Recreating Iconic Movie Scenes

June 27, 2020

James Stanton

The more we live, more brief appear Our life's succeeding stages; A day to childhood seems a year, And years like passing ages.

The gladsome current of our youth, Ere passion yet disorders, Steals lingering like a river smooth Along its grassy borders.

But as the careworn cheek grows wan, And sorrow's shafts fly thicker, Ye stars, that measure life to man, Why seem your courses quicker?

When joys have lost their bloom and breath, And life itself is vapid, Why, as we reach the Falls of Death Feel we its tide more rapid?

It may be strange—yet who would change Time's course to slower speeding, When one by one our friends have gone, And left our bosoms bleeding?

Heaven gives our years of fading strength Indemnifying fleetness; And those of youth, a seeming length, Proportion'd to their sweetness.

- Thomas Campbell

Let’s Talk About Cricket

Cricket has been a prevalent sport in the subcontinent for a long time. It is something that the locals relate with to a great extent. Be it bowling, or batting, or fielding for a match. Interestingly, Cricket was introduced in this region from the British when they acted as colonizers. The locals picked up the sport and adopted it as if it were their own sport, thereby developing a strong conviction to it. Experts agree that youngsters living in the Weald, a region of thick forests and clear

What are Sports to Society?

We all know what sports are by definition. We have all heard of different games like cricket, basketball, football, hockey, and many more. Other people enjoy watching different sports and some people can be enthusiastic enough to never miss a game. Regardless of what sport you choose or what level of enthusiasm you show towards the game, it can be agreed that sports hold a specific meaning to society. The definition of a sport goes far beyond knowing the rules of the game. There is a greater con

Military Culture

You might have heard that different cultures exist across different ethnicities, but if you have seen some of the most classical military-based movies like “A few good men”, or otherwise have an interest in military life, then you will know that there is a completely different culture in the Military and although civilians might not be able to understand that culture, it is well practiced in the military.

A creative and bold German couple in their early thirties, Judith Schneider and Robin Lachhein have a rather unique favorite pastime, which just so happens to be traveling across the globe to recreate iconic movie scenes. Not only do they recreate the scenes, but they also make sure to do so in the very same locations they were filmed at, which is why this expensive hobby also includes no shortage of traveling. The inspiring film buffs met a decade ago at the party of a mutual friend, and ever since, there was no looking back for them.

They’ve been traveling for the past six years, and what started out as just a small hobby for themselves, posting cute pictures around their house, turned into something bigger than they ever could have imagined after their friends and family started to notice what they had been doing. After gaining endless praise for their impressive recreations of these movie scenes, they decided to even create their own Instagram account known as ‘Secret Famous Places’. Today, they’ve earned themselves tens of thousands of followers that anxiously await to see what they’ve created.

Although people often think that it’s their full-time job, they have made a clear point of expressing that it’ still just a hobby that they enjoy doing for themselves, and have other careers outside of the film industry. Judith and Robin have already recreated nearly 70 movie scenes, and put tons of thought into choosing each one, recreating only scenes from the most memorable of movies, and of course, only those with both a female and male main character. Just showing up at the location where the scene was originally filmed and taking a picture proved to not work out so well for the most part, since in many cases additional things were often added into the background. They often use photoshop to make small modifications, but in general, always try to make authenticity a priority.
