Moodboard #21 - Metanoia

The last item on the moodboard is the potential title - Metanoia. We were considering using this as the title, but we have now decided against it and are considering using a different title. The word metanoia is a Greek word literally meaning 'changing one's mind', however it has other different connotations as well. In theology, the word metanoia is interchangeable with the word 'repentance', which means turning away from your sins and starting a new life. This is relevant to the film in no way whatsoever, but I'm sure we could make it work. In psychology metanoia involves reforming one's psyche as a type of healing process and is a proposed explanation for the phenomenon of psychotic breakdown. This again has no relevance whatsoever. In philosophy metanoia is about rejecting consumerism and materialism as the basis of progress. This also has no relevance, so the title as a whole is completely irrelevant apart from the fact that it is a cool word. But in all fairness nowadays audience's don't care about what the title means, as long as it sounds exciting or intelligent. Half of the James Bond film titles take this stance, such as The Living Daylights, Tomorrow Never Dies, The World is not Enough and Quantum of Solace. Overall we've decided to ditch this title, as we don't want to have a completely irrelevant title that only stands up when in comparison with James Bond films.
