Movies and Places

Another hobby mine it is watch movies, I think when we watch movies, we can travel
for another places, in future, in past, other side the world, we can learn diferent
cultures, behavior, we can lear a language, this is fantastic.

But I have one problem: I don´t have memory to remember what movies I watched and
actor names, maybe because I watch so many movies.

Now the question it is: what movies was recorded in your citie? which
places did you visit that were filmed movies? Did you put this information in your review?

In my city the movie Blindness - 2008 was filmed here in São Paulo, they mixed the places, I watch the movie
and I could recognize some places.

I read something about this serie was filmed here: SENSE8, but I am not a big fan series, I prefer
movies, so I don´t watched.

And we have national movies that was filmed in my city.

Producers usually choose the Rio de Janeiro to film movies, when they choose Brasil.

I’ve been to some places that have been filmed movies, I’ll talk one of them: P.S. I love you (2007),
this is in Irland Wicklow Mountains National Park, it is amazing place.

I’ve also been to where an episode of Game of Thrones.

I am creating a list in Google with places that movies was filmed, please comment, for sure
I forgot a lot of movies.

Hi @alexandradias Last Saturday I was watching a movie that was filmed in Sao Francisco!! Really cool I’m so happy to have the opportunity of been there for Connect Live with you. The movie is The Wedding Guest, is like a comedy but a little bit tragic too.

And I already visit the place where have been filmed the Brazilian short movie “Edgar and the Submerged Kingdom” Edgar e o Reino Submerso, it was Lages, Santa Catarina State, Brazil.

Hi @alexandradias ,

Thanks for sharing!

I completely agree with you, watching movies for me is a way to get away from reality for a little while, and find yourself some place else.

In Sofia we have a film studio widely used by American filmmakers and a number of big budget Hollywood movies have been filmed here.

If you are really lucky you can even spot some of the actors around town. Not too long ago I heard that some people met Gerard Butler walking around town, but I have not been that lucky myself unfortunately.

Hello @alexandradias I know this place Wicklow where you visited and where the movie, P.S. I love you was filmed. It is a beautiful unspoilt area. In the Summer time, when I was a child I went here for picnics with my mother, father, brothers and sisters, great memories. The author of the book the film is based on, Cecilia Ahern is from Dublin, and her father was one time prime minister of Ireland. Many films have been filmed in Ireland from 1950s Hollywood to modern day blockbusters, such as, STAR WARS, the force awakens and the last Jedi, filmed off the coast of Kerry Ireland on Skelig Michael Islands, Another big movie filmed here, HARRY POTTER and the half blood prince, this was filmed on, The Cliffs Of Mother, Kerry Ireland. Thanks @alexandradias for this interesting post. Glad you enjoyed your visit to Ireland :smiling_face:
