Rating: 5.0
Important History, Excellent Drama
One of my favorite movies is BECKET, a historical drama with Richard Burton and Peter O'Toole about the conflict of church and state in 12th Century England.When I saw that a film about Martin Luther was playing in theatres last year, I made it a point to go--especially when I saw that Joseph Fiennes, Alfred Molina and Peter Ustinov were in the cast--and I'm glad I did.LUTHER, like BECKET, is that rare film that dramatizes the life of a saint without draining his humanity and weaknesses. It not only dares to portray a corrupt church system but to also honestly convey one man's genuine struggle to find God. In this case, one man's search for God changed the course of Christianity and human history.After watching this film, I was interested in finding out more about the real Luther.I look forward to adding LUTHER to my DVD collection.
