Awful title.


Character name or not, I seriously cringe when I see the title. Worse than All You Need is Kill.

TEAM CAPTAIN AMERICA

"We need a plan of attack!"
"I have a plan: ATTACK."

I don't see what's wrong with it.

Actually, I didn't find it odd at first glance because I assumed the main character would be Asian. Ha is a common Asian name.

Have you actually seen the film? The derivation of the film's title is revealed in the final shot. It's not her complete name; this ties into one of the film's themes, about the way we seek to forge for ourselves (however vainly) a complete, unified identity.

It's one of the best and most appropriate titles I've ever seen for a movie. The way they tied it into the movie made my heart sing :)

I like it too. In fact, I LOVE it. Unfortunately, a newspaper review gave away the final shot but hey, it's not Planet Of The Apes. I think the title is like everything else about the movie - it walks a fine line between quirk overload and something warm and life-affirming. Had I seen it in a different mood I'd have been cringing from the opening scenes and probably kicking at the screen by the end. But I didn't.

I Dismember Mama and The Incredibly Strange Creatures Who Stopped Living And became Mixed Up Zombies are way worse titles.
