Unfortunately‚ I only have the time to see three of these films. “Witness” is one of the two films that beat out 1992s “A League of Their Own” as a movie I would watch. “Witness‚” on the other hand‚ wouldn’t have sparked my interest save for its recommendations by Adam Kempenaar on several top 5’s on Filmspotting. My guess is that I made the right choice in watching “Witness.” This film centers on John Book (Harrison Ford)‚ a Philadelphia policeman. Book is on the case

It drifts from scene to scene unsatisfied at every moment‚ a restless buoy in a swelling sea. I am a model student – what is the difference this time?

Witness (1985) Analysis: In this analysis I looked at the lunch scene in the middle of raising the barn in Peter Weir’s “Witness” made in 1985. I mainly look at dialogue and mise-en-scene.
