Travelling the World Through Movies

As the weather cools, people tend to migrate inside. Everyone stays inside their homes, eating, watching TV, doing housework, and spending time with people inside their homes. Barely any activity goes on in the outside world, it is all concentrated in an individual’s home. This is totally understandable, because it gets extremely cold and eventually it snows. At times like these, everyone just wants to cuddle under some blankets, drink hot cocoa, sit next to the fireplace, and watch movies all night.

Don’t let that stop you from exploring the world. You have a TV and an option to watch whatever movie you like. For travel lovers and for explorers you can choose a movie about travelling. This not only allows you to stay inside, all comfy and wrapped up in blankets while watching movies, but to explore the world. It is a perfect combination.

Cartoon movies are perfect for any occasion. Not just regular cartoon movies, but Disney movies are always the best. One of the most perfect travel movies to watch is the one and only Up. The heartwarming story of the friendship between an old man, a young boy scout, a dog that screams “squirrel,” and a weird bird, is a must watch. Not only is the story touching, but it also deals with travelling. The four friends go on a unique trip; were they all wanted, maybe not, but in the end it became a memorable trip. Though it is aimed towards children, everyone should watch this movie. It teaches a great life lesson and even though it is a cartoon, it allows you to travel to a magnificent place.

For those who would like a sweet tale about a traveler, you should watch Lost in Translation. This movie starring big stars, like Bill Murray and Scarlett Johansson, is a touching tale about a movie star and a young wife who are both in a foreign land, Tokyo, and create a special bond. Another heartwarming tale is The Bucket List. Who doesn’t love a movie with Morgan Freeman? This movie is about two men who have cancer, and road trip around the world. Not only does this take you to a lot of different places, but it is one sweet plot. Into The Wild is another story about life as a traveler. These movies all provide you with insight with what it is like to go around the world and experience life. It’s a great way to escape and relax.

For a travel adventure, The Beach is a great choice. A movie directed by Danny Boyle takes you to Thailand. A man comes across a strange map which leads him to a, well I don’t want to give the ending way, even though the title does.

Lastly, the movies everyone loves to watch, the cheesy clichés; watch Eat, Pray, Love. The movie starring Julia Roberts, Javier Bardem, and James Franco, is about a recent divorcee who travels the world. Perfect for all the romantic, cliché movie lovers who love to travel.
