In Only Lovers Left Alive, Adam has a wall of pictures of famous people.
They appear to be authors, composers, and scientists.
Who are they?

@Catija Jarmusch wrote and directed the film, and as seen from the page linked in the answer, many of the subjects of the photos are connected to Jarmusch in some other way as well. Since he selected the people to show on the "wall of heroes", isn't this question implicitly about him?– Kyle StrandCommented Feb 3, 2017 at 0:10

1That is not how tagging works here. How could the question "implicitly be about him" if you never mention him in the question? Regardless, your question is about the film, not about the director. We tag things based on the question, what the answer reveals is irrelevant.– CatijaCommented Feb 3, 2017 at 0:51

@Catija Fair enough. To be honest I am somewhat confused as to how tagging is supposed to work on this SE. On SO, the idea seems to be that if a tag is relevant to a question, it's good to use the tag so that followers of that tag would see the question. If that were the case here, it seems you'd want people interested in Jarmusch to see this question. But the tags that exist seem so disparate (one for every movie??) that I don't really understand the value of tags here.– Kyle StrandCommented Feb 3, 2017 at 1:15
