I agree with Ozzy and Rocket, I think the connections between "a certain film" are more than a line at the end, which is exactly what made this game compelling to me. The film scene in question concerned nazis, who earned their considerable representation in the pantheon of fictional villians. By recasting a familiar scene into a new setting with a new antagonist, The Night Fisherman is a reminder that the evil of xenophobia isn't limited to historical boogiemen. You could make or remake this game a thousand ways, taking place in almost any time and any place (including the USA right now) and the story would still be true.
