John Smith's train is ambushed by The Resistance｜The Man In The High Castle｜1080p

[@captain_commenter8796]

This scene symbolizes the entire series! Good at the beginning, begins going too fast, and then a bunch of shit derails the entire thing in a fireball

[@MarquezRobinson]

You know what that is soo true 😂😂😂 this season was rushed should've ended it with a 5th season instead....

[@alanario3738]

This ending was too rushed. There is no way that this would be so easy for the resistance. I mean Hitler survived 42 assassinations. Everything and everywhere he went there was security. People ate his food before he ate it. He never got killed by anybody than himself. There is no way that the resistance got to that train line that easy. Just see how hard it is to reacg Area 51 for example

[@forgottenclips7522]

Yeah that's totally true, sadly :/

[@twstf8905]

It's a TV show lol you're totally fine with the concept of alternate worlds in which the Nazi's won the War and have access to some weird underground "portal" allowing some of the people to travel back and forth to and from these alternate worlds but the Resistance getting to that bridge with enough explosives "that easy" lol THAT'S where you draw the line?!?

@@twstf8905 Ever heard of science fiction? That's a way movies are made. Science fiction is part of dystopian / utopian visions aswell. So in this case: The author has done a dystopian future using science fiction (reminds me of cyberpunk: not connected to concerns and monopols, but connected to the regime and a government of controlling). Apart from that: If you ever had philosophy class such mind experiments are actually interesting. And yes, the ending was the point where historical nonsense began in my opinion. Having portals to other universes are scientific mistakes, but they can easily be explained with science fiction in movies. The show was not based on correct science, but on correct history. A great way to understand the Nazi regime (just a bit) without reading too much. A show is not always realistic in terms of science. But this specific show was realistic in terms of an alternate history (with a bit exaggeration with the portals (but that could be a strange method to present the dominance in every way of the NSDAP and the Nationalsozialisten in the German Reich in general that Hitler wanted)).

Me too. I was so hoping the circumstances he's been through such as losing Thomas to realizing the gravity of atrocities and inhumanities the Nazi regime has committed, would make him disillusioned enough to turn again them, a la Inspector Javert.

Inspector Javert kills himself because he can't reconcile his beliefs with his reality. Which is basically what happened, so in a way, he's already like Inspector Javert. Smith already recognized the gravity of his atrocities and forged ahead anyway, he was always going down in the end. He's Walter White not Prince Zuko.

[@hugostiglitz1816]

@@aleskandrani7831 Kalashnikov didn't even started working on the AK in 1945. He had carbine prototypes but he only started working on his Assault Rifle in 1946, when the officials started a design competition for a new standard rifle. 1947 was only the year he actually finished the first model and the gun was accepted by the army in 1948 and then adopted in 1949. But was only issued by 1951. Since in MITHC ww2 ended in 1947 AK most likely never have been made. Since they only started working on it way after the war ended. And in the movie she is even using a Zastava m70, the yugoslavian version of the AK.

[@ReaverLordTonus]

Okay, This is why I hated the ending and the 4th season overall. The John Smith who says "I Know" when confronted that it is wrong and who says "I don't know how" when told it has to stop? That is the John Smith we've seen for three seasons, a man who has begun to question everything he's done, realize his sons death was his fault and a tragic waste, and may in fact resolve to free America from the darkness that has overtaken it. That John Smith would not have been laying out plans to perpetuate The Nazi's final solution upon the rest of the country, he would not be dedicated to the party and its ideals, he would not be considering abducting his son from another universe to force him to live in a nightmare. The show couldn't decide which John Smith would be there in season 4, the one who finds redemption or the one who goes full Nazi, you can't have both.

[@mcmiracle_]

accurate. sad the show got killed off, idk the facts but probably cuz it offended some groups, which in my eyes seems ridiculous because everyone was affected by the war and this art piece isn't in sighting anything harmful, there is always going to be someone thats offended, so what. but maybe im wrong and thats not the case. if anything its educational because its a "what if" scenario. showing how bad things could of been but with a "sci-fi" twist. i really wanted this show to go on for the length it needed, it was so good for 3 seasons but became a literal train wreck. even still i was okay with how it ended.

[@coryhebert2070]

I agree. It was obvious that he struggled with the morality of doing what he had to do as a Nazi but it seemed pretty clear at the end of season 3 that he was fed up with the Nazis and their ideology so the natural arc of the character we saw for three seasons would have worked to dissolve Nazi ideology in North America not double down on it. I have a strong suspicion that some outrage/cancel culture producers or writers did not want him to have any redeeming qualities just because he was a Nazi, which I find very closed minded. These same people probably do not see any redeeming traits in Col. Staffenburg either just because he was a Nazi even though he was executed for trying to assassinate Hitler. I definitely feel like politics played a huge role in the way show ended and that is very disappointing.

[@gabrielappleton4342]

I mean... John DID survive the assassination attempt.

[@SR-mi6jf]

@@coryhebert2070 Not everything is cancel culture tho lol. The guy who takes over after John Smith died calls off the attack on the west coast and removes his nazi medal. He is trying to redeem himself despite being a nazi. It is implied and not exactly stated. Its not that the producers are too "woke" to change characters. Its easy to make any scenario and try to justify it that way.

[@Nephlyte348]

Redemption was never happening here. That was not the point of his character. When he met and inadvertently killed his other self it was clear this version of himself was delusional and wanted the power he wielded as a Nazi and couldn’t imagine being the “mediocre salesman” his other self was. John Smith was always the cautionary tale, he was always going to choose the dark side. Even if there had been more seasons, his end would have been the same. He was a Nazi through and through by the end. He just didn’t believe it. Until this moment. That was the point. He was still my favorite character and I rooted for him but I never once thought there was any other end possible. Dude participated in genocide, willingly. He might have been reluctant, but he chose it. There was a whole thing in the first season about why he stopped boating because of the guilt. He had to die. Plain and simple. What’s the alternative? You think he puts the US back together then just submits to be tried for his crimes? No way, no how that was happening.

People hate this episode but the train discussion was majestic imo, John seeing it is too late to change shit, and the final blow being Helen's betrayal, then her death, before he blew his brains out he was already a dead man by that point, and his reaction says it all there

[@ronandynan1228]

I disagree that it was too late. By this point Smith had, and I quote “full autonomy” from the rest of the Reich. He could have stopped all of it at any time he pleased. In effect, he chose to continue Nazi protocol and that always has bothered me, because it clearly grates on his conscience. Other than that the dialogue is brilliant

Season 4 is disgusting and this scene in particular. Smith was turned into a mumbling weakling, the driver, who saw unidentified people swarming under the bridge with the express purpose of undermining it, did not stop the train, but instead gave the gas to who knows what he was hoping for. The rebels who managed to get a lot of explosives in a fascist state, to get close to a protected government facility, on which the head of state was about to pass, and to blow it up - yes, about this alone it could be filmed for two seasons. Lots of plot twists that come out of nowhere and lead to nowhere. If instead of a plot against Himmler in the war room, where all the Reich commanders gathered, aliens would have flown in and shoved their tentacles up everyone's anuses, I think the plot would not have suffered much... It would have been even more interesting. Anyway, that's what happens when you run out of money for a show and need to cram what you can't cram into one season
