the barn raising scene in Witness - Witness is a movie from about 20 years ago. It was a good movie although I don't remember it well, and I don't remember the barn-raising scene. Barn raisings were more common when the US economy was much more agricultural than it is today. Barn raising - When a farmer needs a new barn, most members of the community get together to help him build it. Because there are so many people involved, a sturdy barn can be built in one weekend. When it is completed, often they have a feast and dance into the night. It is a joyous occasion for the whole community.
Big time! = Very much so! = Yes, I'm in a lot of trouble! |
