i didnt get the relevance of the title


its probably because i wasnt paying close enough attention or something, but i didnt get why imogen's present (the painting of the two of them, at the end of the movie) had "down to you" on it. was that said somewhere earlier in the movie or something?

reply

All I know is that in the trailer for the movie, the guy that speaks says "It all comes down to you" at the end. Hope this helped.

I noticed it was the title of the book that she gave him at the end of the movie, but I didn't really get the significance of it either.

I think the title was something chosen by the studio because it was catchy and grabbed the attentions of movie-goers.

At the time of its theatrical release, a glut of teen movies were on the market and Paramount figured this title would allow them to cash in.

"down to you" is a expression to say, that "you" is the only person for you in your live.

I always thought of it as the saying "it's down to you" meaning.. it's your decision.

Listen to the theme song.. may answer your question.

I think had something to do with going back to your first love (like they did in the movie). They broke up, went their separate ways, experimented and dated other people but in the end, they wound up together again. Why? Because... "It All Comes Down To You".

reply

I think its just because the book at the end was titled "Down to You" and for the cover she designed it was a painting of the two of them.

The original title was "A Case of You". It's the title of a Joni Mitchell song. They probably couldn't get the rights and decided to go with something generic that sounded similar.

reply

if the song had been featured more in the movie (instead of just over the end credits) it may have made more sense. I found myself wondering about the title too.

reply

"Down to you", maybe because it comes down to her decision. After all he's in love but she's the one having cold feet.
