Mermaids - The Movie [3/11]

[TheChata1986]

lol i love the part the lil girl has a pumpkin on her head how cute lol

[11boston1]

are we talking cars?

i don't know i have been taken for a ride by both off them, hahahaha lol

[amuslima99]

Winona Ryder was going with Johnny Depp during the making of this movie. It's something that Christina Ricci would years later make a movie with him. One of my favorites, Sleepy Hollow. Has anyone Googled what the title "Mermaids" in this movie means?

[MurdersBaby]

you just gotta love the little pumpkin head in the end <3 :D

[redmr2na]

@Clairexxoo I don't need to speak with him, He's driving an Edsel for christ sake.

[FunniesStudios]

Does this video have any mermaids in it ?

[dreaminnbigg22]

Oh im gonna burn in hell for sure..here he is talking about his poor dead mother and i can stop wishing his hands were unbuttoning my dress! #classic

[1americanidol11]

For everyone who hasn't figured out that this movie doesn't revolve around Mermaids-I believe the title is called this because, well, for one thing, it's a use of symbollism. For example, the mockingbird in To Kill A Mockingbird is a symbol of innocence. The Mermaid in this movie, I think represents basically all 3 girls, even Katie, because she loves to swim. It ties along with the theme of water and ocean. Plus if they gave it an average title, it wouldn't be as smart and wouldn't make u think

[CRaZy4RiGHT]

I LOVE CHERS BODY!!!

[MrCiveniv]

cool, I was looking for this movie!!



[faithandeg12]

I love this movie! Scene 08:53 is SO funny! Little Christina is adorable! :D

[LovelyXpurple4]

[YLFRV333]

lmao the sandwiches haha awe

[TheScorpio4lyfe]

i really love this film bc it reminds me of when i were in high school and had a crush on a 20 something year old guy. we didn't do the "do" like Charlotte and Joe did but my dream of speaking to him did come true..oh those were the days...

[xXxSailorNekoxXx]

"Well I had my high school diploma and my first paycheck; why would I stay?" Haha that's wisdom.

[TheScorpio4lyfe]

@xXxSailorNekoxXx ..hahaha that funny..i had to rewind it after reading your comment bc i missed it before..lol classic line from Cher

[dorothea0831]

when does she turn into a mermaid

[1msbabygotback]

[frhs2010grad]

Who is that lady with Cher at 2:19?

[demiandfaber]

what i never see  mermaids?

[jnctf]

@demiandfaber don't you know what a metaphor is? The word Mermaids is used as a metaphor.

[xxjackiexxlove]

Is this movie a novel?

[TheScorpio4lyfe]

@xxjackiexxlove ..yes, the film is based on the 1986 novel of the same title written by Patty Dann.

[MellaBella87]

my favorite line in all of movie history is in this movie, "Don't do anything I wouldn't do.... or anything I would!" HAHAHAHA!!! I say that all the time! lol

[Popteart]

Weren't cosmetics considered 'whorish' back then?

[KogazGirl3121]

i would love stars in my sandwitches :)

[KogazGirl3121]

wynona is such a hipacritical brat in this movie -.-"

[blackhorse099]

when cher cut those stars in the sandwiches i was like "bitch!"

[SuperJosie79]

Jake Ryan!!!!

[MZdontlikemehateme]

kates scared of water? shes a water bug asshole

[tommoore2012]

@8:55 to 9:16, cute kid

[MasterWicca]

It's ironic that Christina Ricci would wear a pumpkin, and then later star in the movie "Pumpkin."

[weirdsleepovergirls0]

woah. joe was hot :L

[VintageBeauty1313]

Thank you for posting this, by the way!!

[bentleykoa]

Kate's a swimmer and Rachel wore a mermaid costume to a New Year's Eve Party

[morikahjo]

i always love how cher yells "WHAT!?" after ruining the sandwiches!

[christentze]

the sandwhich bread look so thick and soft. delicious!

[kelizbabes]

Ok so both the times she had sex then how did she become "Mrs" Flax? She didnt say anything about getting married did she?

[KogazGirl3121]

man i would love stars on my samiches shes a bitch to cher. DONT DISRESPECT

[sparkl1nwat3r]

What does Mary say when she said "That is my mum, and when I grow up, I want to be just like...?" I couldn't quite that last part...

[maubrit66]

@sparkl1nwat3r i think she says "I wanna be just like yours"

[sparkl1nwat3r]

@maubrit66 Ahh...that makes sense now...it's understandable why. Thank you!

[sparkl1nwat3r]

What's a punch? I mean I see it almost in every of American movies at parties/prom etc...but what is really in that punch? Excuse me as I'm not from the US...

[LexieCasteel]

@sparkl1nwat3r I know it as a fruit drink.

[PaintTheSilence1]

The pumpkin bit's so cute!

[MsSmarty2010]

"hi,how r u?"

Im good,im evn better now......lol

[nat2417]

what does this have to do with mermaids?? i hope i get to see one in this movie or i wont really see the point of it hahahah

[MsChino103]

''ok lets make a deal when u can stop bieng a little bitch'' classic i was supa mad at a teacher i accidently said that

[MACABREMARIPOSA]

having either Cher & Ms. Flax for moms would be kick ass

[MsChino103]

pumpkin head pumpkin head

[wweleah]

hahaha i laughed so hard when that little girl had the pumpkin on her head!

[Bianca16161616]

8:06 i did that to my mom one time just holding the knife 2 meter away she was like "i could think about the same thoughts about you when you piss me off, but i would cut you up and give you to your sisters and my boy friend, but eh to much effort ruining a child of mine"

[Kien8486]

*Laugh* Charlotte: "Give me strength not to sit on his lap"

[meshzy13]

'You stop being a little bitch' wow 60's moms are cool. :o

[dramadork08]

when cher says "could it be...ME?" she sounds like her character laverne. it always makes me laugh(:

[lunalovett]

"difficult age."

"all charlottes ages are difficult."

[zukolover666]

What does this have to do with mermaids?

[BethLaura123x]

@zukolover666 Because they call olympic swimmers mermaids, and Kate's one of them :) I don't know how it relates to Mrs Flax & Charlotte though.

[baangel24]

@BethLaura123x With Mrs. Flax, I think it had too do with the Mermaid costume she wore too a Halloween party which you will see later on in the movie.

[BrasilianaBella]

@zukolover666 Not only because of Kate being a swimmer, but also because in psychoanalisys the tale of "the little mermaid" relates to adolescence, defining and accepting your sexual identity, your role in the world and many other things about the transition to adulthood, themes shown in the movie with Charlotte and Mrs Flax.

[zukolover666]

@BrasilianaBella oh, thanks for clearing that up.

[kelizbabes]

@zukolover666 They ran out of perfect names. Thats why nowadays they are making new and wierd names for movies

[ferdailcute]

@zukolover666 because they were Maids? lol just kidding .. some said Cher wore mermaid costume at the halloween.. i

[zukolover666]

@ferdailcute i thought it was a New Years party.

[MZdontlikemehateme]

@zukolover666 the girl is a a water lover the little one i guess

[zukolover666]

@MZdontlikemehateme oh.

[TiffanyConnor]

@zukolover666 According to the author of the original novel, Patty Dann: "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. As for Charlotte she resembles a mermaid poised on the shore, waiting to jump in, unsure whether she'll sink or swim."

[zukolover666]

@TiffanyConnor ah. now it's all clear to me. Thank you and the author!

[Iluvmyhorses18]

@zukolover666

yeah i agree ive only since bits of this movie twice

[Sharavis]

@zukolover666 The use of the word mermaid is a metaphor. Mermaids could either be dark, fickle creatures that would seduce men and take them to the bottom of the ocean. While at the same time there is the story of the little mermaid a being with a pure soul. All in all mermaids are associated with women, so instead of the title being called something like women, it's called mermaids to represent if anything the constant changing of emotions that all the characters go through.

[Lor3tta1]

@Sharavis ♥

[Hattaru]

@Sharavis LOL I am suprised that people don't get the word Mermaid and stuff, even I caught that on LOL hehhehe.

[Sharavis]

@Hattaru I tell ya..I worry about people sometimes. However if anyone is interested. I recommend reading all of the original grim fairytales & such. Metaphors abound! But it is good to know that there are others out there who catch on to things!! You deserve a pat on the back my friend!!

[Hattaru]

@Sharavis LOL thank you, well I mean even if you don't understand why it is called Mermaides you could watch part of the film and get an idea, but yes you are right "mermaids could be either be dark, flckle creatures: and seduce men: and also be pure like the Little mermaide" I honestly think that is why people get confussed of the Title, because they think about "The Little Mermaide" indsead of what the word means, but yes mermaids are women so I get the title, LOL, Thanks for the pat. LOL.

[RaeRae914]

LOL pumkin part so funny ...cool insane kid

[cheetaz49]

this movie is such a classic . loooove it 

[jazzybunny07]

"dificult age"

"All charlotte's ages are dificult"

Love that line :)

[ThoseLittleRabbits]

the pumpkin part was funny

[blondeleo16]

i remember watching the bit with Christina Ricci running around with a pumpkin on her head as a kid! my sister and i nearly killed ourselves laughing... years later, it's still hilarious.

[frostkiss2]

Charlotte is hilarious xD

I bet the books way better but the movie is great! =D

[alitam219]

Cher is SKINNY!!!

[SilverStray7884]

@alitam219 Cher is HOT!!!!!

[Kadda1234]

@SilverStray7884

Yes, if you're 40.

[SilverStray7884]

@Kadda1234 Yeah seeing as I'm 17....*shakes head and laughs*

[myonetruelovess]

Love this Movie!!

[wuddacutiepie85]

i love @ 4:02 when cher says "if u stop being a little bitch" LOL

[MellaBaby1]

Love this movie. I read the book when I was 12 after I had first seen the movie. Both great.

[wranglerlover95]

Christina Ricci and Winona Ryder are the perfect match for on-screen sisters!

[yorkandpomona]

"ARE WE TALKING CARS OR MEN?"

"i DONT KNOW, I'VE BEEN TAKEN FOR A RIDE BY BOTH OF THEM"

[katiemc66]

RACHAEL FLAAAAX!!...thump LOL

[analeorne]

Ricci's scene with the pumpkin seems like a prologue to Adams' Family lol...

[Raeanne231]

is he a lil slow r sumtin ??????

[Toocrazyforthisworld]

"No!"

WHAT!"

[BeatlesFetish09]

lol. i'd be horrified too if my mother cut up my sandwiches into stars!

[rude1boii]

she said ham sandwitch in the other i thought she was jewish.

?????????

[rachelflax1963]

That's the point, it was right before she ran off and she was eating it to spite her parents.

[PhotonDrive]

Whole cult of "being Amelican" at the time - so the little flags in bagel-bits fit right in! See "Naming Names", Hollywood Studio head marraiges, political contributions, AIPAC, & right-wing trotskyist propaganda channels in general.

[Mirandahobbes1]

Ohhh, I thought she said "man-sandwich", like she wanted to make big masculine sandwiches :D

[ketchuplittletomato]

@rude1boii Charlotte doesn't follow that tradition because she's Christian unlike her mother.

[rachelflax1963]

She's not Christian, her mother's Jewish so she's Jewish. She just doesn't practice.

[ketchuplittletomato]

@rachelflax1963 Yeah, I remember her mom saying "Charlotte, we're Jewish". But she seems to be practicing Christianity / Catholicism.

I'm pretty ignorant about religions. Is Judaism a birth right?

[AllyTheIrishFaire]

No, she is practicing Catholicism, and therefore is a Catholic, apart from the fact she has been brought up as a Jew. However, she hasn't had her communions yet so u could argue that she isn't officially a Catholic.

[rachelflax1963]

Yes, she's practicing Christianity/Catholicism but biologically speaking, she's officially Jewish. It's passed down from the mother.

[jennyscreamsout]

@ketchuplittletomato Being Jewish is a race and a religion.

[ketchuplittletomato]

@jennyscreamsout Thanks for the info.

[eminedoee]

im sorrie btu what does this film have to do wif mermaids ?

[siramour]

@eminedoee I think its just about women and the beauty and different types of allure in them...

[HospiceRN666]
