Meaning Behind a Title

When we watch films, do we understand that in some cases are they meant to simply entertain us or is the filmmaker trying to present us with a meaning behind the title? This really made me think when it comes to the films we've been watching in class because most of them present a meaning that the filmmaker is trying to present. It is pure art. Now think about the movies we watch outside of class. For me, I feel like almost all of them are for entertainment purposes. Nothing against them, I love entertainment movies to the max. I just think we need to get even more of a perspective on the films that are trying to present a message. Films with morals reflect on your own life. They make you think. Co Hoedeman presents this meaningful images with his films. Like in Ludvic, he brings the audience's attention by relating something that could happen in their lives. If we had a grandmother who passed away we might connect even more. A real connection of love. Now in Tchou Tchou, this film might bring back memories of playing with blocks and then he presents it with almost an Adam and Eve central idea. From only those two living in this area of blocks and then being harmed by a serpent. Basically to sum it up... I love when the filmmaker is to present a meaning behind their film.
