Rating: 5.0
The best religion based film I've ever seen
While "Luther's" historical accuracy is questionable in several places, I believe the spirit of the film is intact. We don't realize how many ways we are blessed in this society. "Luther" takes you back to a time when mothers who couldn't afford to put bread on their tables were buying indulgences for their crippled children. You weren't just expected to ante up for yourself when the collection plate passed, but also to buy your forebears out of Purgatory as well. A common person could not find a _Bible_ written in their own language. Dissemination and interpretation of God's Word was up to the Church--and the Church wasn't precisely interested in getting the straight message across. "Luther" is beautifully done and illustrates a nice segment of these times for us. It's a thought-provoking film I'm glad today's times have allowed to be made--and for us to view. Strongly recommended for young history classes.
