| | Posted: | | | | The Boogeyman, so that isn't very helpful either.
This is the opening title of the film itself, so should be entered in the Original Title field. | | | | Cor |

| | Posted: | | | | Samuelrichardscott asks the right question.
What's on the DVD's front cover should go into the Title field (rule: "Use the title from the front cover").
What's on screen in the film itself should go into the Original Title field (rule: "Use the title from the film's credits."). |

I would imagine. Why would it be anything else? | | | | "This movie has warped my fragile little mind." |

I would imagine. Why would it be anything else? I don't know. Couldn't find a thing about the use of brackets in titles. Maybe I overlooked something, so that's why I turned to this forum to be sure. | | | | Cor |

| | Posted: | | | | To ask is always good and i also agree with the others: imo the original title is Mirror (chi vive in quello specchio?) |

| | Posted: | | | | I also think that because the brackets are on the screen, they are part of the original title. |

| | Posted: | | | | It's not brackets [ ] It's parenthesis ( )  And yes, they should be entered, as they are part of the original title...  | | | Berak

And yes, they should be entered, as they are part of the original title... I agree about the title but brackets is correct. While you can use parentheses, (rounded) brackets is also perfectly acceptable. |
