this is the better trailer by far, in the other one. it tries to portray the movie as a comedy, even though this is quite emotionally moving to those who have divorced parents. favorite movie
Anyone else find it really creepy that Anna Paquin and Jeff Daniels played father and daughter in Fly Away Home but in this they play lovers (kinda)...?
@ThePhantom135 ikr? I mean have you seen the shining trailers? They all suck and they make you think the shining is some sort of cheesy family movie... But that's the thing! The trailers dont make the movie (kinda the same as "dont judge a book by its cover")

The Squid and the Whale....in other words, how two people who pride themselves on their intellect and big vocabularies are bigger monsters than the people they analyze in their writing...
i honestly went into watching this trailer expecting an epic battle between a squid and a whale somewhere hundreds of miles below the surface of the ocean. just goes to show what a huge kick in the balls the movie industry is. Now if you excuse me i'm off to redtube, all the videos there end the same but at least they're better than this bullshit.
Laura Linney is not a "whore" in this movie. She plays a wife and Mother who is made miserable by her condescending and self serving husband. Ultimately, she triumphs at the end. This movie is well worth the rental fee.
ITS A JUST A TRAILER!!! N hw does d person getting diabetes help u ?!! U sick little fucker!! If u didnt like d trailer , there was no need to leave ur stupid comments. Then gen ill give u d benefit of d doubt maybe ur fukking retarded, as a matter of fact ur an insult to retards!!!
When i see this I see my life, from the fathers perspective, and I fear for my children and what we have done. It isn't what I wanted for them and It was not what I wanted for me. Im so sorry.
He went back to the museum because he wanted to overcome his fear of looking at the squid in the whale. As a child he was terrified by it. And I also think he was trying to prove to himself that he wasn't as emotional as his Dad said he was when he was visiting him in the hospital.
I just saw this movie today; It was only .99 for a rental on iTunes, and I thought I'd watch it. I'm so glad I did. This movie is excellent. I can't wait to find a copy of it soon. I couldn't stop laughing at the masturbation scene.
i felt the masterbation scene where essential in showing how detached and delusional the youngest son was becoming. oddly enough, i guess none of you got that :)
This movie is spectacular and show's what divorce is like amongst disfunctional people. I was impressed other than the fucking weird masturbation scenes of course
Nevermind. This trailer actually sucks. It shows too much of the plot. What the fuck is the point of watching the film anymore?
You fucking ruined the movie for anyone who never watched it before. I hope you get diabetes and they have to cut off your feet. Your broke ass will not have enough money to buy a wheel chair so you will be bed ridden & can't use your computer anymore. Then the world will be spared of more of your shitty trailers.
@ff7reborn dude. relax. discuss yer anger issues at your next therapy session and dont take it out on the world. we're talkin bout movies here, right?
@ff7reborn you spineless fuck shit talking ppl over the internet (ironic huh?) that is way over the line to go as far as wishing he has diabetes and having his feet cut off and being bed ridden...cause if he had no feet and had to lay in bed...hed have bed sores...and nobody wants that...do you want to jerk off with bob dylan in my backseat...cherry cherry gum disease...black people like harrison ford...ballistically; i dont know what that means...so please help me find my pony...thank you sir
Squid and the whale is my favorite movie. i love the realistic feel the movie has, thanks to the use of handheld 16 mm cameras instead of professional mounted 32mm cameras. and the converstaion used. Noah Baumbach is my favorite director. his dialogue is great. he understands how to make conversations and characters feel real. great movie.
there's a display of a squid and a whale fighting at the museum of natural history which was mentioned and visited in the movie. that's where the title comes from.
The squid and the whale display was something that the older brother always had a hard time looking at when he would visit the museum - it frightened him. I would say that it represents his struggle with facing the fact that his parents are going to divorce.
I believe that the fight scene of the squid against the whale represents his parents and their problems and quarrels which eminently lead to the divorce. For years he didn't want to accept that both of them caused the conflict, he always took his father's side. At the end he perceives both as causers and victims of their divorce and then he is able to see the big picture without taking sides or judging.

I don´t think the squid and the whale represent anything in particular, its just that the guy is so fed up with his parents that he can only go to the museum to see that, just to forget about his family for a while. It´s his refuge.....
mmm you can always make your own interpretation...besides, as far as I remember, the main character throws a line in that sense....nevertheless, it's not only about the divorce of his parents. It's also about how intellectual people completely disregard their children, and happen to think that they will keep them content by talking to them about books.
it doesn't have to be books. it's how society views what they consider "important" and then they view someone else who doesn't agree with them and then passing it on to their children. that's part of it
