Need some inspiration or just a movie to get you in the travel mood? Here are 5 movies that will help inspire you to travel and to learn more about what it means to travel. They are slightly unusual, but remember there is more to traveling than just the destination.
1. Up
Up tells the story of an elderly man named Carl Fredricksen and a young boy named Russell as they travel to South America by balloon-floating house. On the journey, they meet lots of interesting characters like a talking dog and a former explorer turned bird hunter. The colorful scenes and lively animations are beautiful to witness. Up is the story of friendship, courage, and finding the explorer in everyone.
Although the movie Up is animated, it can help you become an explorer again. It helps you to remember how easy it is to get up and travel somewhere. Now, maybe you will take a plane instead of a balloon-lifted house, but Up inspires you to think beyond your daily life.
Also based on a best selling book, Julie and Julia is the tale of Julia Child and Julie Powell. Julie Powell lives in the 2000s as a struggling young writer. She decides to start blogging and challenges herself to cook through Julia Child's cookbook within one year. Intertwined is Julia Child's story, an American housewife turned French chef. After living in Paris in the 1950s, she becomes an author of "Mastering the Art of French Cooking." It becomes one of the most famous cookbooks and an inspiration for the future Julie Powell.
This movie is unusual for a list like this, but Julie and Julia makes you fall in love with food again. Seeing Julia Child taste the exotic French cuisine, while Julie struggles to cook it in her Queen's apartment years later helps you remember all the joy that eating abroad brings.
