VHS Movie Reviews of Paradise Road (1997)
Movie Review: Paradise Road,
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a movie I saw and loved so much that I bought a copy, after telling friends about it, and loaning it the inevitable happend........I never got it back. So I bought another copy and yes, it's that good. When I first started to watch the movie, I thought about a Town Called Alice, and the forced marches the Japenese made POW's do so many times. But this is a story of survival, hope, determation and a lot of joy and sadness along the way. YET, it is not a sad movie and no it's not a "chick flick"will it brings tears? I hope so, you should cry when you see man's inhumanity to man in any way shape or form. But it's not depressing. This is a movie that somehow slipped through the cracks when it should have blazened across the airways. The acting- phenominal from everyone, the story- a true one- Inspriartional- made me want to make my life better. I could only rate this five stars, it deserves at least 100 stars.
Summary of Paradise Road (1997)
Earnest and well-meaning, this film also accumulates power as it goes along, despite its inability to generate any moral complexity. But then how complex can you get in a story about the Japanese imprisonment and mistreatment of an international group of women (including Glenn Close, Frances McDormand, and Julianna Margulies)? Written and directed by Bruce Beresford, it's based on a true story. Japanese brutality has been well chronicled before; the real story here is the way these women of different social and ethnic backgrounds achieve a sense of solidarity in the face of potentially deadly abuse. Strong performances and many uplifting and moving moments. --Marshall FineArt House & International VHS Video
