You know your favorite movie? Have you ever thought about which country it takes place in? Australia is the backdrop for several movie productions and is the scene of breathtaking landscapes, so we've put together three movies for you to watch and get inspired for your exchange!
Finding Nemo
An animated classic, Finding Nemo, has joined the list of movies set in Australia! Despite spending most of its running time underwater, the movie takes place in Sydney.
Nemo, a small clownfish, is captured on Australia's Great Barrier Reef and taken to a dentist's aquarium, where his search begins. His father Marlin and Dory, a friendly but very forgetful little fish, join this epic rescue journey.
In the production, several Australian tourist attractions appear, have you noticed? The city's postcard, the Opera House, is shown in some scenes, as well as the Harbour Bridge, one of the largest steel towers in the world, and Sydney Harbour, one of the most frequented places by tourists.
If you haven't noticed these details, watch the movie again on the Disney Plus, Amazon Prime and Apple TV platforms, and visit the Australian sights inside the animation!
Everyone But You
The romantic comedy Everyone But You has become popular not only for its captivating story, but also for its breathtaking scenery. Produced in Sydney, Australia, the movie shows several of the country's famous tourist attractions.
In the plot, Bea and Ben seem to be the perfect couple, but after an incredible first date, an event cools down the burning attraction they had for each other, until they end up together at a wedding in Australia. And to make the situation more pleasant, they pretend to be a couple.
The plot of the romantic comedy doesn't take away from Australia's spectacular scenery. The famous and renowned Queen Victoria Building, built in honor of Queen Victoria, is one of the attractions featured in the film, as well as Palm Beach, one of the country's most popular beaches, and Pittwater, the famous bay in Sydney.
The film is still showing in theaters and has already arrived in the Apple TV and Prime Video catalogs, for all those interested in following the romantic comedy and taking a peek at the Australian landscapes!
Mad Max
For those who prefer a more adventurous genre, we have the science fiction Mad Max. A favorite of many moviegoers, it was released in 1979 and produced in Australia!
The blockbuster is set in a dystopian, post-apocalyptic future where gasoline and water are scarce items that are fought over by gangs. That's when policeman Mad Max, who has lost his wife and children, decides to take revenge on the gang that wronged him.
Despite the deteriorating scenery, the movie was shot in the great Broken Hill desert, located in western New South Wales, in southern Australia.
You can find it on Prime Video, Netflix and HBO Max!
