Directed by Alan Parker. Dennis Quaid and Tamlyn

Directed by Alan Parker. Dennis Quaid and Tamlyn Tomita star in a historical drama. Beginning in the 1930s Jack is a projectionist at a movie theater in Los Angeles. It's actually owned by a Japanese man and he falls in love with his daughter Lily. Her father disapproves so they both elope. Soon after they have a daughter together. Jack also has strong reservations for the working class; all the rage and frustration against the men in corporate suits makes him feel that things need to change. This proves difficult for his wife when he's jailed after a workers protest. After the attack on Pearl Harbor in 1945 tensions start to increase. A lot of Americans develop hatred and hostility towards many of the Japanese. So many of them are American citizens but are rounded up and thrown in internment camps. The living conditions were harsh from no privacy to crammed spaces. Jack sadly is separated from his family and drafted into the army to trained to kill the enemy. This shows how the general population reacts to times of war and desperation. Because of someone else's ethnicity the hate grows uncontrollably. Everyone expects to hate others because of others' actions. Too many of these camps aren't jails they're like human cages. For lots of Japanese at the time they weren't allowed to own businesses or become citizens on their own. With these camps it changed their lives dramatically. People would only believe the worst during these dark times. Does anyone change inside? Is it better to die than give up on life? Quaid and Tomita are brilliant together showing true love can beat war and hatred. Beautiful music and ripe emotions ring true. The movie also acts as a good fable reminding us of how easily we can give up our freedoms and liberties, and how much we need them. You can only lose so much you love and so much hope that there's nothing left. A new paradise always awaits us after the darkest of days. Good stuff.
