I was browsing for a movie at Tsutaya when I noticed Pat Morita on the cover of a movie called "Best Kid", written in katakana. I knew the English title was "Karate Kid". The Japanese love to change movie titles. I am okay with it but it is frustrating. I read once it drives Spielberg crazy.
Last week I rented "How to find the best life" starring Jack Nicholson. I prefer the English title, "The Bucket List". I suppose Japanese movie distributors are free to do as they wish. It is all about marketing. Yet, something tells me they are doing a disservice to their audience and the movie industry.
