The Sweet Life

Some movies are made popular, or made unforgettable because of one scene. For instance in the movie Rocky, one of the best scenes is when he is training for the fight and finally runs up the stairs of the Philadelphia Art Museum and throws his hands up in victory. The steps of the Philadelphia Art Museum completely made this scene what it is today. For many movies their one memorable scene takes place in front of The Trevi Fountain. This is a place that is so beautiful, and different than any other place on earth that it can turn a good scene into a spectacular scene. For instance in the movie La Dolce Vita, the character Sylvia finds herself standing amazed in front of the Trevi Fountain in the middle of the night with no one around. She decides to jump in, in her clothes and immerse herself in the flowing water. Her love interest Marcello was wandering around trying to find milk for her cat when he stumbles upon Sylvia swimming in the Trevi Fountain and drenching her hair in the fountain of water. He is so enamored with her beauty he jumps in to be with her. The scene is very sexy, and classy, at the same time which has made it one of the timeless scenes of old film. This scene would not have been made possible without The Trevi Fountain; it has made the movie what it is today.
