Daily life

Daily life is a good angle to interpret the first season. According to Lefebvre and Agnes Heller, daily life has two sides. On the one hand, the absence of daily life makes people feel homeless. On the other hand, daily life is conservative and unconventional. Spiritual ones should be reformed.

In the context of the first season, we can see that in the Japanese-German cultural and industrial atmosphere, daily life is indeed non-spiritual and deceptive. This is probably also a motivation for the heroine to "search for answers." But daily life is indispensable. In the first season, the destruction of daily life is an important reason for the characters to take the road of resistance. For example, the heroine took the movie to "find the answer" because of the death of her sister. The Lord's boyfriend gradually embarked on the path of resistance due to the loss of his relatives.

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.
