fish tank is about girl named mia while living an estate going threw a first love and the wanting of freedom and meaning in the world and deal with cards she has been given.
fish tank is a 2009 british drama film written and directed by andrea arnold the film won the jury prize at the 2009 cannes film festival. It also won the 2010 BAFTA for best british film. the film had a budget of 1.8 million pounds and runs for exactly 123 minutets they made 1,451,678 in the box office.
Mia (the main character) is violent person with her being aggressive to her under loving mother and her little 12 year old sister that smokes and is similar to her mother while mia is not but mia early on show's her individuality through dance which she dosen't want her mother or sister to know about as she is scared of what they might say since she may act like she dosent care but she dose. she also has a very high interest in a horse in a traveller camp which in the film represent her as it is trapped within the cage or tank and it is chained to a rock which she tries to free it from. mia is a character which everyone ethier knows a mia or is a mia where they are 2 different people given the right setting and scenario in this cases mia shows her passion of dance with the amount of energy and effort she put into learning how to dance and to do new moves. mia is the embodiment of what it means to feel like a teenager with it being a stuggel thinking everything is aggasints you and it takes complete strangers to help you through a tough time.
Enter Connor O'rigely mias boy friend of the month and all around guy (until later) he is introduced about 7 minutes into the film and he instantly seems chiming and is obviously handsome. later on he drives them to the countryside trying to make good impressions with the two daughters by giving them new experiences and shows them a wider range of music than the rap/hip hop they constantly play threw the t.v. and introduces them to Bobby Womack's version of california dreamin as well as asking mia to express herself though dance which is insulted by her sister and mother.

the rest of the film will not be spoiled but mia ends up leaving home like she wanted with her new friend billy who is a bit of a car geek building his own car from other parts of other cars that he finds in junkyards of old run down cars which they meet after mia tries to free the horse for a second time and he is there to give her stuff back and a very nice relationship blossoms as she takes him to her personal dance studio as they share each other company and each others drink like a real relationship.
