Movie scenes: live through them in the first person!

How many times have you seen a movie and have remained with desire of visiting the place of the shooting? How many times have you thought “I hope it should go …”? Well, we offer you next a local selection more important and memorable than three completely different movies and in completely different destinations: Paris, Tokyo and the Greek Islands. We hope to cheer you to visit up and live yourselves through the movie scenes that Amélie, Lost in Translation and Mamma Mia! they teach us.

Amélie, Paris from a different point of view

Amélie's movie, directed by Jean-Pierre Jeunet, shows the city of Paris from a romantic, Bohemian and sweet point of view. The majority of scenes is rolled in the Montmartre quarter and there are the most emblematic places of the movie. Although it is true that Montmartre is the excellent Bohemian Parisian quarter, the director offers us a more romantic and delicate perspective, if it is possible to say to him this way, a little removed from the reality. Fortunately, there are many cheap hotels in Montmartre who will allow us to live in Amélie's own world.

Au Marché of the Butte
In this fruit store, probably the most famous of the city thanks to Amélie, the protagonist (interpreted by Audrey Tautou) speaks with Monsieur Colignon. Placed in the nº 56 of the rue of Trois Frères, still today preserves a badge used in the movie that he says “Maison Colignon, should drop anchor 1956”. Monsieur Colignon does not exist in the reality, but insurance that if you buy anything of fruit the proprietor will be more than been delighted of having a small chat with you.

Coffee give Deux Moulins
This small coffee that seems to have been invented for the movie exists really. The delight of the place perhaps was something exaggerated for the movie, but his extract and his character can still be seen today here, the place of work of Amélie in the movie. There is placed in the nº 15 of the rue Lepic and it is almost obligatory to try I cremated it brûlée.

Palace Video
In the nº 37 of Boulevard de Clichy finds the shop of pornography where there works Child (Mathieu Kassovitz), the masculine protagonist of the movie. It is placed in the quarter of Pigalle, where it is still possible to see the Moulin Rouge.

Métro Lamarck-Caulaincourt
The double staircase of this metro station is the stage where Amélie describes the market full of color, to a blind man. You will be able to find in the Line 12, of dark green color.

Pont give Arts
In this bridge (that appears in other movies like The Case Bourne), placed along with the Louvre, Amélie feels invaded by the love and the desire to help the humanity. A walk along this area really is worth it. Also, since the museum is very close, you can be useful and visit it. After all, the Louvre is also a stage of a movie, of The Code Vinci Gives in this case.

Lost in Translation, Tokyo of the hand of Coppola

This curious movie directed by Sofia Coppola moves us to a city not known by many of us and with an exotic touch and, because not to say it, something eccentric: Tokyo. The majority of the scenes is rolled between the lights, the noise and the bustle of the quarters of Shinjuku and Shibuya.

Park Hyatt Tokyo
This biggest hotel de luxe is where the protagonists of the movie, Bob (Bill Murray) and Charlotte (Scarlett Johansson), know each other. This fascinating hotel is of the most expensive of the city and the most economic rooms have prices from 420€, while the most luxurious can go so far as to cost more than 1.000€ in night. We already know that to see this hotel can be a good experience, but it is more than discarded for the accommodation. Fortunately there are many cheap hotels in Tokyo where you will find rooms from only 12€ in night.

New York Bar
Placed in the loft of the hotel Park Hyatt, this bar is one of the places where Bob spends more time. As in the hotel, the prices are raised exaggeratedly and a simple consumption might finish with the budget of the whole day. A beer bottle, the simplest drink for that it is possible to ask, costs a few 8€. Also, generally from 19:00 the service supposes an additional charge of a few 16€. Let's say that the experience turns out to be a little expensive …: truth? Of course, the conference perform the most spectacular thing.

Karaoke - Khan
It is a question of a chain of places of very popular karaoke in the city. The place placed in Shibuya is the chosen one by Charlotte to take Bill. For the movie 601 and 602 placed in the sixth plant used specifically the rooms. Do you cheer up to sing? Do not worry! The letters not only appear in Japanese. So if you love escaquear you will need another excuse …

Zen Shabu
Zen Shabu is a chain of restaurants shabu-shabu with multiple places in Tokyo, but the restaurant that appears in the movie, where Bill takes Charlotte, is placed in the low plant of Shibuya Creston Hotel. This restaurant is perfect to discover the authentic local gastronomy.

Temple Jugan-Ji
To try to find some peace you can visit the Temple Jugan-Ji. Although it is possible that it does not thrill you so much how to spill tears, as it happens to Charlotte in the movie, the temple will give you the sensation of being in a more ancient Tokyo, far from the pother and the bustle of the surroundings. His situation, in full city, is probably the most special of the temple.

My Mamma!, a paradise in the Greek Islands

This musical movie, based on the songs of the famous group ABBA and directed by Phyllida Lloyd, is placed in a fictitious island called Kalokairi, located in the reality in the islands Espóradas (basically Skópelos and Scíathos), in Greece.

Skópelos, church of San Nicolás
To the northwest of the Aegean Sea, in the island of Skópelos and with a view to the church of San Nicolás, it is where Sophie (Amanda Seyfried) orders the invitations of his wedding. The scenery is truly spectacular, so if you have occasion to go you should not get lost it. The scene goes accompanied by the song I Have to Dream.

Ancient port of Scíathos
The ancient Scíathos port is an idyllic place opposite to crystalline waters, an authentic paradise. In the port they can turn small crafts and it is the starting point of the ferries that speak to Skópelos. That's why Sam (Pierce Brosnan) and Harry (Colin Firth) come up to this point, in a completely identical taxi.

Beach of Glysteri
In the covered pines cliffs, along with the Glysteri beach, on the coast west of the island of Skópelos, Sophie there reads the newspaper to his two best friends to the rhythm of the song Honey, Honey. It looks like a slightly hidden, but sure corner that would be ideal for a romantic moment with your couple …

Beach of Kastani
Another scene rolled in the beach, and this time in the sand, is when Sophie and Sky (Dominic Cooper) are chatting peacefully and suddenly his friends appear to take it to his bachelor's farewell. To see the beach to the rhythm of Lay All Your Love on Me is already nice: but do you imagine to be able to be there really?

Chapel of Agios Ioannis Prodromos
Perhaps one of the most incredible places that appears in the movie is the chapel of Agios Ioannis Prodromos, close to the Glossa people in the island of Skópelos. Although it is true that the scenes rolled inside are not in the proper chapel but the studies Pinewood, the air conference that offer us in the movie of this small chapel at the height of hundreds of steps have no price.

Would you like living through the scenes of some another movie? Do you believe that it is a good idea that some movies base on fictitious places? To share your opinion you have only to leave a comment.
