Movies That Will Make You Travel Virtually During Lockdown

Movies that will make you travel virtually during lockdown

Traveling has always been the perfect way to get out of the routine, to escape difficult situations or, quite simply, to discover the world beyond our borders and connect with ourselves. However, today we must be responsible and respect #StayAtHome and #TakeCare for the good of all. Because only then can we do what we love most: traveling the world together. So even if we can't travel today, we can dream: #DreamNowTravelLater. Dream of our wish list trips that we will go when we are finally safe and able to travel again. So, to make this quarantine more enjoyable and because it is now time to travel virtually from the couch, here are some films and series that will help you travel virtually or make you dream where to go next:

Paris can wait

Anne finds herself at the crossroads of her life. Married to a successful film producer, she finds herself one day on an unexpected car trip from Cannes to Paris with a business partner of her husband. What should be a seven hour journey turns into a fun two day adventure full of scenic spots, good food and better wine, lots of humor, wisdom and romance, awakening Anne and him giving new wishes.

The trip to Italy

You can watch this series of films which will teleport you to luxury places, restaurants, wines and fascinating hotels. In this case, you will be involved in a comedy where its characters work for modern day gastronomic travel guides. The whole film is full of optimism and joy, so much so that in the end, it makes you want to go to Italy and drink and eat everything.

Murder in the Orient Express

This film based on the novel by Agatha Christie takes us to great places that the writer herself knew, such as Iraq or Syria.

Anyway, the book Murder on the Orient Express and by extension the most traveling film is Murder on the Orient Express. And I say "despite everything" because it hardly shows the places to travel because everything happens on the train itself, but is there something that makes you think more of travel than a long train line distance?

Outside Africa: Some films over the years are reduced to an image or a scene and the rest does not matter in the collective imagination. This is the case of the film Memories of Africa. The scenes of the plane, the unforgettable music and the landscapes of Kenya captured wonderfully by the director of photography.

Eat Pray Love: Of course, this hit that takes us on a trip around the world is a great option to spend these days when we only have to stay at home. Places like Italy, India or Bali can be seen in this film.

Little miss sunshine

This dramatic comedy is a road movie capable of making the most travelers dream. Because... who has never wanted to get behind the wheel of a yellow Volkswagen Kombi and travel the American roads of California and Arizona? This film depicts the daily life of a dysfunctional family traveling in a dilapidated van so that their daughter Olive can participate in a beauty contest. Irony, criticism and diversity will be the protagonists of what will become the adventure of their lives.

Magic andes: A wonderful documentary that shows all the destinations around the Andes. With a magnificent photograph, this documentary will make you fall in love with all of South America.

Midnight in Paris

This may be Woody Allen's homage to Paris, but what begins as a collection of postcards ends at midnight as a declaration of love for life, strolling in the rain and the possibility that we will continue to think that we can change the course of our lives through films like hers.

Wild

The main character in this film, a wild soul, plans to cross the states of California and Oregon from south to north for more than 1,600 kilometers. This route is known as the Pacific Crest Trail and becomes Cheryl Strayed's last hope to guide her life. Steep landscapes, deserts, forests, rivers and mountains will be the backdrop for this American film that will make us dream of crossing them. Soon.

The tourist

Venice, Angelina Jolie and a guy who is her boyfriend but who is never there. In the middle of the equation, gangsters appear, Scotland Yard and a mathematician who travels as a tourist and who will become a victim of circumstances. The plot unfolds, but the spectator anticipates. Like Angelina, The Tourist shows her calf, then turns out to be modest.

Lost in translation

Located in the city of Tokyo, this dramatic comedy will take us on a journey through the streets of the Japanese city, discover frenetic places like the Akihabara district, the artificial island of Odaiba or even encourage us to live the experience of " Japanese karaoke. The scenes of Tokyo will become the refuge of the two lost souls of the protagonists and, why not, ours in these quarantine days. Play and enjoy the film that strengthened Sofía Coppola's career and won the Oscar for best original screenplay.

Vicky, Cristina, Barcelona

Perfectly identifiable with Woody Allen and the obsessions that have always characterized his cinema: desirable women, dialogues steeped in irony, mischief of Allen and a project which, according to some, could become a magnificent order to sell the brand of Barcelona and Spain.
