It's a very erotic scene, without them actually having to jump into bed together. In the aforementioned sponge-bathing scene, there's a long period where they just stare at each other and there's absolutely no dialogue! I found that very impressive. I like how Weir never actually decided to put a sex scene to demonstrate the relationship between her and Book. Plus, that scene where she's sponge-bathing topless-Wow! That brings me to another point. I haven't exactly been traveling around Amish country, but I don't know how often you would find an Amish woman that beautiful. Even as an Amish woman, I think she looked beautiful. Kelly McGillis is convincing as the boy's Amish mother, who gets swept away by Book. Now, Harrison was terrific in this movie-probably why I wasn't bothered too much about him being the center of attention-and I think he's a very underrated actor (sure he's widely known, but recognize him more as a macho action hero than an actor), but I think if Weir decided to expand that subplot it would've made a more interesting film. But typical Hollywood, Harrison Ford agrees to do a film-he's the star! And the whole subplot with the little boy gets pushed aside. So I think he should be remembered for that little role, even to this day. He's still a fine actor, and I'm impressed to see his advancement to more grown-up roles, but many probably forgot about him. Lukas, in recent years, has concentrated on more independent works like 'Boys' with Wynona Ryder and the underrated 'johns' with David Arquette, in which he plays a gay prostitute. For a boy of his age to take on a role like that, I have to commend him. I'm not sure how much appraise he got for this moderately thankless role. He'd be traumatized 'til the day he dies! However, I have to note Lukas Haas delivered a terrific performance. He'd keep having nightmares and flashbacks. Living in an Amish environment, he probably doesn't even know the definition of the word 'violence.' So the boy wouldn't be able to return to his native environment and go on with his life like usual. First of all, a little innocent Amish boy isn't going to witness something that grisly and recover that well. Now, we had several discussions about this film and I started to realize some flaws that didn't exactly come clear in my mind at the time. Enter Philadelphia cop John Book (Harrison Ford). A young Amish boy goes to the bathroom in a train station and witnesses a bloody murder. I have to give it up for Peter Weir! He did a spectacular job! The premise is intriguing. Last week we watched 'Fury' with Spencer Tracy, so this week we watched a contemporary film in the genre. I just recently watched this movie in my Development of Film class.
