who's idea was this title? it's stupid


Who's idea was this. this too is plagiarism to the John Candy Movie. Dumb them.

reply

It's not plagiarism. Lots of films have the same title. Cassavettes's and Sonnenfeld's "Big Trouble," Baumbach and the new "Kicking and Screaming," Cronenberg's and Haggis's "Crash." I have no problem with this title anyway.

yeah but really

When I first saw the film being advertised on SHOWTIME, I thought they were talking about the John Candy movie too initially...and when I actual saw the filml I have to admit I really don't know why they gave the film the title they did.

reply

Yeah, the title didn't really seem to fit well. I also thought it was the John Candy film when I saw it at first on Showtime.

This is what DiCillo said on his website.

"I chose the title Delirious primarily because it means, “A state of happiness so intense it verges on being crazy.” It seemed like a good word to describe the people in the film. They don’t want to just be happy–they want to be so happy they’re almost insane."

Which fits Buscemi's character, if nothing else.

Dear Mr. DiCillo,

That explanation is as INANE as the title itself.

I thought a better title would've been "Rule #1"

I agree the title is dumb. It describes nothing about the movie or it's characters. "Delusional" would have been a better title.
