To strengthen your post you could add another to revise some points:<br /><br />The clip is not from the opening of the film, the opening of Witness focuses on the Amish community, Sam Lapp and his mother's journey to Philadelphia is about 20 minutes into the film. <br /><br />You could read a little bit about the film and explain how Peter Weir's representation of the Amish community indicates this community is the American Dream not the life in the city. Thus the Amish are represented positively, one could say their rejection of modern technology may be better for the planet.<br /><br />There is footage of the Amish on Youtube, plus in "An Idiot Abroad" the comedian has to stay with the Amish.<br /><br />The film is about two communities. I liked your points about identity, particularly the Amish speaking with a German accent, also their dress code is a strong part of their identity.vmbhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02172457854353337249noreply@blogger.com
