Daily Kos :: Comments "The Village" a 9/11 parable? (w/ poll)

Beautiful (none / 0)

We discussed it after the film. But it had the look of one of those historic villages where the houses and buildings are moved in, instead of being a real village, like Williamsburg or Sturbridge.
The homes were beautiful, in an Ethan Allen advertisement kind of way. "The Shaker Collection"

  all built from scratch. The hardware - hinges, doorknobs, etc - was all custom cast by a blacksmith. It was an amazing thing to have a hand in.
  At the risk of straying too far into technobabble, many of the building had 'wild' walls. That's to say, the walls could all be removed and the roof would remain. Then there was that greenhouse.....(shudder)

  Hate to break it to you, but Williamsburg is pretty fake. It was recreated back in the 20s. About the only real building there is the Wren building.

    I want to say it was Rockefeller who helped recreate it, a lot of buildings are not where they actually were back in colonial days. They certainly did not have a Talbots back then.
