Do you believe Skrej's suggestion is a possibility? And, apart from your "The Donald" contribution, I don't see your opinion posted here. What is it?

You seem to have gone out of your way to purposely misinterpret and misrepresent Skrej's post. I agree with Skrej that there may possibly have been more than one reason for the decision to use the definite article in the title of the movie. Since I haven't asked the author about the reason(s), however, I can't possibly know for sure. And neither can you.

Maybe if you gave us a few examples of what you think the decision was based on...
