Pros

  • i do think no other choice, again, while not a perfect translation, at least carries the meaning of feeling like there’s no other option in the situation. and for me as a korean learner, i have a much easier time remembering this english...
  • it's close enough and good enough translation. with titles, you have enve less room for accurate translation since it can't be too wordy, too complicated, etc. it has to roll off the tongue. it has to be catchy, etc.
  • So "No Other Choice" may not be the closest phrase to 어쩔 수가 없다, but I'd say it still conveys the same idea clearly.
  • This film was fantastic. Some absolutely hysterical scenes that had the majority of the crowd laughing and also had some insane editing that I haven’t ever really seen before.
  • I'm absolutely down for this. Sounds like a wild ride in the hands of Park Chan-Wook and Lee Byung-hun (Front Man from Squid Game!) in the lead

Cons

  • Parent context: Not true. “What Can You Do?” would be both more literal and more memorable. “No Other Choice” is simultaneously inaccurate and generic. The English title doesn’t convey the tone (resignation) or genre (black comedy) of th...

  • Parent context: Except if you watched the movie, it glorifies people in higher positions. The movie is all about how the middle classes eat each other to pursue higher ceilings. If anything, the CEOs who watch this movie would clap at th...

What redditors said (10 of 10)

Parent context: Not true. “What Can You Do?” would be both more literal and more memorable. “No Other Choice” is simultaneously inaccurate and generic. The English title doesn’t convey the tone (resignation) or genre (black comedy) of the film like “What Can You Do?” would. If anything, “No Other Choice” is reminiscent of an American action movie. Reply: i really have to disagree with you there. i don’t think that it would be a good choice for an english title to be promoted in america. a lot of people- and i’m not saying this is in any way correct, but we have a literacy issue in america- would take that as a *literal* question, not a rhetorical one.

If anything, the CEOs who watch this movie would clap at the end. Reply: you might be the only person who thinks this movie is pro capitalism
