Initially is Connor and father figure to Mia?
Connor acts as a father figure however she doesn't know how to react to a father figure and became attracted to him.
Mia never had a father figure growing up, so never knew what a father figure was like, Connor was very complimentary and supportive of Mia, Mia did not know what to do with Connor as she had never experienced a guy being like this to her without a sexual relationship outcome.
What does the film make you think about the current state of british families?
That they no longer follow the conventional values of having father and mother for the children and no sex before marriage. Mia's father is not mentioned throughout the whole film.
In Fishtank Mia's mother shows little concern for her well being and education. Its as if parents are letting their children run free with no boundaris and get away with what ever they feel like.
Due to the way a family is in the Fishtank, there is not much family bonding or connection, Mia is mostly out of the house and doesn't really talk to her mother. Mia seems to be closer to her mothers boyfriend then to her mother.
Now you have seen the film have your opinions of the characters changed?
Mia : Our views on Mia have not really changed after seeing the film, as we predicted there were reasons to why she acted so outrageously. She is quite a complex character, and perhaps has more odd behavious and sudden mood swings then we thought from reading about her before watching the film.
Mother : Her mother is perhaps worse then we originally thought she would be, she could be labeled as the main cause for the families dysfunctional behaviour.
Sister : At the beginning her sister appears to be a little brat, but towards the end of the film you realise how she is a little kid and doesn't want Mia to leave.
