Movie Title


Does anyone know why this movie is titled Sun Choke?

Its just meaningless code phrase. Nanny programmed girl with it.

I'm wondering about the title as well, and have a few, unpolished theories...

-- My first theory is that it has something to do with Janie's difficult birth, and her coming into the light (of day/birth). Near the end of the film we see flashbacks to what could be the birth canal [ugh, I hate that phrase!] and being born.

-- Another theory relates to the shock dog collar she's forced to wear. Leaving the house (perimeter) into the light of day (the sun) causes a a shock delivered around the neck (a choke?).

Like I said, these theories aren't yet ready for prime time, but it's something to chew on.

Also, I should mention that "sunchoke" is another name for the Jerusalem artichoke plant - which is neither from Jerusalem or an artichoke. It is related to the sunflower. So there's possibly something to that...
