2ndes - The arrival at Ellis Island in famous films

Here are two other extracts from famous films you may watch to have a better insight into the journey of the immigrants:

The Godfather:

 

 

And The Immigrant (Charlie Chaplin, 1916, complete):

 



2ndes - NEW YORK - THE GOLDEN DOOR?

Here is the link to the extract from the film Golden Door, starring Charlotte Gainsbourg and relating the journey of Italian immigrants to the USA at the turn of the 20th century. In this extract, they have just arrived at Ellis Island and are undergoing the different inspections. Bear the text "The Ellis Island Experience" in mind as you watch the video.

 

Get ready for class:
What scenes can you recognize from the text? What are the main steps immigrants have to go through?
How are the immigrants treated by the staff?
How do they react?
If you had been an immigrant, how would you have reacted? What impressions do you get from the video and the text? Develop and give arguments.
