Made immediately after “The Year of Living Dangerously”, “Study” continued a winning wobble for Australian director Peter Weir. His first “American” movie, “Seek” deals with the conflict between two cultures and, in a sense, two centuries as section of a remarkable more used police drama about an Amish boy (Lukas Haas) who witnesses the destroy of an undercover police officer in the men’s room of a jabber dwelling. His mother Rachel (Kelly McGillis) is traveling with the boy and both are drawn into the police investigation. What Detective Captain John Book (Harrison Ford) who is investigating the case doesn’t realize is that someone is out to destroy them both. As a result, Book goes undercover himself taking them serve to the Amish community they near from and hiding out with them there until he can choose who is trying to waste them.

Featuring a rich, startling performance from Ford and a great turn by Kelly McGillis (who had only appeared on “One Life to Live”, a TV movie and the noble film “Rueben, Rueben” at that point in her career) “Explore” detached manages to amaze with the suspense that Weir generates in the film. His focus on the contrasting cultural values of Book and the Amish community makes the film remarkable more than a feeble “B” movie police crime drama adding depth and nuance to the film.
A noteworthy needed improvement over the previous edition of “Watch”, this collector’s edition looks animated with shimmering colors, attractive image quality and very few digital artifacts. Blacks are rock solid throughout. The new release was a non-anamorphic widescreen image and, as such, this anamorphic presentation is a astronomical improvement over the previous edition of the movie. The 5.1 Dolby Digital Surround mix sounds solid throughout.

The fresh “See” was released bare bones so this unusual edition is a welcome change. There’s a 5 fragment documentary “Between Two Worlds” which features fresh interviews with producer Edward S. Feldman, director Peter Weir, actors Harrison Ford and Kelly McGillis. Feldman discusses how the current script was presented to many directors (including director David Cronenberg “The Sail”) and many turned it down. Feldman and his wife happened to survey Weir’s “The Year of Living Dangerously” and he commented to his wife about how that was “a movie” and how perfect he would be to speak the film. McGillis discusses how lucky she was to work with Ford and Weir on one of her first major movies. Ford focuses on how difficult it can be to work with a Foreign director where English isn’t their necessary language so they can frequently lose the nuance of the performance. As Ford points out Weir had the advantage of their favorite language plus the added advantage of being an outsider culturally giving added perspective to the film. Weir’s comments are, not surprisingly, the most famous as he discusses the challenges of making a film in the United States vs. his home country. He also focuses on how he made tall changes to the script shifting the point of conception from Rachel (McGillis) to Book (Ford) since Book was the outsider in Amish country considerable like Weir was with the American crew and actors. His perceptive comments are always significant it’s a pity he’s not a believer in doing film commentary tracks. He also points out that the sequence in the grain tower was improvised and created by he and Ford a couple of days before shooting as they wanted their “High Noon” like showdown to have something different and fresh that might steal advantage of the setting.
We find one deleted scene that was added to the network broadcast (it isn’t integrated here into the feature either) . Like “The Truman Exhibit” it’s certain why the deleted scene was chop although it wouldn’t have damaged the pacing of the film all that worthy. Unruffled, the point made in the deleted sequence where Book’s nephews point to the Amish boy his first video game is charming; thematically it’s echoed by other far qualified sequences throughout the film. There are also the novel TV spots and theatrical teaser and trailer for the movie.
“Gape” was a pivotal film for director Weir as it cemented his reputation as a major film director. It also dwelling the stage for his collaboration with Ford on the underrated “The Mosquito Flee” as well as Weir’s work with producer Edward Feldman on “The Truman Prove” another pivotal film in Weir’s career. Although he didn’t wriwrite “Survey”, Weir brought his experience as a writer/director to the film and kept the recent writers on board to retool the script to fit his unusual vision. Typically, the film was honored with an Academy Award for Best Fresh Screenplay but Weir was passed over as director (as he continues to be considerable like Hitchcock and Welles two other giants of the cinema to which Weir can be compared for his unusual personal vision) . Paramount has done a tall job here improving the transfer as well adding powerful needed extras to this classic contemporary film. Although 20 years frail, “Study” holds up extremely well today (Weir comments that he opinion that it was the one film would be least likely to continue to gain up well and has been pleasantly surprised) . Definitely worth an upgrade for fans of this terrific movie!
‘Witness’ is probably Harrison Ford’s best film, and when it was released it showed him another facet of a gifted actor who until then had been known only to most moviegoers only as Han Solo and Indiana Jones. In ‘Witness’, Ford is police detective John Book, called to request a tremulous runt Amish boy named Samuel Lapp, and his young widowed mother. An undercover cop has been killed in the men’s room at the railroad space, and Samuel, hiding in a stall, is the only eyewitness. Samuel is unable to identify the perp from the usual log of suspects; but there he is, posted prominently on the precinct bulletin board — a decorated narcotics agent. When Book relates his findings to the police captain, he ends up getting shot himself — seems the captain is in on it as well. With the captain, the narcotics agent, and a third dirty cop gunning for him, Book needs a residence to cloak, and what better space than the Lapp house deep in Amish country?
The disagreement between the gritty urban police precinct and the bucolic Amish farm country is one of the best things about the film. Book dressed in a blue shirt and dark trousers several inches too short for him, looking like the proverbial fish out of the water, is a search for to eye. All of a sudden he’s succor in the nineteenth century — no electricity, no cars, no TV or computers. He might as well be on another planet. And the Amish are as different from him as plot aliens; gentle, still pacifists, hardworking and industrious, intent on keeping the outside world as far from them as possible. They are neighborly and cooperative; the barn-raising scene is lively to sight. We feel sympathy for these tranquil, decent people as the outside world keeps encroaching, and study them trying to navigate a horse and buggy on the Interstate. Book has to try to fit into this world, and he gives it his best shot. He joins in the barn-raising, does exclusive chores around the farm. But the Amish, while they respect his abilities, maintain him at arm’s length. For one thing, he’s falling in admire with the young widow Lapp, whose feeling for him is mutual. For another, his assimilation is only skin-deep; on a saunter into town, when a group of local louts inaugurate pestering the Amish, Book chips in with a upright to the lout’s nose that leaves his face a bloody mess. It’s going to exhibit his undoing; benefit in his precinct, the narcotics agent and the captain have gotten wind of his hideout, and now they approach to shut him up once and for all, and silence Samuel as well.
In dissimilarity to his one-note performances in the ‘Star Wars’ films and as Indiana Jones, Ford gives a great more nuanced performance in this film; he’s the tough city cop on the one hand and the refugee who doesn’t fit on on the other. Lukas Haas is very effective as the young boy Samuel, all stout eyes and ears; and Kelly McGillis is edifying as his mother, torn between her feelings for Book and her ties to her Amish community; faced with the threat of being shunned for the rest of her life and lop off from everyone she knows if she marries him. There are several primary supporting performances as well, especially the leisurely Alexander Godunov as the widow Lapp’s admirer whose innate civility prevents him from expressing the resentment he feels at Books presence, and Danny Glover as the murderous narcotics detective. Peter Weir’s sensitive direction plays up the incompatibility between time and dwelling, sustaining the tension throughout the film. ‘Witness’ is not an action/adventure blockbuster like the movies that made Ford a household name, but it doesn’t need pyrotechnics to stand out. It’s a well-crafted, well-acted, eminently satisfying movie.
