"Names of characters can and should be used to establish what the story is about, theme, meaning, atmosphere, etc. Properly done, careful naming of characters in the movie will tell who's what kind of person, who's going to do what to whom and where, what the mood is, what the genre is, emphasize the irony, etc. This creates a dramatic skeleton of meaning, the dialogue and action providing the flesh."
