Watch Fatherland For Free

i must have seen a different film!!

good back-story, and good acting

Excellent, Without a doubt!!

Clever, believable, and super fun to watch. It totally has replay value.

an interesting alternative history theme. not bad performances. but a not convincing film. not for the story itself - it could be accepted with the small sins. but for the strange atmosphere. as result of not the best knowledge of details. it is the sort of film who could be provocative. who impose the way to the library for examine the roots of this if... . but "Fatherland" has the bad luck to be only a sort of crime film. decent but out of the history. sure, names, uniforms, suggestions. but nothing more. and this represents , in fact, the fall of a great opportunity to give a great film.

Rutger Hauers Police station is built of glass and concrete, an architectural style Hitler hated. "Das Beatles' poster on the wall obviously to try to allude to a certain decade, the 1960's but again, this sort of music would have been deemed degenerate...and the four Liverpool mop tops would have probably been enlisted by then. Overall, what could have been a decent film that matched the books content etc ended up looking like it had been made by three different directors. Finally, the Grand idea of a new Berlin and Germania just does not come across in the lazy production values. So, what could have come across as a really interesting and scary alternative future for Europe and the USA falls flat on its face I fear.

This is a great film, The plot follows the novel throughout but some Christian and western influence is added. This spoils the tag line from my opinion.Comparing this film with the novel might not be fair. The novel is great and this film is also, but in different way.The visual effects are great as well as the acting. 60s Nazi Reich spirit is captured well. The Third Reich painted in the film is credible, and very nice attention is paid to the details.I'd suggest watching this film first and then reading the Robert Harris' novel. That way you'll get the best of the both.I've been waiting for about ten years to see the filmation, and this was a bit of a disappointment. Seeing the Auschwitz death camps in person last year was a shocking experience. They're preserved in extraordinary way by the Polish. I'd suggest all the viewers to visit the survived concentration and extermination camps and feel the "spirit" of the Nazi Germany. It's a life-changing experience for you even if you are a extreme right believer or a person interested in the history.The movie alone 9/10, compared to the novel 6/10.

Fatherland by Robert Harris is truly one of the best novels ever written and I did find myself thinking "this could be a great film one day" many times while reading it. I was therefore delighted to see it made but disappointed with the result.Most of the actors work for me - this is a film that should be cast with Europeans - especially Rutger Hauer (ever growing in stature as an older statesman) as Xavier March. But one big flaw is the lack of chemistry with Richardsson.But this is a book that deserved the big screen and a well known director. Lets hope for a re-make.It must also be said that one of the most disappointing facts about the movie is how the film never really portrays the Berlin and Germany of a victorious Third Reich well enough. The monumental architecture that is so well described in Harris's book (taken from the historical facts of Hitler and Speer's plans) never really gets a fair showing. Just imagine what Industrial Light and Magic could do with this.
