1. A lesson in alt-history as told through the stunning title sequence of @HighCastleTV. We begin on Mount Rushmore, where paratroopers appear as tears on Washington’s cheeks, mourning the destroyed American dream.
2. The sequence then begins to establish the geography of a USA divided — with San Francisco as the hub of the Japanese Pacific States.
3. Projection is utilized throughout like a film reel, which also plays a central role in the story, to juxtapose imagery as well as portray the invading force of the Reich.
4. Lady Liberty stares out at a conquered New York.
5. A model of an alt-Berlin fills the frame depicting a monumental building envisioned by German architects.
6. Chosen as the symbol of resistance in the series, the bald eagle is one of many striking visuals that collide the similarities between US political icons and those of the Reich.
7. The final statue was designed to evoke Joan of Arc—symbolizing Juliana Crain as a resourceful female revolutionary faced with choices of companions and her country’s future in The Man In The #HighCastle.
