The film Witness directed by Peter Weir has expresses the main idea of two worlds colliding with each other. "This is done" Through the use of skillful film Should be "skillful use of film" and camera techniques, that allows the audience to see into the lives of the Amish community, and the brief clashes in differences in culture with the modern world in 1984. This should all be one sentence but as an intro it's far too short. Also none of the commas are necessary.
In a world with many different cultures Weir has used juxtaposition to emphasize the differences in those of the Amish, No comma and the modern English society. Weir skillfully presents it in-directly. This is one word. The opening scene commences "begins" instead, commences just sounds wanky. with a green and lush "lush green" instead setting, with all the nature "natural" insteadbeauty of Amish life. The skies are clear and blue, creating a calm and peaceful atmosphere. The Amish community being separated from the outside world emphasizes their obedience and maintains a link with nature. As the scene moves on to a stretch of road, an Amish cart is being pulled by a horse at a slow and unhurried rate, emphasizing their nature and the purest lifestyle. you're just repeating yourself here. The slow pace indicates their slow lifestyle. Furthermore this is juxtaposed to that of the truck with all its loud noise and mechanical workings, aggressively speeds "speeding" not speeds pass the Amish cart. This further illustrates the two conflicting worlds and cultures, as the modern society is unable to cope with the calm and gentle Amish existence. Weir’s use of a juxtaposition shows these ideas indirectly, as Samuel and Rachael are traveling through the urban area in their cart, illustrates the two conflicting worlds and culture, with modern society. Get rid of all the commas here.
The “murder” scene of the undercover officer, establishes a clashing of culture
with Samuel entering the toilet, which is presented through a camera shot of Samuels’s point of view, as he looks up at a clearly disturb man with a faint smile showing his state of innocence’s. The idea of corruption is prominent in the murder scene. As the two men enter the room, the camera is still focused on the man as it creates tension. Weir then uses symbolism and el mise en to illustrate the danger involved in a corrupt world. The camera changes to a long shot as the two men approach the innocent man allowing us to see clearly what is about to happen. Using a red material to blind folder the man, we get a close up shot before they cover his face with it, and cuts his throat as blood squirts out. Weir emphasizes the corruption in the modern world through the use of red to illustrate the danger involved and the el mise en of the horrific scene of blood and the knife as a motif shows Weir’s intention to amplify the idea of corruption in the modern society. Furthermore the director uses irony as we discover that the innocent man who was an undercover officer was actually killed by corrupted detectives. Ironically these men who were trained to protect the innocent kill an innocent man illustrate the corruption in the modern world, as the murder scene commences the camera cuts to Samuel peering through the crack in the door then cuts back to Samuel after the murder scene ends. Samuel locks the door as we get a shot of Samuels point of view as he steps away from the door, the camera changes to a close up shot of his face expressing his state of shock and fear which illustrates that Samuel has never seen anything like this before, his introduction to modern society and the murder represent the modern world. The lost of innocents which is shown through Samuel as he is an Amish, and has come from a caring community which despises any sort of violence, loses a degree of innocence’s through his experience of witnessing a horrific scene. Weir’s, ingeniously emphasizes the idea of the violence and corruption in the modern society, in contrast to the innocence’s in Samuel through the use of film techiniques.
This is far too long and dense - separate out the tangents and run a spell check over this section. Also, stop putting commas everywhere.
The clashing of worlds that Weir presents as Eli, Samuels’s grandfather, lectures him about the evil of the ‘gun of hand’. The Amish unlike the modern society are peaceful and do not take any action to any fellow human being regardless of the provocations. The scene is lit with soft golden light and a medium shot to establish a pleasant environment. Samuel sits on Eli’s lap throughout the scene emphasizing the clear bond they have together. Eli speaks of the Amish law against killing of any kind despite the “type of person”. Samuel replies “I will only kill a bad man” demonstrates Samuels’s loss of innocence as Eli says “it is for god to decide”. The dialogue effectively presents the Amish people as genuine loving people and illustrates the religious nature of the Amish people. In contrast to the “ice cream” scene where Book becomes emotional and takes into his own hands to hit the non Amish youth that was abusing his Amish companion. Eli tells Book it is not our way but, Book replies it is my way shows that difference in resolving problems. The Amish takes no action no matter the situation while Book coming from a modern society believes it is the way to solve things. Weir uses contrast through the emotion that he stirs up is emphasizes through the dialogues.
Peter Weir is a fantastic director of “witness” This should be capitalised. Also it doesn't matter how good the thing is, you're not giving a film review. Thus this shouldn't be in at all. as it is his best creation. Weir use of various camera techniques, dialogue, symbolism creates two contrasting world within the film a cultural clash between the Amish community and the western community is an evitable part of humanity, as Weir demonstrates the importance of acceptance.
