Man in the High Castle
Has anyone here watched it since Amazon put out the full series 2 weeks ago? I just finished the series and really enjoyed it a lot. One of the things I think they accomplished best was world building. It's tough to tell a story in an alternate timeline as it often feels like you've grafted set dressing on top of our own world, but Man in the High Castle did an excellent job of making it feel like it's own place. I certainly bought in to the reality of the story's world. I'd never read the novel, so I'm not sure what changes were made beyond the change from the novel within a novel to film within the film.
Did anyone else watch this? Enjoy it? I'm looking forward to the (hopeful) second season.

I haven't seen it yet, but I plan to watch it as soon as possible. I'm a big Dick fan (oops--that comes out a bit wrong here--that's "a big Philip K. Dick fan"), but I haven't read The Man in the High Castle.

Immensely enjoyable series. I am still marveling that, in this overly-PC world we live in today, that there isn't more of an uproar over all the slurs used though... I guess us Asians are just too sweet and submissive to say anything . Really great show. No spoilers but book = VERY different in characters / plots. Basics are true to form but pretty changed overall.

Re: Man in the High Castle
I sort of wonder if that isn't for the best. Look at Watchmen for an example why film shouldn't religiously follow printed material. So long as the changes are true to the heart of the work and not simply for set pieces,I think it strengthens the transition between media.

Re: Man in the High Castle
The creators of Watchmen the movie misapplied Alan Moore's work. Many thought it was a superhero movie, but the original work was looking at the effects of the Cold War. At time where peace seemed impossible and it was only a matter of time nations would destroy themselves in posturing for control. I think it was concepts like that and many others the writers fail to apply. Hollywood was just looking for a cool action movie.
Will check out man in the High Castle. Philip K. Dick is amazing conceptual writer. Before I go to sleep tonight to dream of electric sheep, I will remember your thoughts wholesale.
