When I saw this movie with Harrison Ford, I was about 14 years old.
It was probably the most important trigger for my lasting interest in the Amish and Mennonite people living in America (here Lancaster county, Pennsylvania).
I was left speechless in disbelief about the simple life of the Amish people in America. I was very impressed! It was one of my motivations to immigrate to the US from Germany in 1995.
Let the Liberty Bell in Philadelphia ring! "Proclaim LIBERTY throughout all the Land unto all the Inhabitants thereof"
The Amish and the Mennonites are an expression of American Exceptionalism! Or only in America!
