I don't care if you don't agree with him!
Luther is not about whether Martin Luther was right or wrong or whether the Catholic Church has faults. It is about the fact that everyone can be misinterpreted, that everyone can be mislead, that everyone can be misused. Luther tried to cause change in a nonviolent way, and his followers misinterpreted him. They, like so many other religious sects, used God as an excuse to kill. The movie denounces that, not the Catholic Church. It is the misuse of religious teachings that make religions wrong, not what the texts actually say, and that is a lesson that we all must learn.I don't care if you're Catholic, Lutheran, some other kind of Protestant, Jewish, Muslim, Buddhist, this movie is not trying to convert you. You can say Luther's a madman, a devil, an angel, or a bowl of guacomole. That is what this movie is advocating. The fact that people have a right to speak out for what they believe in, and that it does not matter if you are wrong or right. You have a right to say it, and other people have the right to interpret it with necessary care.That is way Luther is an amazing movie. It is not the incredible music and locations, the brilliant production values, or the amazing performances by its talented cast. It is the message that makes this movie a film that people need to see.
