Luther makes the grade
I have two sons, ages 13 and 16. Last year we went to see the film "Luther" at the theater. We were captivated by the reality of the story and the overwhelmingly human portrayal of this man's life and times. Luther is portrayed as; genuinely human, genuinely distrubed by the spiritual battle raging within him, overwrought with the agony of living up to all the rules and regulations of the Catholic Church, and by the sight of poor people being required to pay to be forgiven, etc.... The compassion and compulsion of Luther is clearly conveyed in this film. The reasons for his actions are clearly depicted in the unveiling of his story. My sons and I have been affected by what we witnessed in this film. We have waited with great anticipation for the release of "Luther" onto DVD, so we could again witness the heroic life of a common man.
