Paradise Road description 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 Fine |

| ♥♥♥♥♥ | Women's Power in War-torn world |
| The whole story is set in war-torn South-East-Asia during the attacking of the Japanese army.
The well-selected cast of actresses are giving this story a very sensitive nuance to understand the situation in the past and how women really show the way how to handle them. Men usually take weapons and try to attack the enemy with force, blood and terrorism. But the women's way are far more better and their power to form a vocal choir in the prison camps shows their way to survive and even to attract the invaders. The most touching point is the one when a Japanese soldier who accused a prison woman (played by fabulous Glen Close) tried to say Sorry to her when he sung a popular Japanese folk song far away from his subordinates. This shows that soldiers are human too and they are also impressed about the women's power to survive by any means while the men prisoners from another camp tried to escape and returned dead. The vocal songs are based on the original written papers which survived this time. And "Paradise Road" is still very actual in our today's time. Highly recommendated. |
