Today we are going to analyze the name of some films. But how? We will talk about the meaning and usage of words and structures in the names of the films. Let's start!
Some Like It Hot
In this structure, "some" references "some people". People is hidden inside. When we speak of a certain person or something in English, we discard the word itself and make words (adjectives) such as "all, some" a subject.
Saving Prite Ryan
This is a fairly simple "GERUND" structure, and the gerund is an - -ing form used as a noun. Here the gerund was used as a subject.
To Kill a Mockingbird
Here is an analogue of the above structure: Infinitive!
In fact, the infinitive is divided into "with to" and "without to", but we will refer to this in detail later. Now, let's just focus on the name of the film.
To infinitive form has been used as a subject in this structure, but because it is not commonly used, it is generally preferred to use "it" instead and the to-infinitive sentence is indicated at the end of the sentence. In the subject position, an infinitive clause is usually followed by some form of "be" or a static verb.
