patrick,

I agree that "Witness" was well crafted. I just thought the premise with Ford hiding in shaker drag was too contrived. A tiny detail: when Ford collaspes at the wheel of the car and demolishes the farmer's elaborate wood bird house, Ford did the repairs to the prop himself- he had worked as a carpenter before success as an actor.

Yes, I completely forgot "Blade Runner" which of course is an amazing and influential movie visually and I think derives it's status from Trumbull and Scott in spite of Ford. It's amazing to see "Blade Runner" today as it's many. many imitators obscure the impact of it's original.

Interestingly, there was an originally supressed scene- (a flying white horse dream I think) which implied the Ford character may also be a "replicant" or artificial person. A robot.

J'ai toujours pensee qu'il etait brilliant de Cameron pour mouler Schwarzenegger comme les "Terminator"- un robot car parler articule, geste subtile, et expressions faciale ne sont pas selone les besoins pour creer l'illusion d'un robot de tueur.

Salut AND Gruss,

Bam
