The final shot from the movie, "Planet of the Apes," where the Statue of Liberty is submerged at a shoreline from the waist down. George Taylor (Charlton Heston) falls to his knees, devastated, realizing he's been on Earth the whole time and that we destroyed our planet. Standing behind him is the mute woman Nova and their horse. Waves crash on the beach. The quote is from Thornton Wilder's 1942 play "The Skin of Our Teeth" -- "The whole world's at sixes and sevens, and why the house hasn't fallen down about our ears long ago is a miracle to me."
