I have seen so many movies filmed in British Columbia but the movie storyline is set in a northern U.S. state that I have long since lost count. I am not complaining, rather I find it remarkable. For some reason Hollywood likes to film in British Columbia but the storyline is set in Washington State, Minnesota, or New England. In an alternate universe by Hollywood, British Columbia is Washington State or else Washington State is much larger than it is in reality. The Washington State of Hollywood (as depicted by British Columbia) is a rural state filled north-to-south, east-to-west with forest-covered mountains and hills. Small, cozy towns and villages light up in a delightful kaleidoscope of lights and decorations for Christmas movies. But there are not-so-nice mountain towns, often decrepit looking for the crime action and mystery movies. In-between, normal looking mountain towns are for drama and science fiction and monster movies. At this point maybe the U.S. and Canada should just share B.C. and give the people there dual Canadian-U.S. citizenship.
