Title

[edit]

I've always been curious about the English translation of the title. Mon Cœur S'est Arrêté means "My heart stopped (itself)", and can't really mean "skipped." The title which is such a clever pun in English, given the subject matter of the film, is actually rather nonsensical in French when you consider the title: "The beat, my heart stopped itself." Does anyone have a source handy on the choice of words in the English subtitles? - Sestet (talk) 18:32, 11 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Silly me didn't notice the clarification at the bottom. It's still not particularly satisfactory since I think the English title misses something from the French, but eh, it's not like I'm arguing this with the director. Please disregard. - Sestet (talk) 18:36, 11 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
"de battre mon cœur s'est arrêté" = "mon cœur s'est arrêté de batte" = "my heart stopped beating". —Preceding unsigned comment added by 92.193.76.157 (talk) 07:57, 3 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Controversy

[edit]

I've watched the film and I don't remember any instances of domestic sex being portrayed as rape. Jinnentonik 17:59, 6 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah same here. I'm thinking maybe the person who wrote that is thinking of a different film?WildlifeAnalysis 18:49, 14 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

>>Duris responded to these remarks at a press conference in Milan by threatening Van Sant with physical violence, claiming that he was going to "get a shotgun and murder Van Sant's dog." It looks like a stupid joke. Arronax · talk 02:52, 30 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Another Article with same Title?

[edit]

"The Beat That My Heart Skipped" is also an upcoming single by Dans Le Sac Vs Scroobius Pip. I have proof, from Zane Lowe's Tracklisting from his section of the BBC Radio1 website. Look three songs or so below 19:00:
