It is very common that the American movies and series titles are modified depending on the country or region in which they are viewed. Sometimes, this happens simply because of the translation of the name.
But on more than one occasion, the change is more complex, since it is due more than anything to the different idea or meaning according to the culture of each region.
Despite all this, there are often some titles that come up that are far from representing what the film is about. In this context, an influencer showed some examples of what happens with certain titles depending on the country in which they are viewed, and how far they are from their original name.

The first one he refers to is The Pacifier. “In Latin America, they called her 'Bulletproof Nanny', and in Spain, 'Super Tough Kangaroo',” the influencer begins by saying.
“This is a very good one,” he continues: it is called ‘Eternal sunshine of the spotless mind’. In Latin America they did not take any chances and gave it the literal title: ‘Eternal sunshine of a mind without memories’. And in Spain, ‘Forget me’. I think someone came and said ‘Eternal sunshine of a mind…’ and he said ‘Forget me’, and the name stuck.”
Third, compare Home Alone"To counteract this, in Spain they gave it the literal name, 'Home Alone,' and in Latin America, 'My Poor Angelito,'" he says.
“Lastly: 'Airplane'. This one is very good. In Latin America they put 'Where is the pilot?'. And in Spain: 'Aterriza como puedes3',” he concludes.
Trick to access the full catalog of series and movies
The services of “streaming" as Netflix, Amazon Prime and HBO Max have restrictions on their catalogs depending on the countries where users are located. Due to the companies' agreements, a series or movie that is available in the United States may not be available in Argentina and vice versa.
But if you use one virtual private network (VPN), these obstacles can be bypassed. For example, when you travel abroad you can use this trick. If you open Netflix, for example, in another country, you will notice that the catalog is different from the one you have in Argentina.
Using a VPN allows you to cheat these services, so deliberately change the country from which we connect, whether we are physically somewhere else or not. VPNs are used in many areas for privacy reasons: not everyone wants a record of the country from which they connect to the Internet.
A second point has to do with the computer security: By privatizing networks that can be public, they are considered safer for sensitive transactions, but also for general browsing.
The different uses of the VPN also led to a form of bypass impediments that large companies' contracts generate. All of these companies warn that this is a violation of their terms and conditions, and that this may result in the termination of an account.
Changing a region with a private network is very simple. The first thing you need to do is download one. Some of the most popular ones are NordVPN, Proton, Windscribe, Fortinet, ExpressVPN, CyberGhost.
Once installed, registering in the system is enough to receive the different connection options. Depending on the one installed, there will be different options. personalization, but that is the responsibility of each user.
Almost all free versions have limits on the number of megabytes consumed every certain time or on the speed. This complicates the equation for the streaming video because it consumes a lot of Internet data.

ExpressVPN allows you to connect not only from your PC but also from televisions with Apple TV, Amazon Fire TV or Roku. Being compatible with Windows, macOS, Linux, iOS and Android, it can work on any device such as a Chromecast. NordVPN also allows this, but it is always a good idea to check on their websites.
