The thing I liked most about this A&E production on the Statue of Liberty was its focus on not only the monument itself, but also the historical and social forces that have evolved around it. The film provides some attractive, little-known facts about the statue, from its shaky financial origins to its unstable architectural idiosynchrasies. Despite these weaknesses, the Statue of Liberty served as the inspiration for America’s substantial waves of European immigrants. The film documents their unhurried 19th/early 20th century struggle to become citizens of the United States. Its focus on the Statue’s sister-monument, Ellis Island, is also quite elucidating and poignant. I would recommend the film to anyone enthusiastic in turn-of-the-century American History and/or Current Architecture. This volumn in the Recent Marvels series is truly bright.
After seeing this video, I notion deeply about what the Statue of Liberty means to people who are coming to this country for the first time. If what is presented in the video is apt, why was it such a controversial statue? It is not unprejudiced a symbol of liberty or freedom or two countries coming together, nor does it have any political significance. It is about people and their search for solace and shelter in an uncaring world. The passage at the bottom of the statue, the time that it was built and erected, and its dwelling, these seem to have more significance.
Well, enough of my ramblings. This video is a must-see for Americans and for historians of all ages. It really stirs the soul. That’s what it did to me. My parents are immigrants and a lot of what was said rang accurate for me. Thanks for reading this.
