Wow, an astounding movie - time for a big budget remake?

There should be a film made, centered around one man who was a child during the Second World War and grows up during the Nazi regime.

Film ends with his death, maybe he lives from 1935-2015?



Those foolish enough to move from canada to america increase the average I.Q. of both countries

It's a decent film. What exactly would the 'big budget' add to it?

I happened on see it on TV and I was really astounded. I would agree with those who see no need for a more costly Hollywood production, since that would probably turn the whole thing into a costly Hollywood production. As it is, despite flaws one could mention in the basic alternate world scenario, the film is very real in an everyday sense despite the fact that it takes place in an alternative history. I have always liked both Miranda Richardson and Rutger Hauer – and the special effects were so well done, mostly, that one did not really see them as special effects. Well, I didn't. And that is praise. In the movie the romance between the two was rather severely understated, one had to sort of figure it out for oneself until the little kiss towards the end, but to build out that would have made it a two-part series – that I wouldn't have minded, incidentally. If new movies should be made it would have to be some real talent taking on Philip K. Dick's classic The Man in the High Castle. That would make for one of the strangest movies ever. There are also other great books in the past on the theme, such as Ward Moore's Bring the Jubilee, in which the South has won your American civil war. That too would make a nice series of 2-3 90 minute episodes. As for the Holocaust itself I recommend more documentary books and movies. The Nazi State of this movie is implausible in that it manages to present a rather friendly face. Documentary materials from the thirties provide a much different picture, that would have been very hard to gloss over. Anyway, the movie is quite good as such, and I also wish to emphasise the ten year old (I guess) who played 'Rutger's' son – he was a truly memorable young actor.

I'd rather stick my d*ck in a blender than have this film remade. Remakes are beyond old at this point. Way too many way too often.

I dont see the point in a remake

but perhaps a "special edition" fixing some of the now dated computer effects

I saw this film in my english class after we had to read the book. I have to say that after reading the book, i was heavily disappointed in the film. It was as if all of the good parts of the book were not present in the film. So as far as a remake of this movie, no. If someone wanted to do a completely new adaptation of the book with a big budget then I would be very excited since the book is fantastic.

Not to mention Christoph Waltz would be perfect as Xavier March, and the book just screams the word FINCHER the whole time i was reading it.
