Another world, another society, another history of mankind One of the classic works of Philip K. Dick, "The Man in the High Castle", managed to be qualitatively filmed within the framework of as many as four seasons. This is a well-developed project that adapts the book, paying homage to the original work and clearly demonstrating the basic postulates prescribed in the novel. "The Man in the High Castle" is a dystopia, a story in the genre of alternative history, which I love very much. The Nazis won the Second World War, changing the world order according to their vision. The action of the TV series takes place years after the fall of the countries that opposed Hitler's Germany and the Japanese Empire. The United States no longer exists in its usual form. On its territory, the Great Nazi Reich is located in the center and east of the mainland, and the Japanese Pacific states have taken under their wing the western states of the once-existing state. It is interesting to observe how the authors show the already familiar world in the TV series. The life of elites and ordinary citizens is served quite interestingly without any embellishments. In this new world, the viewer can see how the development of humanity has gone under a completely different vector. Here we can see a different mindset of the masses and top officials of the states, which create history in a completely different way. The world of the TV series is perfectly worked out from the visual side. The creators have taken enough attention to many little things from entire districts of cities to the smallest trinkets. Watching series after series, you observe how people live in this reality and thanks to a detailed approach to even the little things, you really believe in what is happening on the screen. The characters are also qualitatively worked out. There are quite a lot of them here. It was within the framework of the series that the creators had a great opportunity to reveal their characters, their deep inner world, motivation and evolution. Someone will cause sympathy, someone will openly annoy. But even among the villains, you can find those who command respect, and you fully understand and even accept their true motives. Of the heroes, I would probably like to single out John Smith performed by the charismatic Rufus Sewell. A decent performance of the actor allowed us to trace how his character changed from season to season, what he was capable of and what he eventually came to. Another memorable character was Nobusuke Tagomi, played by Carey-Hiroyuki Tagawa. The Japanese looks convincing and touching, allows you to see the world of Japanese domination in the west of North America from a different angle, when you realize that every person has their secrets and problems, every person is struggling with their demons, and sometimes it is very difficult to emerge victorious from such a struggle. The past almost a couple of decades after the victory of the Third Reich and the Japanese Empire have not been ignored. The series takes place in 1962. And by this time, as the viewer sees, society is coming to new problems, which in fact have been maturing all these years and were even predictable. Former allies are increasingly moving away from each other, are afraid of each other, do not want to put up with the dominance of the other. Greedy governments have achieved victories for their peoples and a new world order, but all this is quite fragile and ready, it seems, to collapse at any moment. It is all the more interesting to observe who is playing what political games. The series turned out to be a strong project. This is a high-quality film adaptation of a cult book by one of my favorite authors. The multi-part film is sure to appeal to those who like a good alternative story. 9 out of 10
