicheal"..those were great films she did as a teen also!!!

[felsner1]

Swear, I'mma name my next kid Sal Val! ROFL...

[sparkl1nwat3r]

@CTWcauseiMissyou LOL@"poor rice crispies"

[miss09lauren]

[translationwiz]

bye Sal Val. Say hi to your brother Al.

[Afronadian]

[ShaydahMarie]

"are we having a fight?'' ''yes'' why?'' ''it relieves the tension''. lol love it

[JillHill7]

"I may be pregnant with the next Jewish Italian Massiah!" LOL i cannot help but love the character of charlotte! ^_^

[jnctf]

@JillHill7 LOL I know! She's crazy bu that's what I love about her.

[thalialuvmx]

"that woman couldn't find her ass with both hands" hahahahaha

[starrbeatlesqueen]

bob hoskins (lou) is from england, but in this movie he sounds like he's from brooklyn, ny.

[starrbeatlesqueen]

driving at night without a lincense (or a learner's permit)...dangerous.

[Mizumi17]

4:17 holy shit is that barbra walters??? ive never seen her uhh.... not wrinkly...

[savagesloth]

Sal, Val, Al... too funny hahahaha

[BeachballSU]

Since Mrs. Flax claimed the family is Jewish and Jews don't eat pig meat, Charlotte breakfasting with that "perfect" family may be the first time Charlotte has ever eatten pig (unless she's been sneaking pig meat in the past). Yeah, I know, a strange thought but I couldn't help noticing. ^_~

[EnchantingNature]

I didn't know that. what does Kosher mean?

[AngloKitten]

Mrs Flax said they were jewish but didn't say anything asbouyt not eating pig meat. At one point in the movie she was telling Lou how the niught she ran away from home she was standing in the kitchen with a cigarette in one hand and ham sandwich in the other. Also I'm pretty sure Charlotte was making ham and cheese sandwiches to take on her date with Joe.

[jkresta07]

She said she was "Holding a cigarette in one hand and a ham sandwich in the other". The reason she would be holding a HAM sandwich would be to piss off her Jewish parents. As for Charlotte, she believes in Christianity and is making "Big" sandwiches for Joey to "eat with both hands".

[thinkBIG2247]

why is this called mermaids if there are no mermaids what so ever?

[ExAxLxPx12]

its called mermaids because the whole movie is sort of centered around water and the sea. There are so many nuances in this movie about it. I think the girls sort of represent mermaids. They swim and float from town to town, life to life. And then there are the not so subtle reasonings for the title. The youngest daughter loving to swim, the room looking like under water, when they are all in the tub when Mrs. Flax is dressed like a mermaid, etc.

[ExAxLxPx12]

and from an orignal press release about the film the author said she chose the title MERMAIDS "because of the dual child/woman natures of Mrs Flax and Charlotte. Even down-to-earth Kate, with her love of swimming, has a streak of mermaid. Mrs Flax is like a mermaid. She feels unsafe falling in love with the men she dates, preferring instead to skim the surface of life. To risk total immersion could mean losing her identity and freedom and inviting heartache.

[ExAxLxPx12]

As for Charlotte", the author adds, "she resembles a mermaid poised on the shore, waiting to jump in, unsure whether she'll sink or swim."

Offers Richard Benjamin, "The people in this film don't fit in any category exactly. Charlotte is half girl, half woman. Kate is kind of half girl, half 'fish'. They're in the water out of the water -- mermaids, looking for a place to be. What it means", the director concludes, "is you can't put everybody into a category."

hope that clears it up for ya!!!!

[143jcj]

is there mermaids in here?///

[lenle20]

cool

[rachelflax1963]

I can't tell you how many times I've seen this movie and yet, I only just noticed the father going out to look at Charlotte's car and write down her plate numbers.
