I only wish more of his books could be adapted to film. Still haven't seen how they did with the recent Man in the High Castle. (I'm afraid, admittedly, because it is one of my favorites.)

Dick's books. Not sure how that happened, but thanks to your passionate post I'll be looking for him in the library.

Once you get used to the animation it actually enhances what is going on in the film.<br /><br />Thanks for stopping by and for the kind words.<br /><br /><br />ruth:<br /><br />Thanks! I hope you dig the film.<br /><br /><br />bobby J.:<br /><br />Thanks for stopping by!<br /><br />I did know about about Aldiss/UBIK link. Fascinating! I have heard about THE MAN IN THE HIGH CASTLE adapation and have high hopes for it. With Scott producing it should be visually interesting if nothing else.<br />October 3, 2011 9:25 PM<br /><br /><br />The Sci-Fi Fanatic:<br /><br />Thanks for the compliments, my friend.<br /><br />Don't let the rotoscoping animation scare you away. After the first initial scenes, you get used to it and settle in and focus on the characters, story, etc. As I said above, it actually enhances the story and creates a unique atmosphere.<br /><br />I hope you give it a shot sometime.<br /><br /><br />Chris:<br /><br />Thanks! I'm glad you enjoyed my review. As you can tell, I'm a big fan of this film and the book. I really thought Linklater did it justice. I'd love to see him tackle another one.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08164105442273577128noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5407391624985829089.post-57669589025370128572011-10-05T22:10:22.923-04:002011-10-05T22:10:22.923-04:00J.D. this was just amazing - the amount of detail ...J.D. this was just amazing - the amount of detail you poured into this really just blew my mind.

Of course, I have a better handle on it thanks to you.<br /><br />I've never been a big fan of this animating rotoscoping style. It's a real turn off. <br /><br />I may hvae to give it a chance based on your thoughtful review.<br /><br />The adaptation of Dick's work is often weak, but you make a case for it as one of the best out there. That's intriguing to me to be sure.<br /><br />All the best,<br />sffSFFhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04256589316922398158noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5407391624985829089.post-49675428042327118712011-10-03T21:25:00.860-04:002011-10-03T21:25:00.860-04:00Found this post via 'Wonders in the Dark' ...Found this post via 'Wonders in the Dark' and it sure was an engrossing read of my favourite PKD movie adaption so far. You may be interested to know that 20 years after a Brian Aldiss serialised script of UBIK or The Three Stigmata of Palmer - for the old BBC TV fell through due the death of ethos and the coming of the pen pushers, the Beeb are now co-producing 'The Man in the High Castle'. With Ridley Scott producing.

But, afterwards approach really added to the film once I got beyond the initial scenes. It's a great PKD story, and as you say, does seem quite personal when all is said and done. Thanks for this.le0pard13https://www.blogger.com/profile/09421175808461787862noreply@blogger.com
