Product: Luther [ NON-USA FORMAT, PAL, Reg.2 Import - Germany ]
Rating: 5.0
Awe Inspiring.
There is one word to describe the power of this film . . . . awe. This movie really brings to life the internal and external struggles Martin Luther went through when he exposed the lack of Biblical basis for the practice of indulgences by the Catholic Church. As a devout follower of Christ he never dreamed that there would be such violence and clash of kings as a result. But in the end, one cannot help but feel tears in their eyes at the end when the princes all unite and stand by their Confession of Faith, in defiance of Rome. The defiance mainly being simply having the New Testament in their own German language. Fiennes is phenomenal in his portrayal of Luther and the scenery and drama is all excellently done. This is a five star movie and beyond.
