The Man In The High Castle

[Aloha_Shooter]

Decided to re-watch Ridley Scott's "Final Cut" of "Blade Runner" after this discussion. I am still amazed at how wonderfully shot the movie is, the incredible use of light and shadow, and the superb acting (not to mention Philip K. Dick's typically deep complex thought-provoking plots). The amount of detail that went into their set design is just amazing. It's a shame it came out in the same year as "Gandhi", and "Tootsie" and "E.T." because it's far better than a number of the Oscar winners I've seen.

It sure is nice to have read the book first. This story is convoluted enough to make it confusing even having read the book.

The whole sister/step-sister thing is completely inconsequential. Minor made up character to further the plot.

I can't get past the premise of this book. The idea is supposed to be that the US won, but no one knows. How do you win a war but still let the other side conquer you?

Hint::: America as it stands today. Media propaganda

Never read the book. Loved watching the first season. Yes media does have something to do with the propaganda but I think there is something hinting at someone's will is so strong to alter reality for everyone else which is what I got out of the last episode unless I am understanding the plot line wrong.

With this weather, we'll probably binge it.

We don't have Amazon Prime so I haven't had a chance to see it but I'd like to. Read the book probably 35 years ago though, and liked it.

What's funny is that I had no idea this was being made. So I was on Yahoo one day and saw one of those "teaser" ads that said something like "Imagine what the US would be like if we lost WWII" and my first thought was "Huh, that's interesting. Kind of sounds like the plot to "The Man in the High Castle."
