CHAPTER 1: INTRODUCTION 1.1 Rationale Language is an indispensable tool in communication It‘s considered to have miraculous power in conveying the ideas, purposes and messages With the globalization, Film industry is really becoming an integral part in the modern life It brings the audiences not only happiness, entertainment but also experiences in life No usual day goes by without seeing the films on TV, at the cinema, on the Internet Films really become a preciously spiritual form to satisfy all senses, and it also makes an emotional connection in conveying the life messages, thrilling experiences, excitement and awareness through its main emphasis aspects Sometimes, the films can bring back optimistic thoughts for unhappy person, enrich people‘s knowledge, and enhance people‘s analytical thinking Films make our life more vivid and exciting Movie is so important that it has become the first arts of the human world Moreover, it‘s very clear that film titles are always the first impressive things come into the viewer‘s mind instead of the characters, director or the content of the film A good film title certainly helps not only grab the viewers‘ interest but also bring

What‘s the core conflict? What‘s the overall emotion screenwriter wants to convey in the script‘s title? Then, it is stylistic devices that assist screenwriter to create a unique and memorable title because ―stylistic devices‖ just means ―fancy ways of saying or writing something‖ Therefore, in the practice of the writing film titles as well as film title translation 55) comedy Hukabees Coalition" One of their current projects is an attempt to stop the building of a new Huckabees store, a chain of "big-box" department stores possessed by Brad Stand I ♥ Huckabees follows a couple of detectives hired by Albert to investigate the meaning of the life of their clients In the heart of the sea: action Biển sâu dậy sóng While at sea, the Essex crew, led by young captain George Pollard (Benjamin Walker) and experienced fishing captain Owen Chase (Chris Hemsworth), were attacked by a giant whale Nobody expected, the gentle whale so hateful human beings so However, the story behind the whale attack is even more terrifying In The Heart of the Sea focuses on exploiting the process of capturing the lives of the survivors on board They go through a scary 90-day journey, both in ocean and inland Human limitations, beliefs, moral values are pushed to the bottom when they face the ocean, storms, hunger, fear and despair Lonely hearts : crime Sát thủ cô đơn 57) Madonna : Rebel Heart tour : documentary Madonna: Các hát Rebel Heart Madonna: Rebel Heart Tour spans all decades of the iconic superstar's illustrious career, including songs from Rebel Heart to classic fan favorites like "Material Girl" and "Holiday."
