The Pain of Growing Up: Mia in "Fish Tank"

[saqibk1]

Nice movie, better then a lot of american movies.

[dbmarion]

i ove this movie m.fassbender is so hot and sweet guy

[quietgirlriot]

I like that I got the gist of this film. Thank you. In a way it's like a less cheery An Education.

[TheKirbulit]

I also want a piggyback ride from Michael Fassbender!

[EeyoreRoxmySox7]

I hate the mother so much--I can't stand her!

[mrAZcardinal]

I LOVED Michael Fassbender in this film. It was heart-wrenching. I felt the way Mia did! I WANT HIM BUT I CANT HAVE HIM! :( :( At least she gotta hug, glomp him in his workplace and kiss him. >_>

[deuxfleuves]

It's a song by the Beach Boys, from 1965: "California Dreamin'".

[fakmemeen]

@deuxfleuves but the Bobbie Womack version

[deuxfleuves]

@fakmemeen correct

[emilyanne703]

@deuxfleuves actually it is from the Mommas and the Papas.....

[deuxfleuves]

@emilyanne703 you're right there, I confounded that.

[gabbyp15]

What is the song at the beginning, I really liked it.

[jaundist]

what i cant understand is that how if he has a family of his own can he spend so much time with joanne and her daughter?

[JasperDotCom]

@jaundist i think he got kicked out of his house. he says at the beginning that his mum kicked him out, (but he really means his wife)

[TogetherAtLast]

Hold on, so is the twist that we don't know exactly how old she is until near the end? Or do we always know she's 15?

[def51100]

Fassbender good looking=50% fail..in other words he's just average looking! Seriously he just looks like someone who pumps gas for a living!

[bebebebz234]

@def51100 what are you even doing here? your just insulting a person who looks vey attractive to a lot of people.. stop being a troll..god.

[Sindizwe]

@def51100 It's not about how he looks, it's about the fact that he has a hell of a lot of charisma.

[def51100]

This Fassbender bloke isn't that hot! Calm down dears!...to me he looks like someone who drives a bus (yeah probably a schoolbus!) compare him to a young Roger Moore or Paul Newman, and you can tell he's just average. Wouldn't get a second glance down Oxford street!

[TogetherAtLast]

@def51100 WHAAAAAAAT IS THIS BLASPHEMY

[portishphonic]

@def51100 Who said it's only about the looks? He's a tremendous actor, he is very charming and has a lovely smile.

[michaelb3197]

This is a good film, though when i started watchin I thought it was more about Mia escaping from that shit hole with that guy (Don't read if you don't want to spoil the film) then I realised shes only 15 and hes a peodo with another family, shows the fuckin social melt down of today lmao.

[nussbaum73]

@tiemedown i think i just liked one of your other comments on another fish tank clip, but yes x 100.

i thank michael fassbender for being hot, smart, and talented, and taking this film so that i could end up watching it for the amazing film it is...

[tiemedown]

michael fassbender is always leading people into new and potentially fatal places

[GothicalDarkAngel]

ok so whos the bad guy? micheal? cant be? hes an archangel :D

[GothicalDarkAngel]

okay i want to know where i can see it for free cuz every other site has a premium package and i aint got my credit car yet???

[Jennyfisch]

@GothicalDarkAngel

This isn't some big blockbuster, it's an independant film. Where's the harm in paying to watch it?

[GothicalDarkAngel]

@Jennyfisch um i dont have my credit card u know and here they dont show independent films :/

[nativecry]

If I was Mia I wouldn't hesitate to jump on top of Michael Fassbender.

* :Q___ drools at the idea*

[DarkkLoveAngel]

@nritti He asked her what her honest opinion of his perfume, and she said " fox piss "

[rocklife86]

Michael Fassbender is so hot!!!

[abbpee]

my eyes welled up with tears of jealousy 08:13....... freakin' Fassy

[asiansual]

@abbpee Me too. I wish I was that girl with him.

[gorgonzola11696]

<333 FASSY!

[Ifasmith93]

hahaha lol @ the end .. *push*

[asiansual]

Such a disappointment. Michael Fassbender here is soooo gorgeous, but his role is such a JERK! He's a great actor, especially when he plays a villain.

[SilverGlitterX]

HOLY SHIT 8:10 HOLY SHIT. omg i think i broke my jaw from hitting the ground

[addictedbydefault]

@SilverGlitterX Thats what happened when I watched the movie!

[ravenscheer23]

@SilverGlitterX Right? The first time I watched this movie I was STUNNED!

[mazandcaz]

was the girl she pushed her little sister or that guy's daughter???

[deuxfleuves]

@mazandcaz she was that guy's daughter.

[100things2do]

I'm sorry, i know she's trying. however she's not to good at dancing. she needs new dreams. haha said that in the nicest way i could.

[TashaMac89]

just an ex girlfriend, yea right!

[MAKEITWORK]

their relationship reminds me of the Kate Nash song "Nicest Thing." you need to make a fanvideo with that ASAP!

[deuxfleuves]

@MAKEITWORK yes, that song would fit. But I'm not a fan of Fassbender. So why don't you make the video?

[MAKEITWORK]

@deuxfleuves lol i've never made one before. perhaps one day i'll give it a go... any recommended programs for getting clips? i've only had limited experience with iMovie and Windows Movie Maker :/

[deuxfleuves]

@MAKEITWORK I always use Pinnacle, which is quite simple. But I guess there are loads of others that you can try and which are equally simple.

[iheartiker]

@deuxfleuves you don't like Fassbender?

[deuxfleuves]

@iheartiker who said so?

[MAKEITWORK]

Michael Fassbender is soooo fine.

[spikeyisland70]

It was such a disappointment that he takes advantage at the end and is just a dodgy bastard when he appears to be a thoroughly decent guy up until that point - an original film - loved it.

[KellyGreen5555]

@spikeyisland70 It would've been a more daring film had he NOT had sex with teenage Mia.

[jadeyes914]

such a strange relationship

[lovesababe]

i live in the us how can i get this movie on dvd?..anyone know?

[deuxfleuves]

@lovesababe I got it from movie mail UK

[lovesababe]

@deuxfleuves ok thanks soo much. i loved the video. bytheway:Dhahaha

[Pavlinkaeva]

@deuxfleuves Netflix!

[AngelofMusic04]

@lovesababe Criterion's releasing Fish Tank in the States at the end of February.

[lovesababe]

@AngelofMusic04 oh great! thanks.

[AjGold131]

My heart almost stopped when the little girl got pushed in the water!!!! :'(

[KellyGreen5555]

Thank you ! Is it possible to post more clips from this film?

[deuxfleuves]

@KellyGreen5555 Would be possible, but are not really my intentions, as I was just editing the film in such a way as to show this specific relationship which inflicts some degrees of pain on the life of this adolescent. There are of course some other interesting aspects in this film, but I'd rather like to concentrate on a different film next.
