By Qianyue Yang<\/em><\/p>\n

New York City is a paradise for movie lovers. Every street could be a scene in a well-known movie. But they may not be really filmed in New York though the story is in New York.<\/p>\n

Many great directors including Woody Allen, Ang Lee and Alfred Hitchcock have chosen this city for their movies. As a result, many tourists come to see the \u201cnew landmarks\u201d where the movies were filmed.<\/p>\n

East Village and Greenwich Village<\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\u201cEyes Wide Shut\u201d, \u201cTaxi Driver\u201d, \u201cRear Window\u201d and many other movies took place in the East Village, Greenwich Village and the Lower East Side of Manhattan.<\/p>\n

According to Vivian. L, a 16-year-old British girl who just came to New York, \u201cBegin Again\u201d did entice her to see New York.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m satisfied with Washington Square. The street performers in there are exactly same with the movie\u2019s scene!\u201d Vivian said.<\/p>\n

For Tony Z. who is in college in Philadelphia, it seems that New York hides so many crimes and pains after he watched the famous Robert De Niro and Jodie Foster movie \u201cTaxi Driver\u201d. When walking along the street, he can still feel the loneliness and melancholy of the night. And the movie reflected this reality, Tony said.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

“Taxi Driver”<\/span><\/p>\n

Wall Street<\/h3>\n

As the financial core of New York, this district has contributed a lot in movies such as \u201cWall Street\u201d, \u201cCatch Me If You Can\u201d, \u201cGhostbusters(1984)\u201d and \u201cThe French Connection\u201d.<\/p>\n

Seventeen-year-old Alan Y. from China liked \u201cThe Wolf of Wall Street\u201d among all New York -based movies.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

“The Wolf of Wall Street”<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201c I\u2019m curious about how the Wall Street bankers work after watching it. I\u2019d really want to solve this puzzle. So I\u2019m here. Wall Street is exactly the same in my imagination\u2014speedy and busy,\u201d he said<\/p>\n

Fifth Avenue<\/h3>\n

\u201cBreakfast of Tiffany\u2019s\u201d has been discussed a lot when talking about Fifth Avenue. It molds a luxurious, vain but also innocent girl in NewYork.\"\"<\/p>\n

As a local New Yorker, Kylie Collins can relate.<\/p>\n

\u201cI have met these girls so often. They chase love and money, but keep neglecting their real selves. However, New York is still kind to them anyway. They can still hug their fantasy before the window of Tiffany\u2019s,\u201d Kylie said.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Devil Wears Prada\u201d reflects the career and life choice of fashion workers in New York City\u2019s midtown.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

“The Devil Wears Prada”<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI thought New York is glorious and pressured. There are indeed many well-dressed pedestrians. But it is more comfortable and less crazy than the movie. Thus I enjoy the reality better,\u201d another British girl, Elizabeth, said.<\/p>\n

Brooklyn<\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Movies including \u201cGoodfellas\u201d, \u201cRequiem for a Dream\u201d and \u201cAnnie Hall\u201d contain views of Brooklyn.<\/p>\n

Jonah Z. is a huge Woody Allen fan from Boston. He said \u201cEvery time I head to New York, I feel it\u2019s like a pilgrimage.\u201d And the Brooklyn Bridge is the spot he visits frequently.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\u201cI love here. It is the same in Allen\u2019s movies. Like \u201cAnnie Hall\u201d, which is an old work, but still reveals the true romantic feature of New York. The city itself is fascinating and full of uncertainty, similar to the movie,\u201d Jonah said.<\/p>\n

\u201cOnce Upon a Time in America\u201d is also a favorable crime movie shot mainly in Brooklyn. Sharon W. from Brooklyn regards this movie as the best gangster movie she has seen.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

“Once Upon a Time in America”<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThough it was 30 more years ago, I still appreciate the movie,\u201d Sharon said.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe poster\u2019s background is Brooklyn and I have to say the movie completely displays the charm of Brooklyn,\u201d Sharon said.<\/p>\n

Little Italy<\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The multicultural environment in this immigrants\u2019 district benefits movies such as \u201cThe Professional\u201d and \u201cGodfather 2.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Professional\u201d with Natalie Portman was shot in Little Italy and touched an Indonesian student\u2019s heart. Sherise said she was attracted by those little old grocery stores in the movie\"\".<\/p>\n

“Leon: The Professionals”<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThe movie displays another side in New York. I once thought New York belongs to the rich, pricey fur and pubs. But I realized there are people who still struggling and striving to make ends meet,\u201d she said<\/p>\n

Empire State Building<\/h3>\n

\u201cSleepless in Seattle\u201d, \u201cKing Kong\u201d, and many other well-known movies took place here, one of the top tourist spots in the city.<\/p>\n

\u201cI believe in love again because of this movie!\u201d That was how Maggie from Korea commented on \u201cSleepless in Seattle\u201d starring Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

“Sleepless in Seattle”<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI am still firmly convinced that destiny will take your true love in front of you in any way. That\u2019s the only reason I come to Empire State! I like New York because everything can happen here, no coincident is weird here, even the romance in the movie,” Maggie said.<\/p>\n

Central Park<\/h3>\n

\u201cThe Front\u201d, \u201cNorth by Northwest\u201d, \u201cHome Alone 2\u201d and \u201cManhattan\u201d, are among the famous movies made around Central Park.<\/p>\n

For 40-year-old local Megan Mostel, \u201cWhen Harry meets Sally\u201d is the classic for relationships.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

“When Harry met Sally”<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cEvery one watched this movie back to my school days. It is realistic but also sweet. When we went out for dates, Central Park was the first idea came up thanks to this movie. And we still do that now, Central Park is always good.\u201d Megan said.<\/p>\n

\u201cBride War\u201d with Annie Hathaway was mentioned several times. Chinese student Yuxin P. said that the movie reflects a delightful side of New York.<\/p>\n

Another most remarkable movie is \u201cThe Great Gatsby\u201d with Leonardo DiCaprio.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

“The Great Gatsby”<\/span><\/p>\n

Mark F. from China has visited thePlaza Hotel which is located near Central park in order to experience the fancy scenes in the movie. And he said it was actually plainer than in the movie.<\/p>\n

\u201cBut it\u2019s sill astonishing.\u201d He said.<\/p>\n
