<P> As the plot is now written, it presents the film from the viewers viewpoint rather than telling the facts in the film as they really are (i.e., most importantly, the mother didn't die, which viewers only discover well into the film). Is this the preferred method on Wik? Kdammers (talk) 15: 11, 17 December 2015 (UTC) </P> <P> About the pronunciation, in Spanish, specially the one spoken in Spain, the v sound is pronounced just like in english, and there is a difference between "v" and "b" the former being pronounced utilizing your teeth and lips and the latter only using your lips . It is a mistake to teach people to not pronounce it the proper way, since you are spreading slang . Volver is pronounced "voal - vair" assuming the reader speaks english . I think simply "Return" is a better translation of the title than we have at the moment ("To return"). The solitary word "volver" conjures up a image of the essence of returning, not merely some narrow infinite - verb meaning . Almodovar would have chosen a title like "para volver" if he had wanted to convey the latter . I'll get bold and change it . - Draeco 22: 56, 25 January 2007 (UTC) </P> <Dl> <Dd> The title is taken from the tango mentioned in the article, which Penelope Cruz sings during the film . In the context of the song's lyrics, "volver" should be translated as either "to return" or "returning" (IIRC, the English subtitles used the latter). At any rate, "To Return" is the translation used in the main Almodóvar article; so one or the other should be changed to make it consistent . 70.245. 252.71 05: 10, 31 January 2007 (UTC) <Dl> <Dd> Before reading this discussion I changed it back to "to return", simply because "volver" is not a noun but a verb, no matter what connotations it may have (which, I may add, seems a little personal). "Return" would be, in spanish, "Regreso", like in "regreso a los orígenes" ("return to the origins"). </Dd> <Dd> By the way, the phrase "para volver" is not what he would have chosen if he wanted to convey a narrow infinite - verb meaning . He would have chosen...guess what: "volver", which is the infinite - verb expression...Also, the image the title mostly may convey in spanish is that of the song, which is a very famous tango by Carlos Gardel .
