I am Yours. Save me.
Luther gives us a wonderful rendering of the life and trials of Martin Luther. This film is well-written and directed in addition to well-acted. Joseph Fiennes is outstanding as Luther, but this is an ensemble cast where everyone gets their moment to shine--Sir Peter Ustinov as Prince Frederick the Wise, Alfred Molina (Spider-Man 2, Raiders of the Lost Ark) as Tetzel and Claire Cox as Katharina Von Bora. The movie follows Luther's spiritual journey as a man who, at first, is angry with God and is certain that God is angry with him to becoming a man who discovers a loving God through Christ in the Scriptures of the New Testament. We see the Luther who stands up to the Catholic leaders of the day and declares to the people that salvation lies not in indulgences or in the Church itself, but in Christ and Christ alone. Luther is a very good movie, not only for Christians, but also for individuals who like good historical films or just good movies PERIOD!
