Prompt Title: Title: Brainstorming Film Titles.

Human: I'd like your help brainstorming some titles for our film. Synopsis: A visual tour de force exploring a post-truth world where the boundary between truth and fiction bends and then shatters. This is a film that provokes powerful questions about the critical subject of disinformation and the modern breakdown of truth. It will be released in 2023, as deepfakes and many of the other themes of the film explode into the zeitgeist. The movie is in the style of Scott Pilgrim meets Fight Club. The film follows Zander Jones, who builds an army over social media to stop the spread of falsehoods by his former best friend David King, and forces David's hand to show up for a final confrontation. We realize that Zander has been omitting that he did something terrible to David, and is a much more flawed character than we thought, leading us to wonder if we made a mistake following him. Culturally, the film is designed to elevate the discourse about AI and disinformation, and is needed urgently as a platform for this conversation. The story of David King ruining Zander through disinformation, and then Zander ruining him by going to the internet and building a movement of people who hate him, is a cautionary tale about how easy it is to destroy someone. Themes of the film: - There’s a tremendous power that anyone on the internet can take — and if you take it, it will destroy you. - We are tearing each other apart The film is also meant to feel fun initially, like the dare is a fun activity, and then bring the audience to question whether they were complicit in something awful, and their role in tribalism in the real world. The style of the film is a thrilling teen hacker adventure drama, with mystery and intrigue and fun, playful elements. Some guidance on picking titles: - Hollywood conventional wisdom is that short titles are best — one, two, three words max, but distinctive words. Titles like The Matrix, Fight Club, War Games, are all compelling and provocative. - It would be nice for the title to feel fun and exciting - It would be nice for the title to comment on the film, telling us that what the characters do is a choice, and they are making bad ones. To show that it's like a war movie, the destruction is senseless. - The title should work on two levels, applying (a) to the film as a fun dare game, and (b) to the twist of the film, as commentary about this dare game. Top titles and why I like them (in no order): - I Dared My Best Friend to Ruin My Life, He's Succeeding // This is the original title of the original story from Reddit. It's compelling, it sounds like clickbait which tells you it's a *new* type of movie, and it gets you to think. The challenge is it's too long. Nobody says the full thing so it gets abbreviated. - vs // This title is simple, shows the theme of antagonism, gets you thinking about the arbitrary construction of antagonism. It feels a little bit too action-movie, and maybe too short. - Minimum Required Effort // One of the lines is David telling Zander that the dare is to increase the minimum required effort, and the theme of Zander "leveling up", in a relatively fucked up way. - Definitely Real // This emphasizes the shifting nature of reality and what is real. I'm worried that it gives away that Zander is lying too much, and it feels too cerebral. - Ruin My Life // A shorter version of the title that's more concise and easier to write down - Dared My Best Friend // Similarly, more concise and easier to write down - The Choice // I love this title because it emphasizes that the characters' decisions are choices, saying that the film does not necessarily endorse them, and the message of the film is that it is in our hands whether we do terrible things or not. It reinforces the idea of agency and choice.
