A standout for me came from the most improbable source: a B grade (at best) movie courtesy of master thespian Sylvester Stallone.<BR/><BR/>“Cliffhanger” was set in the U.S. Rocky Mountains. While the movie was awful, the scenery during the rockclimbing sequences was incredible. Literally incredible—as in, it became increasingly difficult to believe that the U.S. mountain range I had seen many times in person could be so dramatic on the screen.<BR/><BR/>Wanting to know exactly where in the state of Colorado I could go to visit those breathtaking peaks highlighted in the movie, I stuck around for the credits. When the film crew names appeared, with one Italian after another rolling by, I knew something was up. <BR/><BR/>Following a little sleuthing, I later learned of the Dolomites, and resolved to visit them someday. Eventually I did, and they were even more spectacular in person. I suppose one could argue that the movie might have presented the same beautiful imagery while avoiding deception by simply basing the story in Italy. That would have entailed listening to Sylvester Stallone speak Italian for two hours; I’ll take deception, please!Irenahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02704447959703087814noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8560683019992994287.post-71830518057232316092008-05-19T13:12:00.000-07:002008-05-19T13:12:00.000-07:00Apart from The Third Man another film that prompte...Apart from The Third Man another film that prompted me to visit Vienna recently was The Illusionist. The story about a stage magician at the turn of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries was set in Vienna and played a definite part in me finally organising a trip to the city. It wasn’t until I got there that I found out the film wasn’t actually made in Vienna at all but in the Czech Republic. I was disappointed to learn this, though my main influence was The Third Man so my disappointment was short lived. Still, this is an interesting issue I hadn’t considered before and if I am interested to visit a place again because of a film I will definitely research it carefully before hand.fleminghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17179932658238589193noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8560683019992994287.post-24399483377883738362008-05-18T09:17:00.000-07:002008-05-18T09:17:00.000-07:00i havn't given it a second thought ......movies ar...i havn't given it a second thought ......movies are pure escapism ....they are as authentic as the budget allowsshagpile3https://www.blogger.com/profile/00311348101688366358noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8560683019992994287.post-27763646592628224832008-05-15T09:42:00.000-07:002008-05-15T09:42:00.000-07:00Richard...not really bothered, has been very profi...Richard...not really bothered, has been very profitable for U K film studios to biuld sets at Shepperton near London, convenient for actors and film crew.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18268727773727518531noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8560683019992994287.post-65615910545888218862008-05-03T04:46:00.000-07:002008-05-03T04:46:00.000-07:00Hi,first of all congratulations for your blog!I'm ...Hi,<BR/>first of all congratulations for your blog!<BR/>I'm an italian free-lance journalist, specialist in marketing, communication, public relations and fund raising.<BR/>I attend to Movie Tourism with my cultural association "Salotto Letterario - Gli Atomi".<BR/>I took part in international conferences like London, Leeds, Ischia, Malaga, Hong Kong, etc. <BR/>I organize MovieTours, Conferences, Meetings, Exhibitions and Showings.<BR/>Maybe we can cooperate!<BR/>Waiting for your answer...<BR/><BR/>www.ciociariaincelluloide.org<BR/>www.myspace.com/gli_atomi<BR/><BR/><BR/>Bye bye<BR/><BR/>VaniaCybervaniahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08105442499682958126noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8560683019992994287.post-50414668632322193332008-04-18T04:47:00.000-07:002008-04-18T04:47:00.000-07:00Very disappointed would be my answer!

If it is different I would be very torn as to where to go. I feel I would probably have a strong desire to visit both. I like to visit what I have actually seen, to me thats authentic. However if the story or characters have influenced me then I like to visit places connected to them as well. Ideally it's better if this doesn't happen though!MKirkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15776974540454469737noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8560683019992994287.post-49922171678122467502008-04-10T07:37:00.000-07:002008-04-10T07:37:00.000-07:00I haven't encountered this as far as I can remembe...I haven't encountered this as far as I can remember.

I l...Let me try this again, without all the typos. <BR/><BR/>I lived in Scotland for 6.5 years. I recently saw the "Waterhorse". The story is set in Scotland, supposedly about the Loch Ness monster. The filmography was all off. They used New Zealand and Scotland. They used Loch Fyne, no where near Loch Ness or that region. They super imposed Urqhuart Castle over pictures. Talk about cheap. Loch Ness does not eempty out directly to the sea but via the River Ness, past Inverness into the Moray Firth. And the mountains are not that high, Ben Nevis is the highest point in Britain at 4,406ft. <BR/><BR/>I thought that one of the shots were of the Five Sisters of Kintail and Loch Duich but now that I think about it, that must have been New Zealand. <BR/><BR/>How can you write a story, film a story without ever experiencing a country? I read a blog the other day about a romance writer that had written about Scotland for so many years and had never visited the country until recently. If we process information visually, even using our five senses, how can you write about something you've never experienced? I don't understand that. I'm sure it was one of her books I had picked up to read, found a discrepancy and put it back. Why do we have to save the almighty dollar or why do they have to film it in another country? I mean Scotland is visually dramatic. It is sad that directors and location personnel have to go to another country to get their story across. <BR/><BR/>I think they do a disservice to the audience as well as the country they are telling a story about.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8560683019992994287.post-72561240102939387162008-02-21T09:45:00.000-08:002008-02-21T09:45:00.000-08:00This comment has been removed by the author.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8560683019992994287.post-31662062422751684792008-02-21T09:43:00.000-08:002008-02-21T09:43:00.000-08:00This comment has been removed by the author.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8560683019992994287.post-21819803463378061782008-01-22T13:04:00.000-08:002008-01-22T13:04:00.000-08:00It doesnt really make any diffference to me as i d...It doesnt really make any diffference to me as i don't normally know where films are shot so i wouldnt base where i go on vaction on that fact.jennahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02017808959138543908noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8560683019992994287.post-58367328573587210202008-01-16T08:32:00.000-08:002008-01-16T08:32:00.000-08:00I would say, there are those who want to see where...I would say, there are those who want to see where it was actually filmed, a 'purist movie tourist', and those who want to see the location where the film was depicting, a 'pure tourist' sold by the virtual film travel brochure. Of course, there are those who want to see both! <BR/><BR/>For me, I fall into the latter category of both! On a visit to Sri Lanka, I visited the site where Bridge on the River Kwai was actually filmed. This was not planned prior to the holiday but became an interesting detour when there. Of course, the film and the historical events it portrays are in Thailand. However, standing on the side of the river in Sri Lanka conjured up both images of the movie itself as well thoughts of the film actors, extras and crew once swarming around the place where I was standing. Visiting the actual film-set gave the film a certain tangibility that I could directly relate to, which was reinforced when I watched the film again on my return home. I am also keen to go the setting of the real Bridge over the Kwai in Thailand one day too. However, I do think that had the film been shot actually on location at the original setting in Thailand this would add a greater resonance and obvious authenticity both to the film and to the experience of a visit there.FionaDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05934961575043935545noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8560683019992994287.post-974205161086286122007-12-06T16:23:00.000-08:002007-12-06T16:23:00.000-08:00Thats a concept I don't understand, why say its fi...Thats a concept I don't understand, why say its filmed in one particular country & then go & film it in a completely different location..?

There is a braveheart trail in Scotland which does not reflect scenes from the film in any way. I found that this spolit the film for me a little and did not connect me to the place. In contrast, the film Highlander was filmed in Scotland surrounding the exact locations that were written into the story. I visited the castle where it was filmed and another place called Glenfinnan. In my opinion this made both the film and location much more memorable and realistic to me.Heather Jacksonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08207185437379887389noreply@blogger.com
