Premi Posted March 27, 2022 Report Share Posted March 27, 2022 @Soulfinder Did you watch all the movies you mentioned? I've seen 'Chal Mera Putt' and I thought it was 'good' (I hardly ever watch Panjabi or Indian movies, but the trailer looked good). But to call it 'realistic' I think is stretching reality. Some of it is, others definitely not. They never mentioned religion which most East Panjabis and definitely all West Panjabis would in real life. Btw, this is the attitude of Pakistani actors (some were in the movie) towards Sikhs (I learned this from SS forums) . It's put me off watching the sequels. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes veer ji i have seen all these movies that i posted as my family really enjoyed these films a lot especially chal mera putt (which was on last night on Pitaara TV on sky). I saw part 2 of chal mera putt at the cinema which my family liked a lot as well. But yes i agree they don't mention religion and after seeing the video clip you posted i am shocked to say. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both have Nazis so Amazon probably thought they were related. I saw that film a while ago, it makes some good points about reverence to power and it’s trappings but the usual antiwar message common in German cinema just made it like all their other movies.

On 3/26/2022 at 6:57 PM, HSD said: Even though the show does drop off as it went on, I would still rate it as one of the best. It’s one of the only ones I’ve bothered to watch twice. The first season is very good as it takes a lot of what is in the book and translates it well to screen. The scene between Hitler and his assassin mirrors a very clever part of the book that is highly thought provoking. That season also draws parallels to other’s colonial history that is relatable. The second season I think is when Ridley Scott left, or one of the other producers did. Frank Frink goes from being a symbol of American cultural reawakening like he is in the book to some weird freedom fighter more at home in a Red Dawn movie. There is no real explanation for the weird disparity in strength between Japan and Germany. Nor would Japan rely on Texan oil, it’s a very unrealistic attempt at world building. The third season is good but the fourth season again goes off in a weird tangent. Chinese communists spent most of WW2 hiding in mountains and would have been a spent force as they relied on Soviet help. The black communists themselves were organised and supplied by Japan before WW2 so why they would have been so good at resisting is another weird storyline. It felt like the show writers were simply doing that American thing of striving for a happy ending no matter how outlandish. The thing is the book offers a clean snapshot of this other world with no obvious beginning or proper ending. It does predict the course of the Cold War which is surprising for a book written in the 60s. The Nazi Germans brag about their scientific achievements with a manned mission to Venus and claim to have full social cohesion. The Imperial Japanese on the other hand are fighting a pointless war in the jungles of Brazil and have major issues in most parts of their territories. By the end of the book it is revealed the Nazi space programme is just a cover for a weapons deployment and most of its population are fed up of poverty. Japan on the other hand at least gives people a type of freedom and opportunity they won’t get elsewhere. The parallels with what happened in the real Cold War are unusually prescient. The same won’t be said of the tv show with black communists and white racists coming together to reunite the US. Or lost ones travelling from other worlds as if from a successful ghostdance. The show also portrays John Wayne as a militant and a rebel when we all know he was a coward and a racist. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It has high ratings but it drags on and isn’t very coherent. It feels like watching a bunch of randoms go through various set pieces associated with the Stalingrad siege. You would be better off watching a documentary about the battle instead. If you want to watch a film about the Eastern Front I would recommend Cross Of Iron. If it’s something in the German language you want then the tv show Generation War is worth a watch. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dalsingh101 Posted April 11, 2022 Report Share Posted April 11, 2022 Just watched the above (2 episodes), perfectly frames the traditional british view of these things (i.e. no biggy, so move along), and also perfectly explains why they covered up (and still cover up) what happened to Sikh girls. Makes yer proud to be british! Gawd save da queen! Paa, paa , pa-pa-pa-pa, paaah.......... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dalsingh101 Posted April 15, 2022 Report Share Posted April 15, 2022 Watched Taboo with Tom Hardy. It's a bit twisted (incest) by I liked it a lot. Weaves in the East India Company machoday and british monarchy in the story. To be honest I really loved Better call Saul, shame Odenkirk had a heart attack filming the last season. Hopefully it will be out soon. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
