what am i doing wrong?

I am unsure as to what I am doing wrong here, im certain the code i have entered is correct yet i am getting an error. non-static method getTitle() cannot be referenced from a static context

MovieActivity.java
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.view.View;

public class MovieActivity extends Activity {


    @InjectView(R.id.movieTitle) TextView mTitleLabel;
    @InjectView(R.id.movieImage) ImageView mMovieImage;

    @Override
    public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_movie);
        ButterKnife.inject(this);

        // The rest of the code is omitted for brevity :)
    }

    public void updateDisplay(Movie movie) {
        // Add your code here!
      mTitleLabel.setText(Movie.getTitle());
    }
}
Movie.java
public class Movie {
    private String mTitle;
    private int mYearReleased;
    private int mImageId;

    public int getImageId() {
        return mImageId;
    }

    public void setImageId(int id) {
        mImageId = id;
    }

    public String getTitle() {
        return mTitle;
    }

    public void setTitle(String title) { 
        mTitle = title;
    }

    public int getYearReleased() {
        return mYearReleased;
    }

    public void setYearReleased(int year) {
        mYearReleased = year;
    }
}

try

public void updateDisplay(Movie movie) {
        // Add your code here!
      mTitleLabel.setText(movie.getTitle()); //lowercase m
    }

Upper case Movie is the class. lowercase movie is the variable.
