Tokyo, A Exotic Locale For These 5 Famous Hollywood Movies
Hollywood searches for new and exciting ways to pull in the audience for their movie experience. Tokyo remains one of the most popular locations due to its exotic appeal and will allow the viewer to jump head first into the unknown. While filming in Tokyo the movie producer is allowed to engulf the audience into the unimaginable. This location remains still immersed in old world styling while still offering parts that will speed the production into a world far into the future.
Movies are an escape; they take the viewers into a world they would not otherwise experience. For example, Tokyo is an exotic, glamorous location and allows those who will never have the chance to visit to see what they otherwise never could. By escaping into the imagination of the filmmakers, the average person can travel to worlds beyond his or her own experience.
While these most famous 5 Hollywood films are actually shot in Tokyo, there are other movies, which were not shot in Japan but portray Japan in all its wonders:
Letters from Iwo Jima
In the movie, Director and Producer Clint Eastwood sets up the battle field in such a way that it looks like you are actually viewing the war according to the Japanese soldiers. Tokyo’s nostalgic location was transformed in such a way that it resembled Japan in those days.
The Last Samurai
Next on the schedule is another war movie, which starred Tom Cruise. Identical to Letters from Iwo Jima only in the feature that Tokyo was converted into a world of the past. This film narrates the story of a troubled American soldier while he searches inner peace living at a remote Japanese village.
Kill Bill
This movie was broken down into two separate films and shooting of larger portions of both the films have been made in beautiful and charming locations. While watching, the viewer can feel that the movie Kill Bill is quite successful to set the original Japanese epic characters into present day global perspective.
The Grudge
Japan is one of the best locations for horror films because it takes the audience into one of the scariest journeys into the unknown quality that exudes from the atmosphere. The original Japanese movie “The Grudge”, with the help of the director of the original Japanese movie and filmed in Tokyo, still remains to be one of the scariest movies ever watched.
Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift
Truly one of the most famous of movies filmed in Tokyo and also the least famous movie in the Fast and Furious franchise. This movie stands top in action with a superb story of a young American man becoming part of illegal street racing in Tokyo.
Tokyo is definitely the best choice of exotic location to shoot a film.
