Your argument is that titles aren't usually there to give the viewer a clue as to what the movie is about? What are they for, then?

To set a mood? That's what I like to do with my titles, anyway (and why I'm still salty that Tom Stoppard's The Invention of Love is kind of a boring play; that title was wasted IMO).

To set a mood for what? I'd suggest that "setting a mood" IS the title providing a clue as to what the movie is about.

Not necessarily. Plot and mood can be somewhat independent of each other. A title that sets a mood without hinting at what the movie is about can simply be used to prime a general feeling that one can expect to have while watching the movie (such as intrigue).

And I would argue that priming" a general feeling that one can expect to have while watching the movie (such as intrigue)" is a clue about the movie's content.

I'd say that applies maybe 50% of the time. There are some titles that evoke a mood while hinting at content but do more of the former. "The Shape of Water", "In the Mood for Love", and even "Encanto" are good examples of titles that are more about setting a mood than presenting general content of the movie. To me, the title of Jordan Peele's films follow this track and follow it well.

To differentiate them from every other movie? Like? You're confusing a tag line and poster for the title and it's kind of amazing.

[(Anonymous)]

DA

But it's weirder to me that you think people can differentiate movies by title when there's nothing about the title to remind them which word connects to which movie.
