Margaret W @RT72268047 5 days ago I come back to this one again and again. It’s quite immersive and I think Fienees does a great job of capturing the many facets of Luther’s personality. I don’t expect a casual watcher to be riveted by this, but for Christians who appreciate Luther’s journey and contribution to church history, this is a compelling film.

If you are even considering this type of movie to begin with, then you will probably enjoy it. See more Jan 25, 2021 A great look at the life of the man who we credit for kickstarting the Protestant Reformation. The movie follows Luther from his entry into the monastery until 1530--the Augsburg Confession. It takes a historically accurate, yet entertaining look at his life. It puts in all the main figures around Luther, such as Prince Frederick, Charles V, Johann von Staupitz, Melanchthon, Spalatin, and Karlstadt, all without overwhelming the viewer. It captures a good amount of Luther's theology and the main quarrel with Rome--indulgences. It leaves out the messier parts of his story, which would be too much to put into the movie anyway. While it does have to telescope many of the events of his life and the evolution of thought, it helps you understand what was happening and his thought process. The only quibble I would have with this movie was the casting of Joseph Fiennes for Luther. Not that Fiennes is a bad actor, rather, that he doesn't play him angrily enough. Luther had a notoriously bad temper. Other than that, this is one of my favorite movies.
