Since I grew up in the US, I rarely know international movie names here in Brazil. Sometimes even when I go to the movie theater, I’ll even get confused because I won’t know what tickets to ask for because I looked the movie up in English on a movie critic site or something.<\/p>\n

And the best part is, some of the translations have nothing <\/em>to do with the original title!<\/p>\n

\"Filmes<\/a><\/p>\n

Here are some funny translations of “classics.”<\/p>\n

This is how we’ll write these out:<\/p>\n

The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly = <\/strong>Tr\u00eas Homens em Conflito = Three Men in Conflict<\/em><\/p>\n

Pulpfiction = <\/strong>Pulpfiction, Tempo de Viol\u00eancia = Pulpficion, A Violent Time\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

The Usual Suspects = <\/strong>Os Suspeitos = The Suspect\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

It’s a Wonderful Life = <\/strong>A Felicidade N\u00e3o Se Compra = [You] Can’t Buy Happiness\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

The Departed = <\/strong>Os Infiltrados = The Infiltrated\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

To Kill a Mockingbird = <\/strong>O Sol \u00e9 Para Todos = The Sun is For All\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

The Prestige = <\/strong>O Grande Truque = The Big Trick\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

The Green Mile = A Espera de Um Milagre = <\/strong>Waiting for a Miracle<\/p>\n

Snatch = <\/strong>Snatch – Porcos e Diamantes = Snatch – Pigs and Diamonds<\/em><\/p>\n

Cool Hand Luke = <\/strong>Rebeldia Indom\u00e1vel = Unconquerable Rebellion <\/em>(fun fact = put the full Brazilian title in Google translate and you get “Cool Hand Luke” as a result)<\/p>\n
