The Man in The High Castle

Top tier camera work, good costumes, nice atmosphere, excellent acting, but fucking inaccuracy of Imperial Japan and National Socialist German portrayal. Let me point out few things wrong with it down there

1)Burning day of cripples when Joe Blake got intercepted by a cop in the first episode
Nazis wouldn't burn people every week and let their ashes fly. they would euthanise state dependant cripples within two fucking weeks, and probably wouldn't mind cripple existence if they have a private caretaker. There wouldn't be any weekly burnings.

inb4 nothing but hitler shilling and how he dindu nuffin

>what is Aktion T4

Impreial Japan wouldn't let corpses of state enemies let just rot in the ditch for sanitary reason. And political reasons also - why would you make it possible to find corpses of those murdered by the secret police? Thy would cremate them or experiment with them. Nips are efficient, see Unit 731

Learn to read, retard
"They would euthanase state dependant cripples within two fucking weeks"

no one cares about your autistic wikipedia knowledge thread about a fantasy series anyway you nerd. You dont even know what you are talking about

>fantasy series
Used to push oven and mass graves fetish of one particular group. Don't say that it's not political

3)after attempt on Japanese Crown Prince life, Japanese forces (and there were many around) let the public to run off in different places
4)there were blacks and chinese in Japanese Pacific States - not likely that Imperial Japan wouldn't deport them after getting control over the Eastern USA
5)they used deadly gas inside administration building to kill Frank Frink's family. How retarded and even possible that is?

This is a good thread. The show only has 3 likable characters though. 2 Tojos and Oppehneihne Smith

this is probably more a reference to what happened to the japanese civilians in okinawa when they hid in the caves as the americans approached.

>we will never get a world set in The Grasshopper Lies Heavy

Seems like a more interesting world desu, but that was a large part of the point.

>Nazis wouldn't burn people every week and let their ashes fly. they would euthanise state dependant cripples within two fucking weeks

They never said they were burning cripples ALIVE, numb-nuts.
It was cremation after euthanasia.

>5)they used deadly gas inside administration building to kill Frank Frink's family. How retarded and even possible that is?


Yeah bro, I forgot that poison gas doesn't exist.

Looks like shit.

Poison gas exists, but who the fuck uses it in the MAIN ADMINISTRATION building with tiny doors?

There wouldn't be ENOUGH cripples to euthanise them weekly(they would euthanise them all in the first weeks of their rule) in several bases around the country and burn after. Also Nazis wouldn't let the ashes to fly around as they were environmental guys.

Juliana seems nice

>but fucking inaccuracy of Imperial Japan and National Socialist German portrayal.

come on you had to know that going in it was going to like this

I agree 100% with your opinion OP. The inaccuracy that bothered me the most was the whole Bible being illegal thing, especially since it was a prominent plot point. The Nazis were all for freedom of religion and were pro-Christianity.

...

doesn't surprise me that the media choose not to understand Nazi culture as if it warrants the same procautions as reading about satanic worshipping

Who cares it's an adaptation of a book

>inaccuracy of Imperial Japan and National Socialist German portrayal
This takes place like twenty years after the war, though. You don't know what could have changed in that time.

Cartoon Nazis, user.

>The Nazis were all for freedom of religion

I'm Jewish, how free am I?

a perfect world

hello r.ato.

the protag in this show is completely unlikeable and dumb as shit and it pretty much ruins the entire show, which is a shame because the concept has a lot of potential

the old one i assume because the new one is shite

Freedom of European religions* Judaism is not one of those

But it's the only film adaptation of the book

>Let me point out few things wrong with it down there

>1. The NAZI's LOST the War.
>2. See above and repeat.

But, I... I... mmm a nnational socialisssst.

Daily reminder Hitler did nothing wrong.

Apart from plunging the planet into a bloodbath which caused the deaths of over 80 million people. He should have stuck to painting flowers and fucking his niece.

If we speak WWII its Churchill to spark it.

Arbeit.

So any other good shows available on Prime?

Also OP, please stop being autistic and just enjoy the show.

it's really weird how defensive people get if WW2 is brought up in any capacity

guessing it's just neurotic people

The entire show is silly and inaccurate because the idea of the Axis actually winning is dumber than any of your little nitpicks. It's a tv show, just stop pretending it's supposed to be even remotely realistic.

If not for the Soviet zerg rush, they would have won

>there are genuine American stormfags who wish their country was invaded and ruled by Nazi Germany

genuine cucks, being invaded and ruled by another country with a different culture is like raising another man's black son

They wouldn't. America wasn't even touched by the war. Even if soviets magically disappear from from existence, by the time when hitler fucks up the rest of the europe, USA would just finish him over.

Without Soviets Germany would have taken over Europe

This child doesn't known that at the time over 20% of the american population self identified as Germans. Most of them were only 2nd or 3rd generation in America.

Germany had no interest or intentions in taking over Europe.

Just Germanic Europe and Easatern Lebensraum. Which is everything, but Iberia and Balkans. Iberia and Balkans are not racially European. So all of Europe in racial way

Honestly I feel like this show didn't follow the spirit of the book. In the novel the Japanese are kind of portrayed as your average imperialists who are turning the west coast into a Japanese colony, but in the show they're all secret police and totalitarian regimes.

At any rate I think it's more valid to criticize the show's failure to live up to the spirit of the book rather than decry its plot holes.

does this show have any qt nazi girls bullying people?

Philip K. DIIIIIICK is a good author

too bad it would be almost impossible to make a movie or tv show out of ubik or three stigmata

I only have one major problem with this show, and that is that the word "obergruppenfuhrer" sounds hilarious to English speakers. There's no way the American SS wouldn't just have the English ranks or at least anglacized versions of the German ones.

DINDU NUFFIN

Yeah, that bugs me, too. That and I don't understand the fucking point of the show or the book, which I've read twice.

And whenever I pose that question—what is this about?—I never get a straight, coherent answer, only some backhanded, pretentious insult.

>but fucking inaccuracy of Imperial Japan and National Socialist German portrayal

I have yet to see it, I have read the book though, did they make the same mistake as DICK in ignoring the huge war efforts by Russia?

neither is christianity

>*tips ushanka*

>tips Fedorov Automat

> excellent acting

Top fucking kek!! The """"acting"""" of the boy and girl mc literally ruined the show

what is any book really about / what is the point of any book?

Compared to other stories by dick this one doesnt really have a spectacular ending - ubik, three stigmata, time out of joint etc. all have big revelations at the end - but in this after they meet abendsen the story doesnt really go anywhere - nothing happens, julia frink (or whatever her name was) just realises she lives in one of many possible worlds and it fills her both with dread as well as take the edge off for her.

So I guess the point of it - to me at least - is that nothing you really do or how horrible your life is matters, since there are other realities where things are better / the realisation that there are other realities dwarfs your shitty little problems.

It's about lots of other shit as well obviously like the cultural and social differences in particular between japs and westerners and the kind of spiritual aspect the iChing has brought to the US - and commentary about the jap obsession with americana.
Supposedly the stuff about frink selling jewellry is mostly dick coming to terms with having to do the same thing irl to make ends meet.

>I identify as a nationality of a country I've never visited purely because my grandparents were from there!

Stormcucks are almost as bad as tumblrites. Also by the 40s, American """culture""" was already a laughing stock by the British and Germans. You'd be nothing more than second class citizens in your own country, without having any say in its governance or liberty, simply existing to suck kraut cock

it's "the murikan jooz concoct another tale about a war they actually never felt obliged to participate in" episode
