Come See the Paradise weaves late-Depression politics, racial conflict, and World War II into a moving love story. Rated R. (138 min.). Going for Broke Hosted by Senator Daniel K. Inouye This powerful documentary provides a rare glimpse at the 442nd Infantry Regimental Combat Team of World War II, comprised entirely of Japanese Americans.

MGM 70 YEARS: REDISCOVERIES and CLASSICS June 24 - September 30, 1994
The Museum of Modern Art For Immediate Release May 1994 MGM 70 YEARS: REDISCOVERIES AND CLASSICS June 24 - September 30, 1994 A retrospective celebrating the seventieth anniversary of Metro-Goldwyn- Mayer, the legendary Hollywood studio that defined screen glamour and elegance for the world, opens at The Museum of Modern Art on June 24, 1994. MGM 70 YEARS: REDISCOVERIES AND CLASSICS comprises 112 feature films produced by MGM from the 1920s to the present, including musicals, thrillers, comedies, and melodramas. On view through September 30, the exhibition highlights a number of classics, as well as lesser-known films by directors who deserve wider recognition. MGM's films are distinguished by a high artistic level, with a consistent polish and technical virtuosity unseen anywhere, and by a roster of the most famous stars in the world -- Joan Crawford, Clark Gable, Judy Garland, Greta Garbo, and Spencer Tracy. MGM also had under contract some of Hollywood's most talented directors, including Clarence Brown, George Cukor, Vincente Minnelli, and King Vidor, as well as outstanding cinematographers, production designers, costume designers, and editors. Exhibition highlights include Erich von Stroheim's Greed (1925), Victor Fleming's Gone Hith the Hind and The Wizard of Oz (both 1939), Stanley Kubrick's 2001: A Space Odyssey (1968), and Ridley Scott's Thelma & Louise (1991). Less familiar titles are Monta Bell's Pretty Ladies and Lights of Old Broadway (both 1925), Rex Ingram's The Garden of Allah (1927) and The Prisoner - more - 11 West 53 Street, New York, N.Y. 10019-5498 Tel: 212-708-9400 Cable: MODERNART Telex: 62370 MODART 2 of Zenda (1929), Fred Zinnemann's Eyes in the Night (1942) and Act of Violence (1949), and Anthony Mann's Border Incident (1949) and The Naked Spur (1953).

Honoring Witnesses to a Nuclear Nightmare
Honoring witnesses to a nuclear nightmare Edward Guthmann, Chronicle Staff Writer Wednesday, August 1, 2007 When Steven Okazaki was making "White Light/Black Rain," his terrific HBO documentary about the aftermath of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, he couldn't afford to think too deeply about the material. "I just took one deep breath," he remembers, "and continued through the whole film." It was only later, after the Sundance Film Festival in January, that Okazaki, a 1991 Oscar winner for the documentary short "Days of Waiting," could take it all in: to absorb the reality of 210,000 deaths caused by atomic bomb attacks on Aug. 6 and Aug. 9, 1945; the 160,000 subsequent deaths from delayed radiation effects; the images of scorched bodies, flattened cityscapes and children discovering their parents' remains; the callous Japanese government that treated survivors as "untouchables," as one witness says. "Around March," Okazaki says, "I suddenly started feeling it and thinking about the whole thing. I just wanted to stay in bed." He spent two months in "a delayed depression." Okazaki, 55, shot the documentary in Japan with a Japanese crew, and interviewed more than 100 people before choosing the 14 hibakusha (atomic bomb survivors) who appear in the film. Among them: Shigeko Sasamori, who was 13 when Hiroshima was bombed and became one of 25 "Hiroshima Maidens" flown to the United States for cosmetic surgery; Keiji Nakazawa, who was 6, and later illustrated the horrors of Hiroshima in his manga series "Barefoot Gen;" and Sakue Shimohira, who found her mother's charred body following the Nagasaki explosion, and watched it "turn to ash." Unlike most films about the bombings, "White Light/Black Rain" includes wrenching footage of bombing victims, both the dead and the burned, disfigured survivors.

To Be Yellow, Brave, and Disappeared in Bad Day at Black Rock
New Voices Conference "Patriotic Drunk": To be Yellow, Brave, and Disappeared in Bad Day at Black Rock John Streamas John Sturges' 1954 Hollywood feature film Bad Day at Black Rock is a brave indictment of two kinds of intolerance: racism and McCarthyism. Its racial narrative is unusual. While most Hollywood denunciations of racism construct sympathetic victims who are liberated into freedom and autonomy by a white hero, as in Snow Falling on Cedars, Sturges' film shows no one being racially oppressed, much less liberated. To be sure, a Japanese American farmer in the remote Southwestern desert town of Black Rock is murdered soon after the bombing of Pearl Harbor, but this happens four years before the film's "bad day" and is thus never shown. All the characters are white, and the protagonist Macreedy is an unlikely champion of racial justice, a luckless veteran so badly injured in combat that he has lost the use of an arm. The absence of Japanese Americans in Bad Day at Black Rock acknowledges the historical reality of a policy by which a central government removed and relocated a subject racial community. An absence in a space from which people have been removed can go unnoticed—which is of course what the oppressor wants—or it can be recognized as a site of oppression and thus can provoke political and cultural action. I argue here that Sturges' film, which I approach through Rea Tajiri's 1991 documentary film History and Memory, achieves at least a rare recognition of injustice.1 0026-3079/2003/4401-099S2.50/0 American Studies, 44:1-2 (Spring/Summer 2003): 99-119 99 100 John Streamas History and Memory is an experimental film, a quilted reconstruction of Tajiri's mother's memory of wartime relocation and her own construction of the war, set against the dominant narrative of relocation and incarceration.

World War Ii and Us Cinema
ABSTRACT Title of Document: WORLD WAR II AND U.S. CINEMA: RACE, NATION, AND REMEMBRANCE IN POSTWAR FILM, 1945-1978 Robert Keith Chester, Ph.D., 2011 Co-Directed By: Dr. Gary Gerstle, Professor of History, Vanderbilt University Dr. Nancy Struna, Professor of American Studies, University of Maryland, College Park This dissertation interrogates the meanings retrospectively imposed upon World War II in U.S. motion pictures released between 1945 and the mid-1970s. Focusing on combat films and images of veterans in postwar settings, I trace representations of World War II between war‘s end and the War in Vietnam, charting two distinct yet overlapping trajectories pivotal to the construction of U.S. identity in postwar cinema. The first is the connotations attached to U.S. ethnoracial relations – the presence and absence of a multiethnic, sometimes multiracial soldiery set against the hegemony of U.S. whiteness – in depictions of the war and its aftermath. The second is Hollywood‘s representation (and erasure) of the contributions of the wartime Allies and the ways in which such images engaged with and negotiated postwar international relations. Contrary to notions of a ―good war‖ untainted by ambiguity or dissent, I argue that World War II gave rise to a conflicted cluster of postwar meanings. At times, notably in the early postwar period, the war served as a progressive summons to racial reform. At other times, the war was inscribed as a historical moment in which U.S. racism was either nonexistent or was laid permanently to rest. In regard to the Allies, I locate a Hollywood dialectic between internationalist and unilateralist remembrances.
