Where corruption grows reformers arise
I purchased the DVD of this film as soon as it came out.The more things change the more they so remain the same. Corrupt clergymen. (Today its the Catholic church and its priests). Theologians who sacrifice the Word of God to Political Correctness. Embracing the abominable to 'get along'. Selling out the world of God and compromising on the abominable to get a few coins. People unfit to be clergy becoming bishops as in the Episcopal Church in the US. In Luther's day, things were just as vile.And Luther, though not the first to take up the cause, stood up to all this corruption. And the western world changed.This movie is his story. The story of the Great Uncompromising Christian Reformer.Admittedly it does not give full depth and cover everything about this great man but no movie or even mini-series can, simply because there is just not enough time. However, it does a good job of it.For those not interested in the message, this film is filled with color and drama. The scenerie of Luther's medieval world well portrayed. Quite lovely. Colorful. Anyone interested in medieval times will enjoy this film for its imagery. Excellent acting.A great film.
