Dokura from Japan I have a lot on my mind now, after watching the movie, "Witness". It is like satisfaction, but it is also a little heavy on my heart. There were remarkable contrasts between the violent people and the Amish people in this movie. In one scene where Eli talked to his grandson Samuel about a gun, the words said to Samuel were impressive. I thought, "Why does a gun exist? A gun may be necessary for a policeman to stop violence. But, is it true that if there is a gun, then some people will use that gun to kill other people, even those who have no sin." When I watched the scene in which everyone was working to build a barn together, it brought tears to my eyes. How peaceful the scene is! They put power together and share pleasure. They are smiling. This is what I am looking for, and my hope is there will be no war and people won't change nature. After I watched this movie, my mind was peaceful.
