Abstract: Movie title is an integral part of the movie. An excellent title can play the role of embellishing the film, attracting audience and giving the audience the basic information of the movie. Therefore, movie title translation is not only a word-conversion but an artistic creation and a cross-culture communication. This paper is intended to go deep into many western movie title translations and summarize a few principles and then propose some feasible methods in movie title translation in the general sense, and then discuss particularly the intentional mistranslation due to different cultures and context, and the special role that the audience plays in the translation process.
Keywords: movie title translation, method, intentional mistranslation, audience reception, cross-culture communication
