Who has not felt like on more than one occasion, reading a book or watching a movie, to travel through those places that are narrated in books or seen in the movie scenes? Everyone, right? I've heard a yes out there! So I'm glad I'm not the only one… Jokes aside, we're going to review 10 films that make you want to travel this time, leaving the trips along certain literary routes for another time, do you think?
Out of Africa
In the cast: Robert Redford and the veteran Meryl Streep; as scenes the kenyan landscapes, the sunsets with a yellow background and a love story in between ...
We do not know if it was its soundtrack, or the environment of the African savannah that is often seen in the film, but who has not felt the urge to travel to the heart of nature when watching it? A classic among classics!
The beach
As the protagonist, the still «not awarded with an Oscar» (poor thing) Leonardo Di Caprio… I know a couple of people who after seeing this movie went backpackers to visit the beautiful thailand beaches! 100% true. According to them, it was not what was expected (oh, those expectations!), But it was a very complete and instructive experience.
As we learned later, during the filming of this film, the specific beach where it was filmed, Phi Phi Leh, it was somewhat touched ...
Manhattan
This film directed by and starring Woody Allen, takes us to one of the magical cities of the USA, New York.
Manhattan is an island located at the mouth of the Hudson River in the north of the Port of New York and is also one of the five metropolitan districts that make up the city. Perhaps because of the bohemian halo that W. Allen gave to this film, perhaps because of its black and white images, perhaps that bridge so characteristic of American films (the queensboro bridge) ... We don't know what, but since then, from the first moment I saw that movie, that place caught my attention ...
Amelie
If there is a movie that I could talk about and write about even a thesis, that is Amelie… Maybe I have seen it, how many? 5, 6 times, at least. And in large part it is because of the city in which it takes place, the beautiful Paris, the city par excellence of love. I don't think there is a person who is in love with Amelie's story, who doesn't feel like visiting the tourist Cafe des Deux Moulins and Canal Saint-Martin.
Who signs up to walk around Montmartre with background music by Yann Tiersen?
Eat Pray Love
Hand in hand, the great Julia Roberts and Spanish Javier Bardem, star in this film based on the book written by Elizabeth Gilbert. These two are hitting a whole tourist route that I would like to contemplate with my myopic eyes ... And the route consists of cities as emblematic as Rome, Naples, Pataudi (India) and Bali (Indionesia). What lover of travel can not dream of stepping on those places?
So anyone overcomes existential crises, for a whole year of travel goes, travel comes ...
Motorcycle Diaries
This is one of my favorites. In this movie, the young man posing as the Che Guevara, Gael García Bernal, travels the countries of Argentina, Chile and Peru.
A motorcycle trip, which represents an existential change both for the Argentine guerrilla fighter and for his companion Alberto Granados.
Hangover
If you want a different trip, where the colors of the lights dazzle you, this is undoubtedly a trip to Las Vegas, and by the way if you go with your partner, get married there with Elvis Presley and Marilyn Monroe costumes.
In 'The Hangover' you travel for a single party and there you can meet falling stars, tigers, strippersWeird people to say the least and monumental hangovers ... Do you like the idea or do you prefer something quieter? Well, keep reading!
Under the Tuscan Sun
Landscapes full of cypress trees, popular festivals, a quiet place where just entering makes you want to stay. Since I saw this movie in 2004, it made me want to travel to the beautiful Tuscany and I have not done it yet,… But it will come, everything will come!
Mamma Mia!
This great movie starring Meryl Streep is full of choreography between rocks, beaches and stairs on the islands of Skopelos and Skiathos, in Greece ...
Thelma and Louise
We do not know if it is the adrenaline of the escape of these «two crazy heroines», the soundtrack or the final scene of the Grand Canyon of the Colorado that this road trip captivated more than one of us and we saw it.
Those straight American roads that have no end, those gas stations as lonely as the streets of a soccer Sunday between a Madrid-Barça ...
Which one do you prefer from these movies? Which trip of all seen would you take first?
