- Fictional historical account of what might have happened if Adolf Hitler had won the Second World War. Germany has corralled all European countries into a single state called Germania, and continues fighting against the Soviet Union. It is now 1964 and Germany's war crimes against the Jews have so far been kept a secret. Germany believes that an alliance with the United States would finally beat the Soviet war machine. As his 75th birthday approaches, Hitler wants to talk peace with President Joseph Kennedy. An SS homicide detective and an American journalist stumble into a plot to destroy all evidence of the genocide; evidence that could destroy the peace process with America and evidence that Nazi and SS leaders will stop at nothing to keep hidden.

Jean Marsh smiling, waving her hand, and saying "we reaettled them in the air", and "tuned them into smoke" is one of the most chilling moments in movie history.
Superb acting and it must have been very hard to undertake such an acting role given the content
This movie is a thousand times more realistic than Man in the High Castle. Though the ending was... eh... it still shows a more plausible timeline rather than the Nazis somehow capturing all of the Americas and somehow colonizing the moon.
The thesis of the Japanese German invasion of America is bullshit
Lmao nazi Germany was indeed advanced and powerfull but colonising moon and stuff 😂😂😂Lmao peak American redneck thinking
I haven't seen all of Man in the High Castle, but I thought the idea of an "alternate universe" was a bit too sci-fi-ish for me.
The ending was ridiculous. Joe Kennedy was a flagrant antisemite. He would have shipped Jews out of the US to Germany.
You mean "Iron Sky" wasn't a documentary???
Well I finally got to see this movie 25 years after its release. RIP Rutger Hauer
Think yourself lucky .I saw it 25 years before they made it
Please read the book it’s brilliant
@@danielanderson3286 yes it is, and film isn't faithful to it in a fundamental way
I saw it on HBO.
@@DannyBoy777777 In the book, which I read before the film, she smuggled the dossier into Switzerland, whilst the SS officer managed to get to Auschwitz in Poland which was just a lot of stone foundations to be shot simultaneously, by I think, 4 gunmen.
If this could have captured even the briefest glimpse of the author's brilliance it would be up there with the greatest films.
The film is better then the book.
@@darthnowlan in what way? What can you tell me about the book?
@@natebit8130 What I read about the book online. The film ending is better.
I'm reading the book right now; found the paperback at a thrift store. I remembered seeing this movie on HBO when it premiered, but I didn't remember all that much about it. The book is always better because the movie can't put in everything; it would have to be ten hours long!
@@darthnowlan Thanks. I'll try to find it and give it a read.
I don't know why so many are knocking this. It's fiction! Thank you for taking the time to upload! Peace
It's propaganda meant to reinforce lies about WWII.
Lucy's Mom
that comment in no way refutes my point.
@@l337pwnage What lies?
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.
Thank you for uploading this. I haven’t seen it since it was released, but always maintained it as one of my favorite movies. Having watched it just now, I’m glad to see how it has held up.
In what way? Can you give some examples of why it is one of your favorite movies, I wonder.
Even Germany winning WW2 can't stop Die Beatles from conquering the world. 👏
Wait now....the British band or the VW product?
Pretty unconvincing detail. Rock and roll would have been seen as degenerate art from the USA but was always central to the Beatles. And hair that long?? Just a desperate attempt to say early 1960s
@@BroonParker In the book the parallell universe Germany had another music culture after the second world war, but the Beatle mania thing was used by the Nazis as a way of reaching out to the west. Re: Glasnost for the Russians in the 80's.
@ingvarhallstrom2306 I had forgotten that - read it several years ago.
Not sure it's convincing even so, but thanks for the info. Maybe I'll get around to reading it again.
But did they still record "So you say you want a revolution?"
This movie doesn't follow the book, it's so heartbreaking. If you have only watched the movie, please read the book it is so much better
It always is, no ?
Who else thinks this film would have been so much better if Rutger Hauer had suddenly said to Michael Kitchen..."Are we the baddies?"
"Are we the baddies?" should have been the title of the movie
😂😂
Nice reference
But skulls? Why skulls?
He should have said: "Pirates are fun!"
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!
For a television movie, it really has some great production quality.

Gripping engrossing drama as the Gestapo tries to keep Nazi WWII atrocities hidden. Nail-biting finish. Best film I’ve seen in a long time.
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.
Been looking for this movie, thank you for posting!
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.
this movie needs a reboot
Again it needs to be a mini-series or a limited run full blown series a two hour movie even well which this isn't by any stretch of the imagination can never tell anything like the book did.
@@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.
No it doesn't because then the fucking SJW infested Hollywood studios would make it something terrible.
No because it will be ham fisted, bargain bin soylent propaganda.
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
"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 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.
Lmao yeah Hitler banned saying grace at dinner
@@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.
@@johnmarcucci1719 How is an oath particularly nightmarish?
@@longiusaescius2537Propaganda in a totalitarian regime
This movie depicted how you find good men in despotic regimes and evil men in free countries. Xavier March proved that.
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..
Michael kitchen,Rutger Hauer,Peter Vaughan all brilliant actors including John Shrapnel and John woodvine
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
A critical point of this film...its more than just an alternative ending to ww2. Rutgers hauers character brought to light that good men exist not only in all shapes and sizes. But also in all forms of government.
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
Amazingly gripping, should remake this 👍
Geez, this comment section is one of the most depressing thing I've read in a while.

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.
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
Seeing modern ( in the 1960's ) buildings and cars with Gestapo uniforms in the middle and ads for the Beatles is completely surreal...

the gestapo uniform is so frightful
....no longer living in the house of the blind...such a great line
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
I just finished the book.. now im watching this.. im freakinf obsessed
An underrated alt history film IMO. I liked how it takes into account some of the controversial people like Joseph Kennedy Sr.
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
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.
An intriguing and suspenseful movie, based on a novel by a great author. Hey, it may have happened in a a parallel timeline.
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.
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.
This was the movie that introduced me to alternate history.
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.
Interesting but disturbing film. One of those “what if’s?”.
Gripping, well-acted and extremely well written.
Er...no
Badly scripted, averagely acted and poorly rewritten for the screen
Halfway through so far a good detective movie :)
Netflix needs to make a limited series of the book.
And watch them make Hitler a black man
Rutger Hauser's death scene in the rain dressed all in black remanescent of Blade Runner
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.
@@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?
@ShadeyBladey ANOTHER CRITIC, I'LL STICK TO THIS VERSION. BOOK AND FILM were PERFECT. THEN AGAIN, I LOOK FOR SUBSTANCE NOT FLUFF.
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.
read this book years ago. it was a good read!
An awesome alt history book and film adaptation.
Agreed the book had kept me awake for hours, constantly wanting to smoke, drink coffee and Whisked and think of Charlie.... with her camera
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.
This actually surprised me alot...I like it different history out come & timeline...
I love the soundtrack. Wish it was released
This should have been a mini-series or a series
Excellent film great cast thanks
I remember this movie. Haven't seen it in 20+ years
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.
RIP Rutger Hauer!
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!
Just learned Mirander Richardson got a golden globe for this. Deserved I think.
I wish that this film was remake.
The Kennedy family must have HATED this.
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.
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.
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.
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.
I enjoyed the movie. Thanks
I think here's the reason why Stalin still lead the Soviet Union. The Doctor's Plot never happened resulting Joseph Stalin still alive.
As we all know, there are many works like book, movies, series and games that present a world where the axis won WWII, but who here has at least once made a personal work where the axis won the Second World War and perhaps shared it with his/her friends.
I am currently still working on one, yet unlike many who write these types of works, which are mostly focused on fictional characters who play a part in this alternate timeline, I am currently writing general information about every nation in my own fictional timeline. It always starts with the background, which presents historical information as in our timeline and at some point or points where things took an alternate turn.
After the background I would to to the territory of the nation, then to the economy, then the military power, then the Culture, ideology, religion and society (all in one part) and lastly the politics (both domestic and foreign).
The only 3 nations or I should better say empires where things are written a bit different are the Greater Germanic Reich, the Italian Empire and the Japanese Empire. Here I would leave the territory and the economy for after the politics and give a detailed info about the territory and local economy of every sub nation. What do I mean by that? For example the core of the GGR or the other Reichskommissariats like Ostland or Moskowien. The only sub nations I wrote separately are the 3 colonies in Africa (from Germany, Italy and Spain).
If anyone else here had at least once made and alternate timeline where the Axis won WWII or even from another historical period, place it in the comments and spread your ideas and imaginations.
Highly doubt you are writing anything from your lack of grammar.
I always wonder what would happen to the rest of the British Empire, would Canada, India, Australia etc fight on?
@@worldcomicsreview354Maybe depends on the region
Canada is already a country, same as AUS and NZ, Ireland, and South Africa
India really wanted independence from the British, so they will work together with Germany through diplomatically at least, and probably have some Japanese to help them run the empire on the East. And speaking of Asia, might be under the Japanese Empire, until we decided to gain independence in the near future, maybe like how Indonesia forced the Japanese to give independence through force a day after they commit surrender (although the actions could varied depending on the situations) and the others, maybe in China would be fully controlled by a puppet state (and maybe an empire too, ruled by the late Pu Yi?) and continuous rebellion by the nationalist and communist.
In Africa, the Germans and Italians might have given independence to some colonies or conquer it, depends (or the mainland Europe government run through there, maybe an exile France or UK government in here, although UK could raise their government in any Commonwealth countries they want not shocking when Canada became the new UK lol), and then maybe highly relied on German tech to build their nations while maybe try to get them in debt, maybe a chance for them to be like modern China, or use them as hard work labor for their minerals and stuff like the others to this day. Africa will be exploited like usual
When/where are you publishing this, if at all?
RIP Rutger do not care what movie he was good
Needs a modern remake
I like the part where the Fatherland said: "It's fatherlanding time." And fatherlanded all over the place
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.
Excellent novel, too, by Robert Harris. Worth reading.
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
What happened to Czar Nicolas?
Well he died in 1918 so… still dead.
The woman saying, "up in schmoke" still creeps me out.
Yeah, it made me want to throw up
I wish the ending was the same as the book.
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
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
Really enjoyed the film.
Hauer is great in this, as per usual. RIP.
I kinda like the scene at 6:20 it gives a look into the minds of the characters and how the youth would have been like born after 1945 if the u.s. Pulled out.
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 always imagined zavi being a much younger man from what I read in the book and also Charlie is supposed to be 25, as the book says. she looks in her late 30s here and resembles nothing of what I imagined from the novel
Also Zavi is older than he looks and his diet of whisky, coffee and cigarettes wouldn’t have him looking rotund like Hauer. The film is too clean and shiny - Zavi lives in a shit-hole,
Great film & soundtrack, Rutger was also very good in 'Escape from Sobbibor'
Sometimes though I don't like the way they usually depict the yanks as the moral compass or a force of righteousness.
A very good film based on an excellent book.
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
When I first saw this film it quickly became among my favorite alternate history films of all-time. However after reading the book for the first time recently, while there's still some about this film adaptation that I like, I've come to dislike the film for the most part. I just don't like how it diverged from the book so much and basically took out a lot of the critical pieces that were central to the story Fatherland was. I understand it's hard to do, especially when you have to condense everything down to two or less hours, but to me what changes they did made Fatherland's movie adaptation significantly weaker.
awesome story thanks for sharing
Actually a pretty good movie.
