Handout on narrative from today's portion ーー


Come See the Paradise 2015.03.26


     Jack, Charlie, and Lily go to a Chinese restaurant for lunch.  Charlie has to go back to lock up the theater, so Jack and Lily are left alone.  They talk, and also Jack asks Lily for a kiss, which she gives him.  She also tells him that the Kawamura family does not actually own the theater.  The Kawamura parents are also not citizens because Asians are allowed neither citizenship nor ownership of property.
     Lily tells her sister Dulcie about dating Jack but orders her not to tell the parents. Jack and Lily go out dancing, but ultimately the parents find out.  There is a huge scene at the dining room table, during which the father absolutely forbids Lily to have any contact with Jack.  After that, Mr. Kawamura fires Jack from his job at the theater and send Lily off to her aunt on Terminal Island.  Jack's attempt to talk with Mr. Kawamura (and declare his honorable intentions) fails.
     Lily returns from Terminal Island, however, and finds Jack packing his things because he has to leave the theater.  He proposes to her and they consummate their relationship.  Lily leaves her home carrying a small suitcase.  Her mother is sewing in the living room but says nothing as Lily leaves.  Then, because Asians and white Americans are forbidden to marry under California law, they go to Seattle, Washington, to be married by a justice of the peace on a rainy day. 
      A baby girl, Minae, is born and Jack works in a fish cannery plant.  Workers who are trying to organize a union are mistreated by plant management -- heavy loads of fish are dropped on them as they hold up a sign asking for fair wages and working conditions.  Jack breaks his promise to Lily and gets involved.  She is upset, leading to a major fight between them.  He goes to a demonstration the next day, where he is both injured and arrested.  Lily, waiting in vain for him to come home for dinner, is upset.
     She takes Minae home to Los Angeles to her parents, only to find out that her father has been arrested, along with other Japanese community leaders.  The Japanese navy has just attacked Pearl Harbor.  Jack hears this when he is released from prison.

Come See the Paradise　ーーー　Notes

Begins with Lily and her daughter, Mini, walking through the California countryside to meet Mini's father, who will be arriving by train.

Then flashes back to 1936 in Brooklyn, where JackMcGurn is involved with the Projectionists Union.  Jack  is involved in setting a fire in a Brooklyn move theater and burns his hands while trying to put it out.  He disagrees with the boss of the local chapter of the union and is told to get out of town.　He knows about the law, having taught himself, and is called "sweatshop lawyer" by other union members.
In the meantime, the film shows a theatrical performance a party put on by the Kawamura family in Little Tokyo, a Japanese section of Los Angeles.  Mr. Kawamura, the father, introduces his children to visitors from Japan and then goes off to play cards for money.  The children disapprove.  Everyone is startled when the projectionist at the Kawamura Movie Theater commits suicide.

He travels to visit his brother, Gerry, and his sister-in-law, Marge, in Los Angeles.  Gerry and Jack argue about politics, with Gerry accusing Jack of being a Communist.
Jack gets a job as a projectionist at the Kawamura movie theater, where musical samurai movies are playing.  Jack learns songs from the movie theater (5 or 6 shows a day!) and sings them to other employees.
Jack and Charlie Kawamura go out for lunch, and Jack meets Charlie's sister, Lily.  Lily is working as a seamstress はりこ　in a tailoring shop.

Handout of permission letter:

March, 23, 2015

Dear Parent/Guardian :

Your child is currently studying Japanese language and culture.  To enhance your child’s learning experience, and to increase understanding of Japanese-American immigrants  history, I am planning to show Allan Parker’s 1991 film, Come See the Paradise (given 3 stars by Roger Ebert).

Though the film is rated R, I am convinced of its educational value.  It concerns the internment of Japanese-Americans during World War II, seen partly through the eyes of a young Irish-American labor organizer (played by Dennis Quaid) whose wife (Tamlyn Tomita) is sent to a prison camp with her whole family. The rating is due primarily to language issues, having particularly to do with immigrant groups’ use of American slang.  Dialogue is in both Japanese and English, and thus the different linguistic competencies of first, second, and third generation Japanese-Americans are highlighted.   I can assure you that the film will be shown in appropriate context, including discussion and activities.  I sincerely believe that OPRF students have the maturity to view this film and that they will gain a deeper understanding of both American history and world history as affecting Japanese and Japanese-Americans. 

Please complete the form by March 25^th if you are refusing permission for your child to view Come See the Paradise.  If you do not wish to have your son or daughter view this film, I will gladly provide a relevant and appropriate  alternative assignment.

Please feel free to phone or email if you have any questions.

                                      Sincerely,

                                       (Mrs.) Carol Ruth Kimmel, Japanese language teacher

                                        Email: crkimmel@oprfhs.org

Please complete the following:            Name of student_______________________________
