Witness

WITNESS: a film Directed By Peter Weir 1985

Witness is about the murder that is witnessed by a little amish boy Samuel in a train station. The murder is so major because the chief of police was involved. In the train station we meet John Buck a local police law enforcer who is played by the world famous Harrison Ford.  Harrison plays the role of book very well. Book isnt infact very safe himself in the movie as we find out because apart from Samuel Book is the only other witness in the story that knows.Book is forced to move into the Amish communitey with all of the locals for his safety aswell as Samuel and Rachels safety. Rachel is the name of samuels Mother she too is also amish and is recently widowed to Samuels Father this is seen at the start of the film when there is a funeral in German and Rachel is seen crying before heading to her sisters house via train to Baltimore this is where the incident occurs with the bad police men and Samuel. Book Gets confonted by the Bad police man and is shot thats what leads him into hiding within the amish communitey. Book stays there beacause it is very hard to contact the amish communitey and they dont abide by the same laws as The law enforcements. they have amish law
 
 
Book finds it difficult to adjust to Amish society getting in trouble with Eli the elder who is most oftenly seen in the movie.This is because he is related to Rachel and disproves of the flanter between them the end of the fil is truly gripping and you can be the only WITNESS
