Watch Fish Story For Free

One of my all time favorites.

Like the great film, it's made with a great deal of visible affection both in front of and behind the camera.

A clunky actioner with a handful of cool moments.

An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.

I am not the type of person to like Armageddon movies, but I truly enjoyed Fish Story. Though this movie is about how the end of the world is near, there are so many twists and unexpected turns of events, that I was fully immersed in the film for the two hours it played. And like other reviewers, by the end of it, a huge smile has been smeared on my face by the time the credits started rolling.In this unique Japanese apocalyptic story, the world is going to end by meteor strike. But somehow, a punk song called Fish Story, with a mysterious a minute of silence in it, might just offer the salvation the whole world has despaired from expecting. To find out whether it will, and how, four seemingly separate tales need to be told. But don't worry, writer and director Yoshihiro Nakamura does a great job: the four tales are all entertaining on their own, and when I realized how they are connected, I was not disappointed at all. The unfolding events, though weird and unusual, made complete sense, and none of the plot twists seemed contrived in the least.There aren't many downsides to this movie, and the only thing I would complain about is some scenes with slower pacing. But I enjoyed it so much that I still remember it fondly, many months later, as an extremely well-done, unique, and entertaining film.

Flawed? Yes. Not Quite a Masterpiece? Certainly. But one of those rare films that renews your faith in how delightfully a motion picture can portray the human condition.The Bad? Just two scenes. One which I would have cut severely and another where the Director let an actor down and should have gone for realism rather than comic petulance. You see if you can figure out which scenes I mean. *hint* One of them is with my favorite and brilliant Japanese character actress. An instance where a director took someone's strength and turned it into a weakness.Having said that, all I can say watch the film and be thankful that there are directors and producers and actors who participate in film like this. The payoff is magnificent, but getting there is half the fun. I love the way the Japanese look at themselves...the way they hold the mirror up...the way they look at redemption.Let me see if I can make this easier. If you like Wes Anderson, you'll probably like this film.

Fish Story mixes end-of-the world sci-fi scenario with rock band "mockumentary" and action-packed drama. If you like the movies about music, such as High Fidelity, This Is Spinal Tap, The Blues Brothers, you would appreciate this film which tells elaborate story about how the music saves the world. The title song makes viewing very energetic and enjoyable. The official Trailer does not give this movie full justice but instead contains too many spoilers. However, I recommend to watch the video clip with the main song of this movie, available on YouTube (search for qGzIOs4jjVk string), and if you like that video clip, you'd love this movie. I watched it on on Netflix streaming, but I don't think it is available there anymore.

Fish story –Back in the 70's proto-punk band 'Gekirin' records a single album that no one buys. They split up and go their separate ways, their seminal work destined for the scrapheap of musical history until fate plays a hand in rekindling the fire of rebellion. This is not a great movie. It's not even a good movie. It's not even a bad movie; shot through with tantalising flashes of brilliance. It is a very dull movie. Scenes which should in all sanity last a few seconds are pointlessly extended to the point where even the actors look embarrassed. The dialogue is appallingly dull –I can only suppose that the editor gave the actors the stuff he cut out; so consistent is the flat, monotonous character of the script. The acting is strange – as if the actors are constantly thinking of something else -Presumably, how long till they can escape; as will the audience.I do not work for a film company I am not paid to write reviews
