| Description: | Part 3. We head into "The Grotto" a curved tunnel (info on the exhibition says it took about a minute to pass through so they must have cut out all but entrance and exit, since it was too dark to film the tunnel interior which is described as covered with tropical foliage). Our boat emerges out onto lake surrounded by more collonades and buildings. We turn and head toward and pass under a Venitian style bridge and end up in the "Streets of Old Venice" section which of course attempts to replicate that city; there are a lot of people here, boats lined up along the bank and oddly enough, on one boat there's a guy dressed up in furs and feathers like some "savage" caricature, waving a tomahawk sort of weapon around in a threatening manner much to the amusement of some tourists. We pass under another bridge, then the film ends. | |
