Black Sabbath Posted November 2, 2018 Share Posted November 2, 2018 Finished Season 4 of The Affair. Great show. Next season will be the last (thankfully; I mean that in the best way). Kidding on Showtime is delightful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DieselDaisy Posted November 2, 2018 Share Posted November 2, 2018 (edited) I have finished season three of The Man in a High Castle. It is quite brilliant in areas and I am surprised it hasn't obtained more attention. I have now commenced Unsere Mütter, unsere Väter (2013), which rather lazily goes under the title Generation War in Anglophone countries. It is basically a German Band of Brothers. and caused outrage among some circles, the Poles, Israelis, for being perceived as ''German war apologia''. Jury still out on that argument (I have only seen episode one), but the battle scenes are what one would expect, brutal, realistic, etc., and have the usual ''Spielbergian'' tropes such as slow motion inter-battle moments of gormless looking soldiers staring into vacancy. There is certainly a lot of anal sex too! (I got tired of Second World War films/tv series incidentally somewhere post-Band of Brothers, labeling them ''Second World War Porn''. I miss the war films where Richard Burton dresses up as a German and infiltrates a secret war facility, and Barbra Bach gets her tits out - that is my sort of war).

Dick adaptation, counterfactual history based on the premise of the axis winning World War Two and carved up the United States, has just been released. It is not without its flaws but this series was extremely good, especially during the portrayal of a perverse amalgam of white picket fenced middle America and National Socialism. I recommend it. I’ve read the book. I started watching the series but having got the point of the book it was hard. The book presents one or two possible versions of history but in the end makes the point that Chance as represented by I Ching is the really important factor in life. So it was like what am I watching here. Like the idea that Lemmy would be collecting Americana if the germans won the war. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lemmy has - had - some really interesting stuff, enough to create the Fourth Reich if you so desired, there in California where I believe he lived, He has some first world war Pickelhaube at the front, the helmets with the silly spike.

In the book I think the Japanese antique shop guy is selling Americana like it’s WWII artifacts. I used to collect coke bottles and even cans but I realised it was just a folly. But I do still have a few collectibles. Probably by 2050 coke will be seen as Neo Con artifacts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, that is in the film. I have some bits and bobs, Third Reich coins and stamps, a Luftwaffe song book, a British ''Tommy'' helmet, an Argentine helmet (don't ask!) and some other items associated with my great grandfather and world war one.

My gran found a unexploded bomb in her back garden from the war in the 80s. Didn’t a lot of nazis escape to Argentina? I had a couple of gas masks I used wear when watching tv in the 90s. Not sure if they were used in the war or why they were in second hand stores. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dontdamnmeuyi2015 Posted November 27, 2018 Share Posted November 27, 2018 Arrow Holiday Baking championship Cookie baking The Good Doctor Manifest Yeah, a lot of Nazi criminals escaped to Brazil and Argentina. Since South America didn't care what a person did before they came to their country, they didn't cooperate with Israel in bringing them to justice. I don't understand how they could have turned a blind eye on the horrors they did and continued to do in their own countries.

This season on Blindspot there were a few more twists which is making the show exciting again. I've watched it from the beginning and I like it a lot. Just when you think you know something, the show takes another dramatic turn. Adding Rich working on the tattoos and computer stuff was a funny addition.

I don't understand how they could have turned a blind eye on the horrors they did and continued to do in their own countries. The allies themselves did this. Many former Nazis were granted liberty and positions of power during the allied occupation. Further, West Germany, now a valuable NATO ally, passed various amnesty laws, benefiting 792,176 people including, Quote more than 3,000 functionaries of the SA, the SS, and the Nazi Party who participated in dragging victims to jails and camps; 20,000 other Nazi perpetrators sentenced for "deeds against life" (presumably murder); 30,000 sentenced for causing bodily injury https://newrepublic.com/article/66780/amnesty-and-amnesia Consider the fact that it was impossible to re-establish a viable working state (urgent in cold war politics) without utilising former Nazis, because (to put it extreme, for most effect) every Germany had participated in the Nazi's crimes. You need an (aging) mayor, municipal judge, police official or prison guard? Well he probably had been affiliated with the Nazis in some way, and that is not even mentioning the need to re-establish armies! The nature of the National Socialist state had been so all-encompassing you see? I am not exonerating this policy but stating the context facing the allies (and later) Federal Republic. But pertaining to South America, many states were quasi-fascist, albeit fascist of a more Italio-Spanish description. Juan Perón was a sympathizer of Mussolini and Hitler and deplored the Nuremberg Trials.
