What
disaster movie would be complete without
a long slow scene where the Statue
of Liberty gets smashed into a billion
pieces? Maybe it’s an alien
invasion that’s trying to take
over earth (by invading America first
apparently) or maybe its nature trying
to get rid of New York. These scenes
feature prominently in the American
psyche because the Statue of Liberty
has slowly become a symbol of “everything
that America stands for.” If
the truth is told the Statue of Liberty
is a fine example of sculpture on
a massive scale, if you can separate
it from the symbolism that pop culture
has assigned to “her”
massive frame.
