This retro-futuristic adventure depicts a 1964 in which Hitler won the war and Joe Kennedy Sr. is U.S. president. Europe is known as Germania and opens its borders to American journalists, hoping to line up the U.S. as an ally against Russia. Set design and costumes very effectively create a potent and prosperous state, culled both from imagination and the history books. More downbeat and perhaps more effective than Robert Harris's chilling novel, Fatherland is brought to life by Rutger Hauer as an SS officer who stumbles onto eye-opening secrets. Miranda Richardson is the tough-cookie American caught up in a web of lies made all the more intriguing by a superb supporting cast. They hook up to solve a murder and uncover an atrocity dating back to World War II. Watch for a particularly nasty Jean Marsh in a supporting role; she steals every scene in which she appears. --Rochelle O'Gorman

D-day had failed. Kennedy is president, Joseph sr. that is, not John. Hitler is about to celebrate his 75th birthday. That was all the exposition I needed. It's springtime for Hitler in Germainia. We lost. It is the early 60's & the cold war has taken a hard left turn from what we know happen. The Germans are still fighting the Russians. Hitler wants a peace treaty with The United States. It is about to happen. President Kennedy is coming to Berlin & bringing a lot of reporters. One problem: ... Read More

I thought this movie was excellent. The story was really interesting and kind of a "What If" movie as in "What if Germany had won WWII". Rutger Hauer is excellent as the lead character and SS police officer who is investigating a murder in Germania the country that exist now that Germany has defeated Europe in WWII. Joe Kennedy is the president of the United States and their is going to be a summit to end this "cold war". Eager to make peace with the U.S. because of the horrible on going war in on the ...

Whatever novel this is based on, it sure isn't Robert Harris's. I finished reading the novel minutes before popping in the movie and was surprised to see that the whole thing was rewritten. Hardly a sub-plot remains.
On the whole it's a decent movie, though it shows its made for TV roots and the ending is laughable.

The introduction was excellent: images of a shamefull Eisenhower who felt responsible for not winning the war. Churchill sent in excile to Canada, King Edward en Queen Wallis, Speer's realised buildings in the Reich. The makers used authentical images to create this alternative history and they succeed: it was very convincing.
For the first 30 minutes, the story was allright. The pictures of Nazi-Berlin in the sixties were impressing. But then everything went wrong. There was nothing left of the ... Read More

First off... I have never read the book, so no
comparisons from me on that point.
I first started watching this movie on HBO back
in the early 90's, but was interupted by visiting
friends and never got back to it. But the first
half hour of what I did see stayed with me enough
to want to search for this movie several years
later.
Viola... Amazon comes through AGAIN!
The movie starts out with some news reel footage
and ... Read More
