Witness

Siva Shankar Baba - Be a witness - https://youtube.com/shorts/wwjZUazgnFI

A young Amish boy, Samuel, is the sole witness to a murder in Philadelphia. Investigating officer John Book goes into hiding with the boy and his mother in Amish country after an attack on the boy.

Via: In Witness (1985), director Peter Weir makes a brilliant stylistic choice here: the instant Samuel notices a news clipping, all dialogue and ambient sound drop out. The sudden silence, broken by a single, chilling synth note, allows the visuals to deliver the film’s key twist. https://x.com/TheStingisBack/status/2062271604105871545
