To be honest, while living in Brooklyn and watching movies, there have been many moments when I thought, 'Oh, I pass by that alley every day.'

Whenever my family asks where the background is while watching TV, I usually just brush it off, but this time I've organized it properly.

The most famous work featuring Brooklyn is undoubtedly the 2015 film 'Brooklyn.' It tells the story of an Irish immigrant, Eilis, settling in Brooklyn in the 1950s, with actual filming taking place in Queens and Brooklyn.

The film has been praised for capturing the atmosphere of the neighborhoods where immigrants lived at the time and was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Picture. The 2002 film '25th Hour,' directed by Spike Lee, is a Manhattan-based drug investigation story, but the Brooklyn Bridge Park area is a major filming location. Edward Norton plays a drug dealer from Brooklyn, leaving a strong impression alongside the cityscape.

In terms of TV dramas, 'Girls' is the most well-known work set in Brooklyn. This series aired on HBO from 2012 to 2017 and depicted the daily lives of young women in the Williamsburg and Greenpoint areas of Brooklyn.

The main character Hannah's apartment was modeled after a building near 157 Norman Avenue in Greenpoint, and cafes, restaurants, and parks from the neighborhood appear as they are in the filming. 'Boardwalk Empire' primarily takes place in Atlantic City, but it is known to have filmed sets of 1920s New York near the Brooklyn Navy Yard.

The film 'Tony Manero' is the original of the 1977 film 'Saturday Night Fever,' starring John Travolta, which is set in the Bay Ridge area of Brooklyn. The street where the main character Tony works at a paint store and the disco club '2001 Odyssey' were actually located in the Bay Ridge area around 86th Street.

Although other stores have taken their place now, it remains a landmark that fans visit. Additionally, since the 2000s, downtown Brooklyn and the DUMBO area have become filming locations for numerous movies and commercials. The view from Washington Street in DUMBO, where the Manhattan Bridge looks like a frame, has appeared in hundreds of films and dramas. Knowing that our neighborhood has been the backdrop for so many works makes the streets I pass by every day look a little different.
