How does splash end

But one of the most striking things about the movie as seen through an adult's eyes is how fast Allen and the mermaid he dubs Madison fall into an intimate relationship.

After rescuing Allen from what would have been a fatal boat accident, the first thing Madison does is kiss him. And when Madison makes her way onto land and finds Allen again, there is more very public kissing. Allen doesn't even know her name, nor does Madison even speak English yet, before the two are sleeping together.

It's true that stories of mermaids often tell of the powerful sexual magnetism that comes with a siren's song and presence, and that allure is perfectly captured onscreen by the stunning Daryl Hannah, but seeing this dynamic play out in a PG-rated family movie is rather jarring.

While adults will definitely have some questions about how a mermaid learned how to read English while living underwater, as well as how she figured out how to read maps of dry land above, this pales in comparison to an initial horror Madison is subjected to on her quest for Allen. Madison arrives at Staten Island during a tour of the Statue of Liberty.

As the tour guide talks about what an inspiration Lady Liberty is to all who have built new lives in America, a mob of men sees naked Madison emerge from the water and they quickly surround her. The men grope her as she looks visibly uncomfortable, and many of them take pictures of her as well as try to get pictures of themselves with the nude woman even as she's hiding her face and trying to get away.

For a family film, this is certainly a disturbing moment that should give adults pause, especially since Madison was the only person arrested for nudity , not those who were manhandling her. Just because Madison was unclothed, it didn't give those men any right to non-consensually touch or photograph her; for adults with children, this is a good teachable moment for their kids to learn about consent. As the mermaid Madison gets her land legs and begins exploring Manhattan, dressed dapper in one of Allen's suits Annie Hall -style, she finds herself in the famous New York department store Bloomingdale's, where she inadvertently gets a makeover thanks to Allen's credit card.

Madison buys thousands of dollars worth of designer clothes, shoes, and makeup without a problem. Let's recall that Splash takes place in , when credit card limits weren't as astronomical as they are now. How can he afford all this and more? Allen might be the co-owner of a fruit and produce selling company, but not only is the business struggling, Allen's brother Freddie John Candy regularly gambles away whatever profits they make.

Which next begs the question: How does Allen afford that huge apartment on the upper east side of Manhattan that comes with an enormous soaking bathtub big enough to fit a 5'11" mermaid? Only adults would notice the disconnect between Allen's struggling company and his rather lavish life outside work.

As Madison learns the ways of the human world, it's often at the expense of innocent folks around her. While shopping at Bloomingdale's, she discovers the wonderful world of television and learns how to speak English, as well as repeat all the annoying advertisements that taught her the language. When Allen finds her there and discovers she can talk, he finally asks her name. Madison tells him using her mermaid sonar, which causes all the glass nearby to shatter.

The store clerks are shocked, but Allen's only response is "Hey, how about those Knicks? Adults know that in real life, someone would have had to pay for all that damage, otherwise the police would have been on their way.

But Allen's credit card doesn't get any more of a workout and the two are left free to go. Madison also continues to cause massive car accidents and pile-ups as she runs out into New York City traffic without looking where's she's going.

Allen's excuse continues to be "She's from out of town," which really shouldn't cut it for all the people whose cars were damaged thanks to Madison's antics. On Madison and Allen's way back to his apartment from Bloomingdale's they pass a beautiful lighted fountain featuring a mermaid sculpture.

Allen stops to admire it and Madison asks him what it is about it he loves so much, hoping that he'll mention the mermaid and then she can tell him that's who she is too.

But Allen demurs and instead tells her that he's sad the city is about to tear down the fountain to make more room for parking. The next day, Allen introduces Madison to the concept of gifts by giving her a beautiful figurine with two people dancing in a glass case as well as an expensive Tiffany necklace. When Allen returns later from work, it's he who is surprised to find that the mermaid fountain now spouts in his own living room.

Apparently, inspired by Allen's gesture, Madison used her charms and traded the necklace for the fountain. Um, what?

First, how did they even get that fountain upstairs with just the small dolly the movers used? Second, how has it not fallen through the floor yet? And third, even in a fairytale New York City, nobody would trade a necklace for a landmark. When we first meet Allen's brother Freddie they are both kids on the boat in Cape Cod, where Freddie proceeds to drop coins on the floor and pretends to be collecting them as he's looking up women's skirts.

Freddie's mom catches him and asks her husband to speak to Freddie about it, but all he does is hit Freddie across the head, so it's no wonder that even as an adult Freddie continues with this particular strain of sexual harassment. We see a grown Freddie 20 years later dropping coins on the floor, at a wedding no less, to look up women's skirts.

That's why she took a bath that night and got her legs wet turning them into fins. Separate from membership , this is to get updates about mistakes in recent releases.

More for Splash. He was in a loveless relationship that ends when the girl just calls him over the phone as she's literally moving her stuff out of their apartment. He has no social life to speak of. And when Freddie gives him that big speech, he points out that Allen has never been happier than when he was with Madison. And he doesn't take issue with her 'lying about her identity', because she didn't lie; she just said she had a secret she wasn't ready to reveal, and by the time it was revealed in the worst possible way, she had been planning to tell him and the only reason she hadn't was because Allen kept hurrying them along.

And after The Reveal , Allen can immediately understand why she'd keep her identity a secret, but quickly comes around because he realises how happy Madison makes him.
