For the films lovers, a movie isn’t just a story or an actress, but all the things behind that, like the soundtrack, costumes or even the titles.
By the way, speaking about it, I was thinking: How the title of the movie can change from country to country. For this reason, I decided to do a list about the funniest and weirdest titles’ translations from English to Portuguese.
So… Let’s check all the changes!
