Luther description
Like The Passion of the Christ, Luther is the story of a spiritual leader, German monk Martin Luther (Joseph Fiennes), in opposition to the religious orthodoxy of the time (in his case, the 1500s). His goal--to bring God to the people and to take money, fear, and shame out of the equation--made him a reformer to some, a heretic to others. Released around the same time as Mel Gibson's blockbuster, it failed to attract the same degree of attention--or controversy. Granted, it's a different film, but not radically so. Directed by Eric Till (Bonhoeffer: Agent of Grace), Luther isn't always easy to follow or as emotionally involving as it could be. That said, it's a fascinating story and Fiennes receives solid support from Alfred Molina (Frida), Bruno Ganz (Wings of Desire), and the late Sir Peter Ustinov (Spartacus), in his final film role, as Frederick the Wise. --Kathleen C.

Great story, great movie.
|
| This is a great movie that depicts the life and struggles of Martin Luther. It is educational and interesting, keeping your attention. The acting and scenery are very good. I highly recommend for people of any age, any religious persuasion. Luther had a major impact on western civilization as a whole and Christianity in particular. I believe the History Channel rated him 2nd only to Guttenberg as the most influential persons of the last 1000 years. |
