In the film, the story first takes place near the Arctic Circle, where the protagonist is looking for a pipe. Naturally, it has nothing to do with American history. When the protagonist steals the Declaration of Independence at the Library of Congress in Washington, it can be considered that the tour guide film has begun. The Library of Congress is an inevitable place to visit in American primary and secondary schools. Unfortunately, all kinds of tourist groups are not taken. Even I have had two opportunities to visit Washington alone in the past, but I have never visited it. So this attraction had to be skipped.
Next in the film, the protagonist reads the invisible text on the back of the Declaration of Independence, and needs the help of Benjamin Franklin's open letter to unlock the text code. The exhibition site of the open letter is the Franklin Memorial in Philadelphia. Unfortunately, it is another place not visited by various tour groups, so I had to skip it again. It is worth mentioning that before the birth of the Declaration of Independence, Franklin published a series of articles and letters in newspapers to discuss with others the political structure of the United States in the future, so these letters of his were considered by historians to be important to the founding spirit of the United States. Historical files. Franklin is still a thinker compared to Washington, so he has a higher status on the dollar bill. He is the fixed head of the 100 dollar bill, so the hundred dollar bill is also called Big Ben.
In the next step in the film, the protagonist ran to the roof of the Independence Palace in Philadelphia, and took glasses from a brick that could see the invisible image of the Declaration of Independence. We finally went to this attraction! Unfortunately, it is being renovated! Not to mention going up to the roof, even entering the house is difficult. Moreover, the regular indoor explanation takes 1-2 hours, and the tour guide will not wait that long. The characteristic of Chinese tour groups is that they get in the car to sleep and get out of the car to take pictures. Where will you give you some time for in-depth tour?
Although the time is short and I, who have a strong ability to observe, I still have some gains. First of all, the plot of the protagonist prying bricks is definitely impossible. The Independence Palace is also a small building with three or four floors. There is a large grassland in front of the building. Not to mention people standing on the roof, even a bird is standing. People below can see clearly. Secondly, there is a small state park behind the Independence Palace, which is actually a small park in a block, with a pool fountain inside, and an everlasting fire to commemorate the War of Independence (similar to what I have seen in Sydney). It is a special cave. , Recommend friends who are interested to go there in two steps. What's interesting is that the building behind the Independence Palace is also a stone building, about seven or eight stories high. The inscription on the bottom actually stated that it was once a historic prison in Massachusetts. Hey, the memorial hall for seeking independence, and the prison symbolizing the state apparatus, coexist peacefully in this way.
After another in the film, the protagonist ran to New York to jump into the sea. The place to jump into the sea is the USS Intrepid, which is a tourist attraction that any tourist group in the East of the United States will visit. We finally went again, and the good news is that the aircraft carrier is not being renovated! However, the time given by the tour guide was seriously insufficient, and we even asked us to take care of lunch while watching the aircraft carrier. Although the internal structure of the aircraft carrier is very complicated, only the cabin layer and the open deck layer are open to visitors. You can walk it once according to the route of travel. The main impression is that the inside of the control tower is narrow and low, and it is easy to hit the head. Of course, the navies of all countries in that era were relatively stingy. The Minsk aircraft carrier in Shenzhen and the World War II submarine in Sydney that I visited were not much spacious. Legend has it that Britain is about to repair a new nuclear-powered submarine, and the officers have a separate bathroom, which is really super luxurious treatment. In addition, I saw the planes of the Blue Angel performance team of the US Navy Airmen on the aircraft carrier. It was kind of kind. You know, the Blue Angel’s nest is in Pensacola, Florida. I have been there in person.
I carefully inspected the surface deck of the aircraft carrier and found a place where the protagonist could jump into the sea. I also felt that there was an exaggeration in the movie. Mainly unrealistic, because the Intrepid aircraft carrier was an old aircraft carrier that served during World War II. The protruding decks below the surface deck are equipped with anti-aircraft firearms, which is not easy to jump. Just like domestic residential buildings, there are racks for clothes hanging outside the veranda, so people who jump from the veranda will definitely not jump from the veranda. So if the protagonist really succeeds in the jump, first of all, he'd better do a parallel standing long jump position and jump out for three to five meters.
After another in the film, the protagonist ran to Trinity Church in New York. The Trinity Church will not be visited by the East Coast tour group, but since it is close to Wall Street, the New York Stock Exchange and the Big Copper Bull, we must pass by. The treasure of "National Treasure 1" is rumored to be under the Trinity Church. Hey, in my opinion, this is also nonsense. First of all, this place is located near the southern end of Manhattan Island, and it is a 2km walk to the sea. If the treasure is not affected by the New York subway, it is probably buried under the sea. How to build the necessary ventilation shafts? Secondly, there are four or five lines near the broken subway in New York, which are very dense. It is almost impossible for the treasure to be dug by the subway.
In the film, the treasure is found here, but at the end of the film there is also an attraction in which the protagonist lures the bad guys to go to the Independence Church in Boston. The bell tower of that church is said to be the place where Revere put the signal light on the militia on the other side of the Boston River. Naturally, this place is not for tour groups. The tour group will take you to see Harvard and MIT. The marketing thinking is like taking a parent to see Tsinghua University, which can increase the possibility of their children being admitted. According to a documentary by the Japanese NHK, the Independence Church in Boston should still be on a pedestrian street, and the former residence and statue of Revere, the hero of the War of Independence, can be found nearby.
