Witness was the first American film directed by Australian director Peter Weir. Witness explores the clash between two cultures that can’t mix together. The idealistic world of the Amish comes into conflict with ugly side of police corruption, leading to internal conflict in the police force. The Amish also come into conflict with the local culture. When the key characters John Book and Rachel Lapp fall in love, the between cultures are further emphasised. The movie begins with the shots only of the Amish people, so that you almost start to think the movie is a period piece. The first appearance of modern society occurs when a carriage, moving right across the scene is followed by a large truck and a big line of cars behind it. It’s a pretty funny shot because it’s possible that the only negative impression an East Coast person will develop of Amish culture will be when stuck behind a slow-moving Amish carriage. The shot of the carriage stopped in front of the railroad crossing.
