Mermaids - The Movie [5/11]

[H2OFAN125XX]

WHY does everyone be sad because the president died

[Hersheychocolate567]

That face scared the SHIT out of me!!!!!!!!!!

[VVRoCkErA1240]

oh my God i luved the kissing part i just pretend that it wa me kissing him!!

[enjoixander]

8:10-8:12 "this new sea". Mermaids, as this film title,symbolic mythological creatures that live in the sea. Alas, the sea is getting so polluted that even the mythological beings are dying off!

[CherryBlack30]

la scene la plus triste du film

[BreyerGurl09]

wht a weird kiss...

[jazzy1003]

the movie is called "MERMAIDS"for its metaphor ughh.....i suggest you look up the metaphor for mermaids...

[theKellz110]

ummm where r the mermaids did they DIE

[theblondesillygirl2]

I don't understand why it would be called MERMAIDS though

[Emily3271998]

Y did they name the film mermaids if there's no mermaids!?!?!?

[87kittygirl]

Having a mum like she has I am suprised she is so hung up about sex. But a 15 year old should not be with a 26 year old period.

[TheScorpio4lyfe]

this movie came out in 1989..i lwas in 4th grade at that time. I love watching this film so much bc it reminds me of how fun the 80s and 90s were.

[sablo75]

@TheScorpio4lyfe - same here

[TheScorpio4lyfe]

this should be a classic movie..i just love it

[ButtercupBabeee]

"Why is this movie called Mermaids?" such an annoying question. Here ya go:

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."

Pass it on. Stop the trend

[InnocentFame]

Great Movie! Christina Ricci is so cute! ♥

[demiandfaber]

this movie is suck cuz i never see a mermaid

[TheScorpio4lyfe]

[TheScorpio4lyfe]

@bill11100 ..cool! so you are saying the kids couldn't get their part coorect ot charlotte?

[Popteart]

They did a really great job at making this film look like it was really the 60's.

[MissKarma666]

[LiverpoolHell666]

@wweleah well then the myth was if you kissed you pregnant those myths still go around today haha

[meshzy13]

Lol I'm pretty sure the women from the 60's or maybe 1800 even know kiss doesn't produce baby! Any how Winona is a great actress, so funny.

[paintw1zard1377]

[Thandiwe15]

[123RachelAnne]

[funon14]

did people really care when he got shot?

[meshzy13]

@funon14 - Yeah of course they did! I'm not from US but my parents told me once it created such a riot news.

[alitam219]

If Kennedy was shot in December, why are the kids in the classroom watching a film on Thanksgiving?

[wannabeangel83]

@alitam219 kennedy was shot on november 22nd

[alitam219]

@wannabeangel83 Whooops....November 22-youre right! Guess who didnt pay enough attention in history class...

[brownsuga1212]

tha kiss was sexy :P

[TheXander360]

lol cher is clo xD

[XxSadisticWraithxX]

PhotonDrive, clearly you don't know your mythology. Before you go on your pathetic little rant, know your facts. Sirens are not all fun and games like Disney portrays them. Wake up. They are vicious killers who would lure men and sailors to their deaths when they sang. And another thing, the story doesn't revolve around Christina's character, it revolves around Winona's and Chers. Next time shut your face you moron.

[XxSadisticWraithxX]

I believe it's called Mermaids because mermaids or sirens are beautiful women who men lust over. Sirens lure men to their demise and ruin. And the characters that both Cher and Winona play kind portray Mermaids aka Sirens.

[PhotonDrive]

Mermaids are good swimmers - like the little girl. They are all fun & lure no one to their doom! If you are that hung up & repressed - go join a monestery! It will inflate your mental illness much further. Perhaps you will jump from a Bell Tower - like Orson Welles?

[supersweetz1996]

is this even about mermaids why the hell is it called mermaids!

[jennyscreamsout]

@supersweetz1996 maybe the mom is a fish out of water? :D

[drtpur16]

Cher is actually really sexy.

[AnnaNicole6969]

I still don't know what he see's in her! lol Mmmm Joe! lol x

[Darkie1358]

[nessanooo]

@Darkie1358  I totally agree!!! I was just thinking that when it started

[AdArmand]

Another similar movie that is set around this date is Love Field, with Michelle Pfeiffer.

[megkoji99]

[ktherz]

One must take into account the time this movie is set in - 1960s. Not that it makes it right of course.

[TrustedadviceStudios]

a kis doesn't mean anything

[LadyK8E]

I LOVE the music in this movie.

[irishangel14]

[gumgirl2]

[sacagawea12]

[asilahvista]

Still, it's not like they knew him personally.

[Rowan07001484]

Some people get upset when people they idolise die.

[prestidigitator45]

i honestly don't really get why its called mermaid, even if her mom dresses up as a mermaid and the room gets designed like under the sea. o.O

i think it should been called MOTHER or something

[AdArmand]

'Mother'? Like 'Mommie Dearest'? LMAO!

[DisneyCharmedAndrews]

its called mermaids because mermaids roam around, just like they do

[zukolover666]

@prestidigitator45 agreed!

[jeno913]

LOL she thinks she is pregnant just becuase she kissed a guy I love it! so hilarious!

[gapeachy88]

[katcarothers]

"I'm pregnant! Lord how could you do this to me?! How could you be so strict!" ................amazing lol

[Yashodam]

At 8:50 she's praying in Latin: "Dominoes and biscuits... today verbatum plutonium anti gemini fruit bascum... potassium..." or whatever... LOL

[JonasLoveLife]

hahahah the bell tower was funny and i like how she thinks she pregnant when all she did was kiss him hahahahahah

[tinkerbellkircubbin]

[peggysue42]

lol i love how she freaks out like if she just murdered someone

its so cute

[EnchantingNature]

Charlotte is not such a goody after all!hahaha I love this movie!

[starrbeatlesqueen]

the first time i saw this movie, the scene with the statues and charlotte believing she committed something bad scared me.

[Mizumi17]

this movie is soooo weird..... but i cant stop watching.

[pyramidhead138]

@ 5:30 "it feels like there isnt a single adult left on the entire planet" she says. how truthful. well, its even worse today

[toguansinahi]

O_O;... That was weird.
