Lincoln’s nose
: WTC memorial architect Daniel Liebeskind writes in The Guardian about coming to America as a young immigrant and seeing North by Northwest:
North by Northwest perfectly communicates the vastness of the American canvas and the drama of its images – everything that is beautiful, dramatic and exciting. The integration of Mount Rushmore into the final climax symbolises the idea that in the US gods actually come down to earth, human beings become part of the landscape and the landscape becomes heroic.
