We have lately been getting so many pallid, bloodless little movies mostly recycled teenage exploitation films made by ambitious young stylist without a thought in their heads – that “Witness” arrives like a fresh new day. It is a movie about adults, whose lives have dignity and whose choices matter to them. And it is also one hell of a thriller.

"We are told to remember the idea and not the man. Because a man can fail. He can be caught, he can be killed and forgotten. But 400 years later...an idea can still change the world. I have witnessed firsthand the power of ideas. I've seen people kill in the name of them...and die defending them. But you cannot kiss an idea...cannot touch it or hold it. Ideas do not bleed. They do not feel pain. They do not love. And it is not an idea that I miss. It is a man. A man that made me remember the 5th of November. A man that I will never forget."

There's a little paradox here: WITNESS exalts people who aren't allowed to see movies—it says that they're morally superior to moviegoers. It's so virtuous it's condemning itself.

Academy Award Winners for Best Cinematography: 1994 — Janusz Kamiński, ASC Schindler's List (1993) Directed by Steven Spielberg Aspect Ratio: 1.85 : 1

Influenced by the 1985 documentary film Shoah, Spielberg decided not to plan the film with storyboards, and to shoot it like a documentary. 40% of the film was shot with handheld cameras, and the modest budget meant the film was shot quickly over 72 days. Spielberg decided to use black and white to match the feel of documentary footage of the era. Cinematographer Janusz Kamiński compared the effect to German Expressionism and Italian neorealism. Kamiński said that he wanted to give the impression of timelessness to the film, so the audience would "not have a sense of when it was made". — Wikipedia
