What's with the title change?


This used to be The Platform (2019). Now it's El hoyo (2020).

Even the imdb page it links to is still The Platform (2019).

You are kidding right? You do know it is a Spanish film...

It’s a plot whole

I do know that this is a Spanish film. But this is not a Spanish forum. And the title was clearly in English for at least a year. The imdb page that this forum links to is also still in English.

Many other film titles are translated from the original language both from English to another language and to English from another language.

So, the question is valid. Why the change after a year?

reply

Okay so you are literaly complaining about this site using the films correct title and not the translated title... Because it originally used the english title... is that really something you want to worry about?

reply

The OP is asking a reasonable question. You are are the one who is complaining about a reasonable question.

As you would say "is that really something you want to worry about?"

reply

Okay guys... I wish you luck in discovering this great mystery... (I think the answer will be... because they felt like it)

I'm curious about the title change too. What crawled up your ass and died?

reply

The english translated title of 'El hoyo';-)

reply

Work on your Spanish. El Hoyo actually The Hole.

reply

Why??? Did I translate the film's title to The Platform... I do not think I deserve credit for that...

reply

It's not a complaint. It's a simple question.

reply

Fair enough... If you really want to know then contact moviechat.org as they are the only ones that know... As you can clearly see... no one here knows...

OldG is very disturbed

reply

Why? Because I do not share your passion for why moviechat changed the title... I am pretty sure you are the disturbed one...

reply



He's asking a perfectly reasonable question, so fuck off OldG you obnoxious cunt.


reply

Yes I now see it is a very important question... We must get to the bottom of this...

And nice to meet you DeckardB26354 you seem like a very nice person:-)

Likely been changed to get fans of the genre to 'double-dip' on the same title? (although the poster-art hasn't changed)

The film was OK, nothing great.
