Scam? Gimmick? What's the best word to describe tittle?


Scam? Gimmick? What's the best word to describe tittle?
This is the most misleading and deceiving title of the movie history! Some words come to mind: Dishonest , Scam, gimmick, misleading.
I guess producers/director felt the need to be this dishonest as using the real title ‘weird married couple and their problems’ would not attract people to the theaters.

Thanks. After Reading here about the movie I decided to skip it/them altogether.

It was an accurate title. She may not have disappeared in a literal sense, but she still disappeared from the life she led to find herself and figure what to do from there.

I disagree, I thought it was an excellent title. People do name their kids after songs after all, and here we have a title character who is trying to disappear from her life. How is that dishonest or misleading? It's pretty close to literal.

I dunno. I think it would be unfortunate and a burden for a child to have to go through life named Eleanor Rigby, a sad song about a depressing woman. You'd be forced to listen to people sing "all the lonely people, where do they all come from?" whenever you appeared. Or wonder if that's really your name.

She was a self indulged, entitled brat that did lose herself in her own self, so it was like a death. A death from herself.

I don't think the time to judge someone is right after their child has died.
