Review of Come See the Paradise (1990) by Mike N — 07 Nov 2010
Alan Parker is known mostly for his controversial films about prejudice and racism in history, and although he makes them well, why is "Come See The Paradise" already a forgotten film? Japanese Internment camps in WWII is one of the darkest times in Japanese and American history, and a subject barely mentioned in either countries' history books, and Parker brought it out to the light in his 1990 film, focusing through a white American man who falls in love with a Nisei Japanese-American girl in the late 1930's.
But when Pearl Harbor is bombed and all people of Japanese desent are hoarded off to secretly located internment camps, the two are doomed to never be together again.
