Week 34

Watch a movie where a main character is referenced in the title, but not directly named.

We've previously had a challenge in which we watched a movie with a title that contained a character's name. This week, we're looking at titles in which they're referenced but not named.

This might sound like a subtle difference, but it opens up a world of possibilities when choosing what to watch. Titles that reference a character without naming them can carry a certain intrigue, inviting you to discover who this person is and what role they play. It's like the filmmakers are giving you a hint, but they want you to connect the dots as you watch.

These types of movies can also offer a unique experience with the title itself becoming part of the narrative. It might make you think about the character in a different light or add layers of meaning as the plot unfolds. Plus, it’s a fun way to engage with the movie, as you might find yourself wondering how the title connects to the characters or guessing who the title is really about as the story progresses.

Suggestions

These movies are mentioned in the video as potential suggestions for the challenge.
