Oh, you mean like denying the Holocaust happened? Besides being stupid for not paying attention to literally tons of evidence, the only other motivations are pretty bloody dark. Spreading such lies are truly closer to the real meaning of “ propaganda” and those that defend fascism are a danger to all.
Yes, it's FICTION, a "what if" that can even make you ask if real history is ok. The book was better (as usual) but it's NOT propaganda, in fact it sends it up. This movie doesn't capture the book (characters are not as we thought of them). Let's read it again & see how it works. A confusing movie, but thanks for giving us a medium of comparison.
The scenes where March is with his son, teaching him to say grace at breakfast instead of reciting the Hitler youth oath, and later when his son was repeating propaganda about how handicapped kids would be better off dead, and March told him the story about the clockmaker, were very moving and poingnant. And John Shrapnels portrayal of Globus was chilling.
@@longiusaescius2537 I'm afraid you missed the point of that scene, which is a father struggling to pass onto his son timeless values and truth in a nightmarish situation.

@@kevinloving606 well there's "the man in the high castle" although different plots but the concept remains the same: nazis winning the war. It's a pretty great show already on it's 3rd season.
would never work today. the entire premise is utterly naive by today's standards. everyone is now fully aware of the enormous capacity for human self-deception. in reality, viewing those photos at the end, most people would be like "this is nothing its just people who died of typhus, how sad, its all the Russians fault." lol
I heard an architectural analysis of that gigantic domed building, They claimed because of the design and the mass of people it was built to accommodate, there would be rain indoors.
The scene with Anna...."they were resettled...IN THE AIR."... A chilling glimpse into the mind of a female psychopath. Who...like so many of her kind was a legend in no one's mind but her own. Who hated others for their success while blaming them for her failures.
NO LIE sent shivers down my spine. As an America Jew in his mid 50's I found this movie to stir every emotion I had. I felt for the HAUER Character also. You know not all German soldiers were SS like. Same with the Submariners A lot of them were out to see most of the war and their losses were staggering. My father was a bubblehead in the US navy.
nether at the film, nether at the book, it doen't explain why nazis were against the jews. Ok, nazis believe at the supreme german race, compare with others, but for exable, they do not kill all the polish, they do not kill all the french, they do not kill all the hungarians, etc. Why they hate so much only the jews? What was the reason for such a hate? Nether to the book, nether at the film, give this answer.
Seeing modern ( in the 1960's ) buildings and cars with Gestapo uniforms in the middle and ads for the Beatles is completely surreal... I never thought Nazis and rock'n'roll would work but hey... Excellent movie, thank you so much for that...I never knew it existed...
Thank you for posting this film, I wish they would do a remake. I say that ONLY if they plan on adhering more to the book and how like in this film. It puts you in the decade with the backdrop, good feel.
Although the thought of a Nazi Europe is gruesome, this film is a brilliantly acted classic, Rutger Hauer gives one of his best performances and Peter Vaughan too!
People are nitpicking way too much into this film!! It was a simple"what if" fiction story. It was not made with a Hollywood blockbuster budget nor did it have to focus on every little aspect of WW2, and 9 times out of 10 movies don't follow their original book counterparts from which they are based down to the last letter. That would take forever, that is why movies are EDITED. Stop getting bogged down in technicalities and enjoy the film! By the way the addition of the Nazi Triumphal Arch and the Albert Speer dome to Berlin were very well done. For tv movie production this was certainly not bad. Plus with great actors like Rutger Hauer and Peter Vaughan, it was extra enjoyable! So there!
I think it’s wonderful that people upload films and take the time to offer this material for free I can’t believe how people in the comment section can be so nasty, if you don’t like the film don’t watch it it’s just entertainment be grateful you’ve got it free!!!

It's actually rather comforting when the idiots you oppose prove your point with their every inbred utterance. Thanks, mate!
Tony D I'm agreeing with you man! That documentary is 100% trash. I'm sorry but it has literally autistic quality, only alt-right "ubermensch" buy into that crap. I've watched and read over 1000 hours of WW2 crap and I can tell you that the ignorance some people have about history makes me want to shoot myself.
Funny thing is that when they start talking about jews, showing people marching in the snow, they actually aren't them. They are the Italians, Germans, Hungarians and Romanians captured by the soviets after the fall of Stalingrad.
@ARMED DEFENSE no but that you could have chossen so much actualy fottage of the horrors of the holocoust but choose to show the horror inflicted by the one of the socalled good guys
This should be made into a TV series over four seasons with ten episodes per series/season like the Man in the High Castle book has been then you could actually have a great adaptation of the book instead of a rushed film that misses most of the book..
Juntasification yeah I'd be cool if they could do a remake so it's less cringworthy and is more book based with today's technology and techniques it'd also look a hell of a lot better
SS GB, a British TV series managed to capture what this film didn't. It's a shame that this wasn't made as a big screen film rather than a TV film as it just doesn't do the book justice. Some great actors in here but I don't know if it's the directing, lack of budget or whatever that leaves it lacking. Good to see 'Grouchy' in it. Always a menacing chap in his mannerisms. (For those under 50 or overseas, look up porridge. An incredible 70's series)
I thought the actors were very good but yes I think direction wasn’t as good as it could of been and it was nice to see the guy from porridge, I think I saw him in game of thrones too , he’s a great actor
My tiny claim to fame is that I knew the actor playing the part of the fake porter, Charlie De'Ath. He stayed in the same hostel as me in the mid to late 80s.
Even if this wasn't set in a fascinating alternate time-line, its still an interesting story hands down. Now in 2019, everyone's doing the "what if Germany had won"? Books & TV.
We have our own version called what it Biden Won. O fun he did or s they say he did. Just like they say Hitler Was voted in.that election was also rigged
I am glad this was posted, THX, I have been wanting to see this for some time. It isa very good thriller. Reguer Heur is in excellent .I recalled reading the book, it gives more back ground about Germania and Hitler.
Robert Harris' Fatherland is a fantastic work of historical fiction and was I completely engrossed while reading it and could not put it down. However, this adaptation was very poorly done and not convincing at all. The biggest glaring problem was that this adaptation lacked any 'German' feel whatsoever. Nazi Germany was German and the characters in this movie should have acted, sounded and felt like Germans rather than just a bunch of American actors running around in Nazi uniforms. There is a way about the German people that is unmistakable and this movie completely lacked that. If the producers of this movie concentrated more on this detail rather than trying to create all those images of Hitler's Germania the result would have been much better.
I'm just 50 minutes into it and very bored with the film (I did not know a book existed). First of all, "Why would there be a 'cold war'?' Secondly, 'Hitler would have obliterated the Soviet Union using the new weapons his people were developing' Thirdly, 'He would not have cared one iota on having a summit with a man who made his fortune dealing with the mob and illegal booze. He who abstained from alcohol would have found the notion of meeting Kennedy repulsive, and for what purpose?' He had beaten the western powers including the USA and he would be calling the shots. A basic problem with 'novels' such as this is that the writers assume the USA would have remained a major player in world affairs. I'm not a prejudiced person but this film comes across as most Hollywood films do and to be frank there is in my opinion a very strong Jewish influence in it's production.
@@MajorWolfgangHochstetter EVERYONE IS A CRITIC. AS FOR AMERICAN ACTORS- HAUER AND RICHARDSON ARE NOT AMERICAN- NICE. IT IS HARD TO PLAY FICTION PERFECTLY BECAUSE IT IS FICTION. DAMN. MAYBE YOU NEED A LITTLE COMPREHENSION AID?
another film Rutger Hauer appeared in was “Inside the Third Reich”, where he portrayed Albert Speer, Hitler’s close friend and architect. Rutger Hauer was a phenomenal actor, with an ability to take on a wide variety of roles.
It would be interesting to know what happened to Xavier March in our timeline. Of course, it's possible he didn't even survive the war. His boss, Arthur Nebe, died in 1945 in this timeline. Nebe was directly involved in the Holocaust.
2020. Now there’s a year I wouldn’t want to revisit again. Wonder how the Nazis would have handled Covid? (Oh yeah - just look at what China did to clean up their mess).
Thanks for the upload. I enjoyed watching it. I enjoyed it for what it is: an entertaining way to pass a couple of a couple of hours. I don't pay any attention to this film's detractors as if they could do any better.
Full Life 3 It is rumored that in our timeline, Stalin was assassinated by Soviet higher-ups who could no longer tolerate his hardass attitude and frequent purges once the war was over. In this timeline the war rages on, hence he is still popular and thus, no assassination.
I read the book almost 20 years ago and thought then it would make a good movie but now it turns out The Man in the High Castle came along and lived up to everything this could have been.
I enjoyed MITHC, but the idea that Japan and Germany could occupy the United States is wholly unbelievable. This alt history is a bit more believable. I think this book/movie was a bit off too. Even if the D-Day invasion had failed Germany was still too extended in Russia and were doomed to failure.
@@dbcichetti Well in the book they dont break the enigma and they destroy the entire 150k allied soldiers on the beaches of Normandy. I think that could have made a reasonable difference. Also Germany made nukes at the same time US did so they didn't want to fight as Germany had ICBM tech with the V3 rockets.
@Jebu911 it is too many what ifs. I don't see Germany being able to cross the Atlantic with a large invasion force. Even if they did, the USA is too large to occupy. 1940s America was too well supplied from within. The US could not he blockaded and starved into submission. The Russia factor would need to be solved too. I forget how they dealt with that in book/series, but Russia was equally unoccupiable.
the last third of the movie seemed pretty weak. Like dude spends his whole life believing hes the good guys, even becomes a major (even tho thats not technically an ss rank) of the political party of the nazis as a cop. Then he sees like 3 pictures and hears some words off some papers, doesnt even read the papers, from some random journalist from a country that was at one time at war with germany and doesnt think for more than 2 seconds that this could be some bs. Yeah I get he was the whole movie like 'idk about these gestapo guys', but the way it turns from one sketchy murder to finding out the final solution in 10 like minutes and then somehow nobodys heard of that in like 20 years. And then the president of the US does the same exact thing moments before a big alliance and just dips, and that somehow means the reich ends even tho it seems like they were doing pretty good without that alliance to begin with. Concept was v good just super underwhelming and cliche
I love to watch movies like this. My father used to watch movies like this, and documentaries about Hitler and the nazis. My father is no longer alive, but I'm now left watching them.
In 1932 Joseph Kennedy convinced William Randolph Hearst to support FDR, saying Roosevelt was an isolationist and fiscal conservative.. In return Kennedy expected FDR to support him succeeding Roosevelt after his two terms were up in 1940.
LEOMARKAABLE-----I believe that's by DESIGN; after all BOTH ARE TOTALITARIAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!! --THE WORLDS--REAL post-war Germany is Democratic!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
stormywindmill also there's no point in abandoning the war if d day failed. At a maximum 100 thousand American and allied forces would have been killed. There's still over 1 million in Great Britain and hundreds of thousand of allied and American troops in Italy. The German forces wouldn't have the extra resources to spare to fortify the western front while fighting in the east let alone push the allies back on two fronts
If D-Day had failed the American forces would have regrouped and staged ANOTHER invasion from a different location. The Americans and British Air Forces had clear air superiority and the German army was decimated. It would have looked different logitically but the alllies would have won.
I've had my issues with exactly how this world came about, they're pretty vague about it, but other than that it's always been an excellent and entertaining film. Of all the Nazi films I've seen, this one always stands out. I'm not going to bash it for being worse than the much better book of course, because I know that's not how films work, they're never like their books, when there are books at all to base them on. But for it's time and content, I would say this is a film worth watching.
@@cleanerben9636 most nazi alt history is them flying ufos over a conquered DC when in reality itd most likely be a cold war but with the germans in place of the russians.
I mean, the Soviets would have steam rolled over the Nazis one way or another, tehy had more tranks, planes and soldiers, more artillery and more reliable technology.
NOTE TO CRITICS: If you've never had to edit a movie, commercial or news story, you probably don't understand how extremely difficult it is to cram a a 400-page book's worth of material into a 90-minute film, much less a major news story into 3-minute segment. Vast amounts of detail and context must be sacrificed due to time constraints -- even in multi-episode miniseries. Reading a book is an inherently different experience than watching a movie. Both media are capable of great things...but they will never be the same.
Amazing how many on here don't appear to have heard of Robert Harris...the author...the book came out in 1992...sold by the bucket load. There is a BBC radio4extra drama of the book starring Anton Lesser...it is excellent and more atmospheric than the film. The film however did well in its critical aclaim...and was nominated for an Emmy...
The premise the allies losing the war against Germany is hilarious. The Soviets wouldn't have stopped the push against the Germans and they just would ave extended the war long enough to be nuked by America
True enough. After Stalingrad and Kursk, Zhukov and the Red Army were not going to stop, until they reached Berlin. And had the Normandy invasion failed, the Allies already had taken Italy and the South of France, so they would have simply pressed on to Germany from there.
@@starguy2718yep. The war would have ended maybe a year or two later, and the ussr would have a better starting position for the cold war. That’s about it
Good film, I first saw it years ago, very different and well shot considering a small budget. There's some top notch actors too, I think I'll get the book now.
@12:20 I love the one black guy in the whole movie is on a bus. AND sitting at the front of it. I guess even the Nazis of 1964 were pretty cool guys. But that one black dude does have the look on his face of "I think I'm lost. I was trying to take the 74 to get some Popeyes?"
Well during the Olympics that were hosted by Nazi Germany they suspended their antiJewish program until the Olympics were over So I think they'll suspend their racism until Hitler signs the agreement with Joe Kennedy.
Hitler was very hospitable and very polite when he met Jessie Owens, he shake hands with Jessie Owens, while the American president FDR, didn't even invite him to the white house, to congratulate him for the results in the 1936 Olympics, FDR not much later bid for Jessie support in the campaign, showing how much of a human garbage he was !
I have photos of blacks in the afrika corps and other units also there were a few Muslim divisions and not the Bosnian Muslims with blonde hair and blue eyes! There were more Indian than British Indian. It was the most diverse army ever!
The problem with Joe Kennedy being president in 1964 was that in Dec 1961 he suffered a massive stroke that confined him to a wheelchair. This likely came about when J. Edgar Hoover informed him about taped phone conversations between his son and Marilyn Monroe which if made public would have ruined John Kennedy's reelection.
An interesting thing to ask: Even if the Americans find out about the Holocaust, what will they do about it? Nuke the shit out of Germany, declare war? Do nothing? The ending really leaves it to your imagination!
Being that by the 1960's it was very much a nuclear armed world and also because Stalin was a bigger monster than Hitler, probably keep quiet about the knowledge obtained. The President would more than likely order the intel orgs to perform further studies and order the Joint Chiefs to provide possible military options and outcomes
Once President Joseph Kennedy and the American government knew about the Holocaust, the detente conference with Hitler was called off. The ending narration by Xavi's son Pili said that without an alliance with the United States, Hitler's government collapsed.
Never saw this movie but I remember reading the book when it first came out. If you think about it the scenario presented wasn’t much different than what actually happened. Instead of a nazi empire run by mass murderers we actually had a communist empire run by mass murderers that we had to deal with.
Well look, now we've got the "jack of trumps" mouthing his obnoxious splurge around the world, the organisation he's the puppet leader of, that was formed on genocide, hey, they just act like oh, that never happened, see any similarity? as always, peace out man.
igilistr If a ringing telephone in one of the buildings near Eisenwald Prison is answered, the caller will ask to speak with Mueller, possibly referencing a similar scene in Fatherland wherein the caller asks for 'Bühler'.
@@asianlifter Agreed, Fatherland as a movie and even more so as a novel is far more subdued, nuanced and much more realistic or at the very least is is certainly far closer to the truth than most speculative alternate history involving a post World War II Nazi Germany while The Man In The High Castle despite being an entertaining read is still somewhat naïve though that may be due to the fact do to the fact that the writer Philip K Dick understandably did not have access to the information that can be accessed now when the book was written in the 1960s, case in point, The entire premise of the novel of Nazi Germany occupying in the United States into the 1960s could not have happened in real life because Adolf Hitler had openly acknowledged in his private writings that the potential scenario of an invasion and occupation of the United States would not be realistically feasible for Germany to undertake until the year 1980 and that’s even if it would happen at all which is still highly unlikely even in the event of a Nazi victory in World War II. Wolfenstein is way too over the top to the point of absurdity, so over the top that it makes you appreciate man in the high castle as subtle by comparison, compared to Wolfenstein’s utter lack of subtlety... ESPECIALLY the new Wolfenstein video games which jump the shark altogether when it comes to suspension of disbelief.
My gta verse has an Antarctica so green coast and icy inland that it had Europeans to colonize those regions and green coast lands and German Empire established its Antarctic colony called New Swabia. After Germany lost ww1 alongside a larger slavocratic nation called Draka, a former Dutch, and British turned Neo Afrikaans and Neo British, and Neo confederacy with ancient slavery systems. With an investment of their wealth to science and innovation. Until the slaves revolted and Brazil took advantage and won the world war 1 Antarctic campaign against Draka. Draka turned into a federation. But its former slaves have no employment opportunities and the hardliners would soon revolt and inspired by fascism from Europe, Draka would lean on that path, and evolve their society from backwards to superpower. However, Draka allied with the Axis and aided Argentina to distract the rest of South America from aiding the Allies. Brazil especially. By having a defensive war. Draka doesn’t declare war against the allies. But aid the axis nations. With international volunteers. They also control South Africa and have the British too exhausted to spend more money for the war against Germany. Germany, Italy, Japan, and Argentina lost the war. But with these nations that lost and had its axis war criminals tried, only Draka and its Antarctic allies called for armistice with the Allies. As public opinion on the war is enough bloodshed and decided to end the war once and for all. Draka became the only axis power to survive and would challenge Brazil as its major rival due to world war 1. As well as its abolitionist policies. New Swabia housed Nazis that escaped justice from Europe. They were allowing Germans who were affected by the war to resettle in New Swabia. New Swabia continues the legacy of the third Reich. With some policies that made the third Reich looked bad to the world. It focuses on thriving in the Cold War era of the world. Even with authoritarian rule.

An excellent cast but the plots and underlying messages from the book were mangled in this adaptation. E.g. Joe Kennedy was a notorious anti-Semite not the liberal hero portrayed here.
Which is possibly why in this adaptation he was friendly with Hitler until at the end when he saw those photos. Anti Semite or not I don't think he would have been all for the extermination of millions of Jews.
Robert Harris owes a great deal to a 1978 novel by Len Deighton, SS-GB, which has a similar story including a detective. That earlier novel was also made into a TV series. The voice over at the start of this TV movie is surprisingly terrible, and rather sets the style for the whole thing. Both novels deserve a decent movie treatment.
the book had an element of speculation based on the novelist Harris' expertise as an historian of the Third Reich... the movie, while good, misses this deeper question- what if Reinhard Heydrich had survived the assassination attempt. his efficiencies...
March's conversation with Charly around 1:23:00 - eerily similar to the android's dying monologue with Decker at the end of 'Blade Runner'. Rutger Hauer was a wildly underestimated actor.

would never work today. the entire premise is utterly naive by today's standards. everyone is now fully aware of the enormous capacity for human self-deception. in reality, viewing those photos at the end, most people would be like "this is nothing its just people who died of typhus, how sad, its all the Russians fault." lol
I heard an architectural analysis of that gigantic domed building, They claimed because of the design and the mass of people it was built to accommodate, there would be rain indoors.
There would have been clouds In the ceiling I heard
It would be disgusting, salaiva raining down.

The scene with Anna...."they were resettled...IN THE AIR."...
A chilling glimpse into the mind of a female psychopath. Who...like so many of her kind was a legend in no one's mind but her own. Who hated others for their success while blaming them for her failures.
Jean Marsh was great!
NO LIE sent shivers down my spine. As an America Jew in his mid 50's I found this movie to stir every emotion I had. I felt for the HAUER Character also. You know not all German soldiers were SS like. Same with the Submariners A lot of them were out to see most of the war and their losses were staggering. My father was a bubblehead in the US navy.
nether at the film, nether at the book, it doen't explain why nazis were against the jews. Ok, nazis believe at the supreme german race, compare with others, but for exable, they do not kill all the polish, they do not kill all the french, they do not kill all the hungarians, etc.
Why they hate so much only the jews?
What was the reason for such a hate?
Nether to the book, nether at the film, give this answer.
@@omoios_gr , hating the Jews was away of uniting people in doing wrong to others
@Cheryl de Boissiere if 400+ nightclubs kick me out maybe there a problem with my actions
"Reseteled in ze air...smoke" Damn that line is chilling.
Jean Marsh was awesome in her small but significant part!
I like that.. resettled in the air. Perfect place for em
The Kennedy family must have HATED this.
Seeing modern ( in the 1960's ) buildings and cars with Gestapo uniforms in the middle and ads for the Beatles is completely surreal...

It's an alternate timeline
Thank you for posting this film, I wish they would do a remake. I say that ONLY if they plan on adhering more to the book and how like in this film. It puts you in the decade with the backdrop, good feel.
Although the thought of a Nazi Europe is gruesome, this film is a brilliantly acted classic, Rutger Hauer gives one of his best performances and Peter Vaughan too!
Are you a nazi
People are nitpicking way too much into this film!! It was a simple"what if" fiction story. It was not made with a Hollywood blockbuster budget nor did it have to focus on every little aspect of WW2, and 9 times out of 10 movies don't follow their original book counterparts from which they are based down to the last letter. That would take forever, that is why movies are EDITED. Stop getting bogged down in technicalities and enjoy the film! By the way the addition of the Nazi Triumphal Arch and the Albert Speer dome to Berlin were very well done. For tv movie production this was certainly not bad. Plus with great actors like Rutger Hauer and Peter Vaughan, it was extra enjoyable! So there!
Some people are never happy. Yes, it has it's faults, so do most of my favourite films. And my favourite people too!
I think it’s wonderful that people upload films and take the time to offer this material for free I can’t believe how people in the comment section can be so nasty, if you don’t like the film don’t watch it it’s just entertainment be grateful you’ve got it free!!!
Geez, this comment section is one of the most depressing thing I've read in a while.

Funny thing is that when they start talking about jews, showing people marching in the snow, they actually aren't them. They are the Italians, Germans, Hungarians and Romanians captured by the soviets after the fall of Stalingrad.

celtic shaman 365mhz Research? You mean you watched “The Greatest Story Never Told” and “Zeitgeist” and assumed it was all true?
Michael kitchen,Rutger Hauer,Peter Vaughan all brilliant actors including John Shrapnel and John woodvine
This should be made into a TV series over four seasons with ten episodes per series/season like the Man in the High Castle book has been then you could actually have a great adaptation of the book instead of a rushed film that misses most of the book..
The book is a hell of lot better than this movie.
True
Also, from i read, that journalist girl had survived and Zavi got "Bolivian army ending" with Gestapo at site of Auschwitz.
Juntasification yeah I'd be cool if they could do a remake so it's less cringworthy and is more book based with today's technology and techniques it'd also look a hell of a lot better
Says you. It was up for awards or did you miss that. I liked both book and the movie.
Juntasification we can add a bit in to. Show a Stalinesque Soviet leader..Merkhel could do that role
SS GB, a British TV series managed to capture what this film didn't. It's a shame that this wasn't made as a big screen film rather than a TV film as it just doesn't do the book justice. Some great actors in here but I don't know if it's the directing, lack of budget or whatever that leaves it lacking. Good to see 'Grouchy' in it. Always a menacing chap in his mannerisms. (For those under 50 or overseas, look up porridge. An incredible 70's series)
I thought the actors were very good but yes I think direction wasn’t as good as it could of been and it was nice to see the guy from porridge, I think I saw him in game of thrones too , he’s a great actor
Peter Vaughn. The "genial" Harry Grout "Grouty". Porridge is one of the best ever.
SS GB was bollox compared to this, this was the last TV movie that Britain managed to make that was both well acted and well scripted.
His rendition of God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen in an Xmas edition of Porridge is hilarious and chilling at the same time! @@neilreading3552
Didn’t know Peter Vaughan was in game of thrones are you sure?
My tiny claim to fame is that I knew the actor playing the part of the fake porter, Charlie De'Ath. He stayed in the same hostel as me in the mid to late 80s.
I've been wanting to watch this movie for a very, very long time. Thanks for uploading it!!!!!
When I see this movie, I expect the actor in this film to say. "Didn't you get the memo?"
Or, I want more life father.
It's all a bit technical but...
Batman begins
Even if this wasn't set in a fascinating alternate time-line, its still an interesting story hands down. Now in 2019, everyone's doing the "what if Germany had won"? Books & TV.
We have our own version called what it Biden Won. O fun he did or s they say he did. Just like they say Hitler Was voted in.that election was also rigged
Fascinating movie. I appreciate you posting it.
Thank you for sharing this! RIP, Rutger.
I am glad this was posted, THX, I have been wanting to see this for some time. It isa very good thriller. Reguer Heur is in excellent .I recalled reading the book, it gives more back ground about Germania and Hitler.
This was the movie that introduced me to alternate history.
Just learned Mirander Richardson got a golden globe for this. Deserved I think.
Robert Harris' Fatherland is a fantastic work of historical fiction and was I completely engrossed while reading it and could not put it down. However, this adaptation was very poorly done and not convincing at all. The biggest glaring problem was that this adaptation lacked any 'German' feel whatsoever. Nazi Germany was German and the characters in this movie should have acted, sounded and felt like Germans rather than just a bunch of American actors running around in Nazi uniforms. There is a way about the German people that is unmistakable and this movie completely lacked that. If the producers of this movie concentrated more on this detail rather than trying to create all those images of Hitler's Germania the result would have been much better.
I'm just 50 minutes into it and very bored with the film (I did not know a book existed). First of all, "Why would there be a 'cold war'?' Secondly, 'Hitler would have obliterated the Soviet Union using the new weapons his people were
developing' Thirdly, 'He would not have cared one iota on having a summit with a man who made his fortune dealing with the mob and illegal booze. He who abstained from alcohol would have found the notion of meeting Kennedy
repulsive, and for what purpose?' He had beaten the western powers including the USA and he would be calling the shots. A basic problem with 'novels' such as this is that the writers assume the USA would have remained a major
player in world affairs. I'm not a prejudiced person but this film comes across as most Hollywood films do and to be frank there is in my opinion a very strong Jewish influence in it's production.
@@MajorWolfgangHochstetter Show me on the doll where the Jew hurt you
Actually, a lot of Germans speak such good English, that they have a pretty obvious American or British accent when speaking English.

another film Rutger Hauer appeared in was “Inside the Third Reich”, where he portrayed Albert Speer, Hitler’s close friend and architect. Rutger Hauer was a phenomenal actor, with an ability to take on a wide variety of roles.
An underrated alt history film IMO. I liked how it takes into account some of the controversial people like Joseph Kennedy Sr.
Interesting but disturbing film. One of those “what if’s?”.
It would be interesting to know what happened to Xavier March in our timeline. Of course, it's possible he didn't even survive the war. His boss, Arthur Nebe, died in 1945 in this timeline. Nebe was directly involved in the Holocaust.

Thanks for the upload. I enjoyed watching it. I enjoyed it for what it is: an entertaining way to pass a couple of a couple of hours.
I don't pay any attention to this film's detractors as if they could do any better.
What i want to know is how did the war still continuing magically lengthen Stalin's lifespan?
Full Life 3 It is rumored that in our timeline, Stalin was assassinated by Soviet higher-ups who could no longer tolerate his hardass attitude and frequent purges once the war was over. In this timeline the war rages on, hence he is still popular and thus, no assassination.
Gripping, well-acted and extremely well written.
Er...no
Badly scripted, averagely acted and poorly rewritten for the screen
I like the part where the Fatherland said: "It's fatherlanding time." And fatherlanded all over the place
Jon snow found out he was aemon targarian but he still didn't know that he was in the SS before going to the wall
good call
This is way more accurate than Man On A High Castle.
It’s certainly closer to the truth than most speculative alternate history involving a post World War II Nazi Germany.
This is much better than "man in the high castle"
I read the book almost 20 years ago and thought then it would make a good movie but now it turns out The Man in the High Castle came along and lived up to everything this could have been.
Todd J Piascik I am very intrigued about your 1929 residence in Connecticut. And you're cute too!!
TMITHC is trash, both as a novel and TV series
I enjoyed MITHC, but the idea that Japan and Germany could occupy the United States is wholly unbelievable. This alt history is a bit more believable. I think this book/movie was a bit off too. Even if the D-Day invasion had failed Germany was still too extended in Russia and were doomed to failure.
@@dbcichetti Well in the book they dont break the enigma and they destroy the entire 150k allied soldiers on the beaches of Normandy. I think that could have made a reasonable difference. Also Germany made nukes at the same time US did so they didn't want to fight as Germany had ICBM tech with the V3 rockets.
@Jebu911 it is too many what ifs. I don't see Germany being able to cross the Atlantic with a large invasion force. Even if they did, the USA is too large to occupy. 1940s America was too well supplied from within. The US could not he blockaded and starved into submission. The Russia factor would need to be solved too. I forget how they dealt with that in book/series, but Russia was equally unoccupiable.
An intriguing and suspenseful movie, based on a novel by a great author. Hey, it may have happened in a a parallel timeline.
the last third of the movie seemed pretty weak. Like dude spends his whole life believing hes the good guys, even becomes a major (even tho thats not technically an ss rank) of the political party of the nazis as a cop. Then he sees like 3 pictures and hears some words off some papers, doesnt even read the papers, from some random journalist from a country that was at one time at war with germany and doesnt think for more than 2 seconds that this could be some bs. Yeah I get he was the whole movie like 'idk about these gestapo guys', but the way it turns from one sketchy murder to finding out the final solution in 10 like minutes and then somehow nobodys heard of that in like 20 years. And then the president of the US does the same exact thing moments before a big alliance and just dips, and that somehow means the reich ends even tho it seems like they were doing pretty good without that alliance to begin with.
Concept was v good just super underwhelming and cliche
its a work of fiction, its certainly not perfect
Read the book.
Thank you for uploading this.
I just finished the book.. now im watching this.. im freakinf obsessed
Netflix needs to make a limited series of the book.
And watch them make Hitler a black man
I think here's the reason why Stalin still lead the Soviet Union. The Doctor's Plot never happened resulting Joseph Stalin still alive.
This movie is aweaome cheers for the upload :)
An awesome alt history book and film adaptation.
Deep. I like how they portray and highlight the competition, enmity and animosity shared between the SS and the Gestapo.
I love to watch movies like this. My father used to watch movies like this, and documentaries about Hitler and the nazis. My father is no longer alive, but I'm now left watching them.
In 1932 Joseph Kennedy convinced William Randolph Hearst to support FDR, saying Roosevelt was an isolationist and fiscal conservative.. In return Kennedy expected FDR to support him succeeding Roosevelt after his two terms were up in 1940.
One of my favourite films. It gives me chills every time.
if this was made in 94, one year after jurassic park why does the video quality look like its made in the 70s?
Half-assed Budget & Organisation (HBO)
well the director was no spielberg.
Because it took place in the 60s
because its a UA-cam video
Probably recorded on a VHS tape set to 6 hour, like everyone did back then.
I herd this was a powerful drama thanks for posting it I will watch it. Different twist on history.
Been looking for this movie, thank you for posting!
Post war Germany, in this novel, resembles nothing so much as East Germany with money.
LEOMARKAABLE-----I believe that's by DESIGN; after all BOTH ARE TOTALITARIAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
--THE WORLDS--REAL post-war Germany is Democratic!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
@Redsand ---SORY--?????
And it was a good move
If D Day had failed , the atomic bomb was only 14 months away I'm sure it would have been used on Germany to snatch victory from the jaws of defeat .
According to the Wikipedia synopsis, in the novel, D-Day didn't happen.
Ciarán Masterson no it did... But it failed....
The movie even expressed that.
stormywindmill also there's no point in abandoning the war if d day failed. At a maximum 100 thousand American and allied forces would have been killed. There's still over 1 million in Great Britain and hundreds of thousand of allied and American troops in Italy. The German forces wouldn't have the extra resources to spare to fortify the western front while fighting in the east let alone push the allies back on two fronts
bob laryson It took years to plan dday. If the landing failed it would take years to plan another invasion after the failure of the first one
If D-Day had failed the American forces would have regrouped and staged ANOTHER invasion from a different location. The Americans and British Air Forces had clear air superiority and the German army was decimated. It would have looked different logitically but the alllies would have won.
I've had my issues with exactly how this world came about, they're pretty vague about it, but other than that it's always been an excellent and entertaining film. Of all the Nazi films I've seen, this one always stands out. I'm not going to bash it for being worse than the much better book of course, because I know that's not how films work, they're never like their books, when there are books at all to base them on. But for it's time and content, I would say this is a film worth watching.
Putin is now trying to change the coming "New Order" he totally hates the US
it's the most mundane alt-history imo which is why it stands out. The premise is fairly realistic.
@@cleanerben9636 most nazi alt history is them flying ufos over a conquered DC when in reality itd most likely be a cold war but with the germans in place of the russians.
I mean, the Soviets would have steam rolled over the Nazis one way or another, tehy had more tranks, planes and soldiers, more artillery and more reliable technology.
@@patricklarm5462 because of allied support but your point still is valid.
NOTE TO CRITICS: If you've never had to edit a movie, commercial or news story, you probably don't understand how extremely difficult it is to cram a a 400-page book's worth of material into a 90-minute film, much less a major news story into 3-minute segment. Vast amounts of detail and context must be sacrificed due to time constraints -- even in multi-episode miniseries.
Reading a book is an inherently different experience than watching a movie. Both media are capable of great things...but they will never be the same.
It should be a war crime for uploading in 480p
Louis Buchenwald you realize the movie was made in 94? Higher resolution wouldn’t help at all... 480p was what you got
Amazing how many on here don't appear to have heard of Robert Harris...the author...the book came out in 1992...sold by the bucket load. There is a BBC radio4extra drama of the book starring Anton Lesser...it is excellent and more atmospheric than the film. The film however did well in its critical aclaim...and was nominated for an Emmy...
His book Munich is garbage imho!
I love Robert Harris and will get the book in paperback to read it.
The premise the allies losing the war against Germany is hilarious. The Soviets wouldn't have stopped the push against the Germans and they just would ave extended the war long enough to be nuked by America
True enough. After Stalingrad and Kursk, Zhukov and the Red Army were not going to stop, until they reached Berlin.
And had the Normandy invasion failed, the Allies already had taken Italy and the South of France, so they would have simply pressed on to Germany from there.
@@starguy2718yep. The war would have ended maybe a year or two later, and the ussr would have a better starting position for the cold war. That’s about it
The woman saying, "up in schmoke" still creeps me out.

Good film, I first saw it years ago, very different and well shot considering a small budget. There's some top notch actors too, I think I'll get the book now.
@12:20 I love the one black guy in the whole movie is on a bus. AND sitting at the front of it. I guess even the Nazis of 1964 were pretty cool guys. But that one black dude does have the look on his face of "I think I'm lost. I was trying to take the 74 to get some Popeyes?"
Well during the Olympics that were hosted by Nazi Germany they suspended their antiJewish program until the Olympics were over So I think they'll suspend their racism until Hitler signs the agreement with Joe Kennedy.
Lance goodthrust Popeye chicken? Bigoted idiots never fail to belittle or stay hidden. A small illiterate male
nah he had his "i'm gonna pull my strap out and rob all these whities" face....lol jk
Hitler was very hospitable and very polite when he met Jessie Owens, he shake hands with Jessie Owens, while the American president FDR, didn't even invite him to the white house, to congratulate him for the results in the 1936 Olympics, FDR not much later bid for Jessie support in the campaign, showing how much of a human garbage he was !

The problem with Joe Kennedy being president in 1964 was that in Dec 1961 he suffered a massive stroke that confined him to a wheelchair. This likely came about when J. Edgar Hoover informed him about taped phone conversations between his son and Marilyn Monroe which if made public would have ruined John Kennedy's reelection.
Hoover never told Joe anything about Marilyn?????
I think the death of his first son sent his health in a downward spiral
Karma struck Joe Kennedy for what he had done to his poor daughter, Rosemary!
Yeah disgraceful and in case u didn't know Hitler lost the war too
@@fatimaachebly1279was Hoover a trans?
An interesting thing to ask:
Even if the Americans find out about the Holocaust, what will they do about it? Nuke the shit out of Germany, declare war? Do nothing? The ending really leaves it to your imagination!
Being that by the 1960's it was very much a nuclear armed world and also because Stalin was a bigger monster than Hitler, probably keep quiet about the knowledge obtained. The President would more than likely order the intel orgs to perform further studies and order the Joint Chiefs to provide possible military options and outcomes
Once President Joseph Kennedy and the American government knew about the Holocaust, the detente conference with Hitler was called off. The ending narration by Xavi's son Pili said that without an alliance with the United States, Hitler's government collapsed.
Can't discover something that you have personally made up.
The US could not have done anything if they wanted to maintain the peace. Besides, what Stalin did was much worse.
No commercials! No advertisers willing to step forward?
Agreed the book had kept me awake for hours, constantly wanting to smoke, drink coffee and Whisked and think of Charlie.... with her camera
RIP Rutger do not care what movie he was good
Never saw this movie but I remember reading the book when it first came out. If you think about it the scenario presented wasn’t much different than what actually happened. Instead of a nazi empire run by mass murderers we actually had a communist empire run by mass murderers that we had to deal with.
John Hall Hey, don't forget the American empire run by mass murderers. Nobody likes to be overlooked when it comes to death and destruction.
Well look, now we've got the "jack of trumps" mouthing his obnoxious splurge around the world, the organisation he's the puppet leader of, that was formed on genocide, hey, they just act like oh, that never happened, see any similarity? as always, peace out man.

Steve the Blood Raven man in the high castle and wolfenstein sucked balls in realism
@@asianlifter
Agreed, Fatherland as a movie and even more so as a novel is far more subdued, nuanced and much more realistic or at the very least is is certainly far closer to the truth than most speculative alternate history involving a post World War II Nazi Germany while The Man In The High Castle despite being an entertaining read is still somewhat naïve though that may be due to the fact do to the fact that the writer Philip K Dick understandably did not have access to the information that can be accessed now when the book was written in the 1960s, case in point, The entire premise of the novel of Nazi Germany occupying in the United States into the 1960s could not have happened in real life because Adolf Hitler had openly acknowledged in his private writings that the potential scenario of an invasion and occupation of the United States would not be realistically feasible for Germany to undertake until the year 1980 and that’s even if it would happen at all which is still highly unlikely even in the event of a Nazi victory in World War II. Wolfenstein is way too over the top to the point of absurdity, so over the top that it makes you appreciate man in the high castle as subtle by comparison, compared to Wolfenstein’s utter lack of subtlety... ESPECIALLY the new Wolfenstein video games which jump the shark altogether when it comes to suspension of disbelief.
This is alternative history. Like the man in the high castle.
Yeah, except this one's realistic.
Dogs piss on walls too.
My gta verse has an Antarctica so green coast and icy inland that it had Europeans to colonize those regions and green coast lands and German Empire established its Antarctic colony called New Swabia. After Germany lost ww1 alongside a larger slavocratic nation called Draka, a former Dutch, and British turned Neo Afrikaans and Neo British, and Neo confederacy with ancient slavery systems. With an investment of their wealth to science and innovation. Until the slaves revolted and Brazil took advantage and won the world war 1 Antarctic campaign against Draka. Draka turned into a federation. But its former slaves have no employment opportunities and the hardliners would soon revolt and inspired by fascism from Europe, Draka would lean on that path, and evolve their society from backwards to superpower. However, Draka allied with the Axis and aided Argentina to distract the rest of South America from aiding the Allies. Brazil especially. By having a defensive war. Draka doesn’t declare war against the allies. But aid the axis nations. With international volunteers. They also control South Africa and have the British too exhausted to spend more money for the war against Germany. Germany, Italy, Japan, and Argentina lost the war. But with these nations that lost and had its axis war criminals tried, only Draka and its Antarctic allies called for armistice with the Allies. As public opinion on the war is enough bloodshed and decided to end the war once and for all. Draka became the only axis power to survive and would challenge Brazil as its major rival due to world war 1. As well as its abolitionist policies. New Swabia housed Nazis that escaped justice from Europe. They were allowing Germans who were affected by the war to resettle in New Swabia. New Swabia continues the legacy of the third Reich. With some policies that made the third Reich looked bad to the world. It focuses on thriving in the Cold War era of the world. Even with authoritarian rule.
RIP Rutger Hauer!

@@anthonybeaumont7740well, voted for it anyway
An excellent cast but the plots and underlying messages from the book were mangled in this adaptation. E.g. Joe Kennedy was a notorious
anti-Semite not the liberal hero portrayed here.
lol he functionally was but ok boomer
Which is possibly why in this adaptation he was friendly with Hitler until at the end when he saw those photos. Anti Semite or not I don't think he would have been all for the extermination of millions of Jews.
Amazingly gripping, should remake this 👍
I enjoyed this movie...haven't read the book but it is unique in its timeline and Rutger was always underrated
I really recommend the book.
Robert Harris owes a great deal to a 1978 novel by Len Deighton, SS-GB, which has a similar story including a detective. That earlier novel was also made into a TV series. The voice over at the start of this TV movie is surprisingly terrible, and rather sets the style for the whole thing. Both novels deserve a decent movie treatment.
What happened to Czar Nicolas?
Well he died in 1918 so… still dead.
the book had an element of speculation based on the novelist Harris' expertise as an historian of the Third Reich... the movie, while good, misses this deeper question- what if Reinhard Heydrich had survived the assassination attempt. his efficiencies...
March's conversation with Charly around 1:23:00 - eerily similar to the android's dying monologue with Decker at the end of 'Blade Runner'. Rutger Hauer was a wildly underestimated actor.
OMG, Son. This movie is so freaking special. I don't know why they had'nt released this yet on DVD. Somebody needs to tell Shout! Factory to release this on DVD, pronto.
