00:00And let's cross the bridges of New York together.

00:02Impressive and beautifully ingenious structures that will often be featured on this big screen.

00:08The Queensborough Bridge, built at the beginning of the 20th century, has a rather menacing architecture, I find.

00:13And perhaps that's why it will be used to manage major conflicts in many films.

00:17It is very often crossed by vehicles in full chase.

00:20In The Dark Knight Rises, it is the only barrier between the army and the inhabitants of Gotham, taken hostage by Bane and his gang.

00:27Al Pacino and Johnny Depp cross it in Donnie Brasco, Sacha Baron Cohen wants to jump in it in The Dictator.

00:33But above all, it is the scene of one of the greatest superhero clashes between Spider-Man and the Green Goblin in Sam Raimi's film.

00:39The hero has the difficult task of choosing between saving those he loves or the innocent people on the cable car.

00:44Cable car that really exists and that I was able to take and it's pretty cool to do.

00:48Not far from there is the Manhattan Bridge.

00:50Well, who gave us one of the most beautiful shots in the history of cinema in Sergio Leone's Once Upon a Time in America?

00:55The images speak for themselves.

00:57And discovering this open-air painting with my own eyes was also something that left me speechless.

01:02It can also be seen in a wide shot when the Phantom Menaces fly through it in the film of the same name.

01:06You can also discover its pedestrian zone in Blue Valentine and where Ryan Gosling does some rather dangerous things.

01:12And filming from a low angle in the dark in Fisher King.

01:15But if there is one iconic bridge in New York, it is the Brooklyn Bridge.

01:19It is the oldest suspension bridge in the United States and one of the emblems of New York City.

01:23His first appearance in cinema dates back to 1896 and he owes it to the Lumière brothers who called their film Brooklyn Bridge.

01:31Because hey, why make it complicated?

01:33In recent cinema, it is very often used in a fantastic and rather explosive context.

01:38Filmmakers tend to tear it apart.

01:40In Cloverfield, I Am Legend, Deep Impact and in the 1998 Godzilla.

01:45In 2004, it was the Fantastic Four thing that actually had its favorite place,

01:50before the whole gang gathers there to do superhero stuff.

01:54There's even a Transformers that lands on it at one point and breaks everything.

01:57I mean, there's no respect for monuments anymore.

01:59The Brooklyn Bridge is a bit of a monster's lair, so to speak.

02:02But not only that.

02:03Bradley Cooper goes through it drunk in Limitless,

02:06Ken Urives comes across determined in John Wick 2,

02:08Bruce Willis stretchers it out in Hudson Hawk,

02:12and Denzel Washington plays his finest jazz piece.
