The crossroads of history it turns

The setting of this play is very attractive. If Germany and Japan were victorious in World War II, what would the world be like?

Here is an answer that is not an answer: those who "should live" continue to live, and those who "should die" die quietly. There were a lot of moments where I thought I saw 1984, but luckily it was just a hallucination. A country that has not experienced oppression cannot accurately describe what oppression is.

After watching the whole drama, I actually have the highest favorability for Prosecutor Shiroto. This gesture of knowing why you do what is too dazzling. Even if it looks like a mad dog. (Suddenly thinking of Li Ya) Too many times I am in a state of confusion, not knowing what I want or where I should go. It would be nice to have a firm belief. Too bad I'm stupid and lazy.

Correspondingly, the heroine of this play really makes me not like her. The Virgin White Lotus is talking about her. She will always sympathize with the "vulnerable groups" and never know how to be truly responsible for her actions. Her boyfriend is also out of luck.

But there is a problem. I don’t know if it’s because the screenwriter’s ambition is relatively large or the skill is insufficient. The whole plot seems very loose, so that I think it’s a bit difficult to review the main line of the plot in my mind.

In short, the overall fluency is still very worthy of praise, continue to chase.

The Man in the High Castle quotes

  • Joe Blake: [noticing ashes falling like snowflakes] What is that?

    Nazi Police Officer: Oh, that's the hospital.

    Joe Blake: The hospital?

    Nazi Police Officer: Yeah, Tuesdays, they burn cripples, the terminally ill. Drag on the state.

  • Mark Sampson: I don't plan on dying, Frank. But you can't live your life in fear. I was back east at the end of the war, in Boston.

    Frank Frink: Oh, Jesus.

    Mark Sampson: Yeah. You had to see it to believe it, Frank. Overnight, lynch mobs were murdering Jews because suddenly we were less than human.

    Frank Frink: And what did you do?

    Mark Sampson: Well, those of us who came out in one piece. We buried service weapons underground, well wrapped in oil, and we vowed revenge. I got a life to lead, got kids to raise. And Hitler and the Nazis - I mean, I don't care how it looks. They won't last. One thing I realized about my people is we got a different sense of time. These may be dark years, but we'll survive. We always do.
