Oriental Paradise Audience Reviews

Reptileenbu Did you people see the same film I saw?
AnhartLinkin This story has more twists and turns than a second-rate soap opera.
Ginger Very good movie overall, highly recommended. Most of the negative reviews don't have any merit and are all pollitically based. Give this movie a chance at least, and it might give you a different perspective.
Curt Watching it is like watching the spectacle of a class clown at their best: you laugh at their jokes, instigate their defiance, and "ooooh" when they get in trouble.
Michael_Elliott Oriental Paradise (1936) *** (out of 4) This entry of James A. FitzPatrick's TravelTalks series is a rather unique one as he talks very little and instead lets us just take in the various views of Japan. Early on we visit several flower farms and we then learn that in Japan they make all of their plants look like three things: the Heavens, Man and Earth. We learn that each plant as its own arrangement and that girls take a course in plants/flowers at their school. We also visit a deer park where Budda told people to love "dumb creatures" like deers. The interesting thing is seeing the deers walk up to the humans and eat out of their hands. I don't think there's any doubt that this here is one of the better entries in the series as the Technicolor really brings the life everything we see including the extremely impressive flower farms. The deer park is another sharp thing to look at and as usual FitzPatrick has the perfect voice to tell the stories.
