按照影片制片人爱德华·费尔德曼的说法,《目击者》“是一部惊险片加一部爱情片加一部关于不同文化之间冲突的影片”。它讲的是警察局内部走私贩毒并杀人灭口的老故事,却由于目击者是个阿门人的孩子,因而影片中的人物关系和社会背景与充斥西方银幕的无数同类题材的影片大相径庭。 制片人费尔德曼首先确定了男主人公的人选:哈里逊·福特。在此之前,福特虽然主演的都是卖座巨片,却或者和机器人打交道(《星球大战》),或者在一些莫名其妙的情境中神出鬼没(《失去方舟的入侵者》)。但他读了《目击者》的剧本之后,立即为它所吸引,而且建议延请彼得·威尔当导演。 彼得·威尔是近年令人瞩目的澳大利亚导演,他的影片《悬崖下的野餐》曾在我国公演。费尔德曼希望这位外国导演能从新的角度来观察和表现美国的社会生活。威尔在接到剧本三天以后便回电表示欣然接受,七个星期以后便开始拍摄《目击者》,而在正常情况下,威尔准备拍片的时间是两年。 在拍片之前,扮演男主人公的福特在费城刑警队生活了两个星期,两次参加搜捕凶杀嫌疑犯;扮演女主人公的凯莉·麦克吉里斯在阿门人家中生活了好多天,了解阿门人日常生活的习俗并学习他们的语言。摄制组尊重阿门人不拍照片的习惯,在影片中没有一个阿门人演员;但阿 门人十分友好
According to film producer Edward Feldman, “Eyewitness” “is a thriller plus a romance plus a film about conflicts between cultures.” It speaks of the old story of smuggling and drug trafficking within the police station but because the witness is a child of the Armenian, the characters and social background in the film are quite different from the numerous films of the same genre that fill the western screen. Producer Feldman first identified the hero candidate: Harrison Ford. Prior to this, Ford, who starred in blockbusters, was dealing with robots (Star Wars) or in some mysterious situation (Ark In Ark Lost). But immediately after reading The Eyewitness’s playbook, he was drawn to it and proposed to extend Peter Welch’s director. Peter Weir is an eye-catching Australian director in recent years. His film Picnic on the Cliff has performed in our country. Feldman hopes the foreign director can observe and show the American social life from a new perspective. Will returned home after accepting the script for three days and gladly accepted it. It started shooting “witnesses” seven weeks later. Under normal circumstances, Will prepared to film for two years. Prior to filming, the hero playing Ford spent two weeks in the Philadelphia Criminal Police Corps, twice in search and murder suspects; acting heroine Kelly McGillis lives in the Albanian family for many days to understand the daily life of the Amen The customs and learning their language. The crew respected the Amen’s habit of not photographing and did not have a single amen in the film; however, the amen were very friendly
