Resume af The Witness m. Harrison Ford

Har set filmen, men vi nåede aldrig at lave et resumé desværre. :(

og har du prøvet at søge herinde i opgaver? måske kunne det give dig lidt held (;

When Samuel (Lukas Haas), a young Amish boy traveling with his mother Rachel (Kelly McGillis), witnesses the murder of a police officer in a public restroom, he and his mother become the temporary wards of John Book (Harrison Ford), a detective who's been assigned to solve the crime. After suspect lineups and mug-shot books yield nothing, Samuel, in the most memorable scene of the film, recognizes the murderer as a narcotics agent whose picture he sees in the precinct. Once Book realizes that the police chief is in on it, too, he whisks Samuel and Rachel back home to Amish country, where he himself goes into hiding as a plain Amish man. The juxtaposition between the life of the Amish and the violence of inner-city police corruption work surprisingly well for the story, and Kelly McGillis as the falling in love widow gives an almost perfect performance. Directed by Peter Weir, the film is extremely successful in drawing the viewer into its world and, accordingly, is immensely entertaining. The only thing that mars its polish is the one-dimensional, almost cartoonish handling of the upper-echelon police corruption--a subtler, more realistic treatment of this aspect of the story would have rendered the film near perfect

Jeg mener, at jeg har læst den, og det var ikke kun et referat, og den er også alt for kort.. :)

Ellers tak..

#4:
Hvis du har læst bogen, er det så ikke bare med at komme i gang med at skrive det referat selv?! Hvis det _skal_ være et referat af filmen, så kan du jo bare låne den og så skrive et referat.

Har skam set filmen, det er bare længe siden, og vi har set nogle film siden, så jeg husker den svagt. Resumet er til i overmorgen, fredag.

Så kunne godt bruge et resume til at kigge lidt på, før jeg skriver referatet..

It isn't long before the young boy fingers Philadelphia narcotics officer McFee as the murderer. Book soon discovers that McFee was involved in the theft of something called P2P, an ingredient used in the making of methamphetamine. Shortly after Book tells his boss this information, McFee comes after Book and wounds him in a shootout.
