So hes a character with a lot of built-in contradictions.
And Rick plays him with a lot of authority.
This episode closes the Canon City chapter of the story.
Why finish that adventure up so soon?
Lets move on to Frank and his assassination plan.
[Laughs] Were going through the entire Robert De Niro canon.
Were gonna skipMeet the Fockers, though.
Tell me about why it was important to break Frank down to this level.
It was very much, How does Frank respond?
Because obviously when you meet him, hes just someone whos trying to get along.
But with the deaths of his sister and her children, its just, what can you do?
And it just feels like, as a man, he has to do something.
Thats what hes meant to subconsciously sense when he looks into the innocent face of that little boy.
Something about it helps him see himself in that moment, and he hesitates.
Hes a key figure in the book why insert him now?
He covets their status, their beauty, their taste, their refinement.
And you know, its ridiculous, but its what goes on.
Its like a funhouse mirror version of that.
The Man in the High Castleis available for streaming on Amazon.
