Product: Luther [ NON-USA FORMAT, PAL, Reg.2 Import - Germany ]
Rating: 1.0
very disappointed
It surprised me how lightly the film treats the most important event in the history of the Christian religion. Nothing is said about the deepest thoughts of Martin Luther, nothing about his writings nor the famous 95 theses he nailed to the door of the Wittenberg Church. Why were they so well received by the people? What was the meanings of them? Why are they considered the start of the reformation? It hardly shows the importance of the invention of printing in the spreading of Luther's movement.What is the importance of having a Bible written in German? I missed this and many other topics in the film. It is not a matter of telling facts, it's a matter of introducing people into the mind of a man and the period where he lived. Of understanding why things happened, not in a caricaturist way, but in a real and human sense.It's just a very bad film about something we could have learned a lot.
