Sometimes a movie adaptation of a novel I’ve read is popular, and when people refer to the actions of the characters they would say the name of the actors instead. Recently it was with Dangerous Liaisons, and the imagery was somewhat strange.

    I don’t think it’s always the actors in name, it’s sometimes what they’re known for.

    Look at the recent adaptation of The Odyssey. It’s easy to remember that the name of the main character is Odysseus, it’s basically the title. But his wife? I’m sure it’s said a few times in the film but I don’t remember it, it’s Anne Hathaway. But they also have a son… Uh… Spider-Man.
