Why does it have to be Hemingway, why?

I know the movie has nothing to do with Ernest Hemingway but its distracting, now you might say, get over it or smth, but its as same as calling this movie Dom Shakespeare or Dom Mozart basically. Could have had any name.

I just cant ignore that. Why THAT name, could have had any name, but had to use a name of a famous writer. Its not like its a common surname like a Smith, Brown, Williams or Johnson.

he has quite a vocabulary, doesn't he?

I'd say his personality isn't too dissimilar from Ernest Hemingway's, so the name is probably deliberate. I'll admit, I thought it was strange before I saw the film, but once I saw it, it kind of made sense to me.

I think it's a fitting name in that Dom has a way with words, as does Earnest Hemgingway. Also, they both love the alcohol.
