Author's Intention

I think that the author's intention in making that film was not only to inform while entertain, but to also shed light on a lot of New York's landmarks that aren't really being appreciated.  I think that when he made this film he probably saw how all the landmarks were in New York and how they made him feel on a day to day basis.  Im not sure if he already knew all that historical information but if not he did a lot of research and development for a film that seemed as if he filmed in just a couple of hours out of a regular day.  By making the film have this appeal, I think he grasped the audience on a heart to heart level and got them interested.
