I thought this was the point where John would reflect on his decisions and think about going against the Fuhrer and the reich but no in the finale they continue to make him the villain for some reason
Potent symbolism of the lights on the statue going out in sequence. First the lights in her pedestal, symbolising how the foundation of the nation she represents is crumbled and torn apart; then the lights in her crown/head, signifying the death of independent thought and freedom of belief; and finally, the torch, though broken and sinking, still glows feebly as it disappears beneath the water to represent the dying of hope and spirit, yet still the vital spark of resistance may remain.

Seeing any monument or piece of art being destroyed for some asinine reason pisses me off. It's not French, British, Indian, Chinese, Hawaiian culture, it is human culture being destroyed. Our culture and heritage.
I was hooked on the show, start to finish, though I admit to being a bit disappointed that they cheapskated on the ending with the traditional "bad guys die, good guys win." Personally, I'd have much preferred the much more ambiguous ending the show would have had if it ended after Smith's coup and assassination of Himmler. Just imagine- Himmler is dead, Smith rules supreme in North America...what's in store for the world now?
@@KomradeSealsmy problem with the series is that it ended to soon. The reason being that amazon did not approve for any more seasons after the fourth season. The writers basically had to cram 2-3 seasons into one season. You can tell by the way they were passing them selves with each season. I loved it every step except for the last one. The world building was so incredibly done. We were supposed to see other areas of the world, like Africa and China, after the fourth. Unfortunately, they had to rush everything so dramatically that it killed off the series for me. I can’t even rewatch it now.
I feel the show is honestly too American centric. I’m still waiting to see something similar that takes place in Russia/ Eastern Europe which was always where the nazi’s priorities were. That was the place where they focused their hatred more than any other
I don't think alternate realities nor time travel are possible. Hard determinism sounds the most logical and consistent, not relying on any near magical element we imply do not understand yet.
It was really a brilliant idea by the writers. Not since "Planet of the Apes" and Rod Serling writing in Charlton Heston's discovery of the Statue of Liberty has there been such a dramatic "KO".
Kind of ironic seeing how the actor who plays Himmler also played the German man who stood up to Loki in the first Avengers movie and told him that he would never kneel to a man like him.
Yeah, I’ve always thought of the Statue Of Liberty as a symbol of freedom, peace, and the desire to want to make ones life better, not as a strictly American icon.
It was this scene which made me realize the sheer magnitude of the battle the resistance had in front of them. Not only would they have to defeat the resources of the Japanese Empire and Nazi Reich, but the millions of children and adults who had been raised in the Reich. They didn't know freedom or the United States, and would loyally fight to preserve the Reich. Not only would the resistance be fighting for freedom, but for the souls and minds of North America.
As someone from Poland I can assure you this is pure fiction. In reality, if we can talk about the reality here as it is a movie, but conquering souls and minds is always almost impossible. You learned it occupying Iraq and Afganistan. In Vietnam. We learned on the receiving end. We were occupied for 134 years. With laws forbidding us to speak our language, practice our religion, have our culture. For generations. The language, the customs, the culture, the religion, they all survived. Shortly after were faced with two world wars and USSR occupation that took more deecades. And we are still here. They could never win our souls and minds. It would be exactly the same for America.
@@paulb7207your opportunism is greatly appreciated, but if it was to be believed, Slavs were to be re-educated or removed from society. Just because you survived 134 years didn't mean you would for the next 5 years under Nazi Germany. The Jews survived for centuries in Europe until a guy like Hitler decided to do something unthinkable.
@@Not_Evil_ But it isn't the resistance that destroys the American Reich, it's the death of John Smith and the general dude being more loyal to old America (that's what's implied, anyway). The resistance doesn't overthrow the nazis at all
Historical accuracy is not necessary. You are basing your assumptions on what our history tells. There are infinite possibilities, and it doesn't matter if it makes logical sense based on OUR outcome.

Scary thing this, it IS happening. Statues of George Washington, Ulysses S. Grant and even Theodore Roosevelt are being pulled down. It's a matter of time before they come for the World War II monuments.
Imagine that instead of having destroyed it, they had designed it differently and made the arm that holds the torch actually were doing the Nazi salute
It's kinda ironic with that music in the background, when they sing "Alle Menschen werden Brüder" The last thing come into my mind is the destruction of Statue of Liberty.

The Statue of liberty is the subject of the poem and the US is an adoptive mother to exiles. “Keep, ancient lands, your storied pomp!” cries she With silent lips. “Give me your tired, your poor, Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free, The wretched refuse of your teeming shore. Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me, I lift my lamp beside the golden door!” America is ideally a classless society taking people from the bottom tanks of whatever society they came from and allowed to become the best version of themselves they can be.

Nothing in any show or film until this scene captured how I felt on 9/11 when the Twin Towers collapsed -- the sheer shock and horror of it all, and the helplessness in that moment.
They did. You didn’t watch more of the show? They replaced the Statue of Liberty with a much bigger statue that featured 2 Aryan or Hitler Youth, or whatever people, a man and a woman, with the guy’s sleeves all rolled up and wearing a uniform and the girl with a girl scout-looking dress standing together all patriot-like and doing the Nazi salute while holding up a huge Nazi banner used in rallies and marched.
They _SHOULD HAVE_ turned Liberty Island into a massive Museum of Judeo-Liberal Decadence and established well-researched and persuasive exhibits showcasing American artifacts that contributed to the meaningless, self-indulgent existence of "individuals" and undesirable groups. By destroying the past, you martyr it but, by putting it on display and showing a _BETTER_ way forward, you tear away its mythological intrigue and thrust it naked before the eyes of those it failed. A stoned woman can be a heroine but, a humiliated one forced to be gawked and jeered at 'til her dying days is a pitiable message to all who'd stray from the straight and narrow.

That scene was the first thing that came to mind.
Potent symbolism of the lights on the statue going out in sequence. First the lights in her pedestal, symbolising how the foundation of the nation she represents is crumbled and torn apart; then the lights in her crown/head, signifying the death of independent thought and freedom of belief; and finally, the torch, though broken and sinking, still glows feebly as it disappears beneath the water to represent the dying of hope and spirit, yet still the vital spark of resistance may remain.

@@KomradeSealsmy problem with the series is that it ended to soon. The reason being that amazon did not approve for any more seasons after the fourth season.

The world building was so incredibly done. We were supposed to see other areas of the world, like Africa and China, after the fourth. Unfortunately, they had to rush everything so dramatically that it killed off the series for me. I can’t even rewatch it now.

It was this scene which made me realize the sheer magnitude of the battle the resistance had in front of them. Not only would they have to defeat the resources of the Japanese Empire and Nazi Reich, but the millions of children and adults who had been raised in the Reich. They didn't know freedom or the United States, and would loyally fight to preserve the Reich. Not only would the resistance be fighting for freedom, but for the souls and minds of North America.
As someone from Poland I can assure you this is pure fiction. In reality, if we can talk about the reality here as it is a movie, but conquering souls and minds is always almost impossible. You learned it occupying Iraq and Afganistan. In Vietnam. We learned on the receiving end. We were occupied for 134 years. With laws forbidding us to speak our language, practice our religion, have our culture. For generations. The language, the customs, the culture, the religion, they all survived. Shortly after were faced with two world wars and USSR occupation that took more deecades. And we are still here. They could never win our souls and minds. It would be exactly the same for America.

@UC1QHq-P0j5oSf4i9WiyYuJA As an American, shut the fuck up and stop acting like you know any thing about my country just because you read it in your papers.

Its ironic you call it stupid and then proceed to make my point. You said yourself, its an ideology to strive for and what is that ideology? Immigrants who want a better life. Its literally written on the statue itself.
