LutherI think this movie is very well done. It is a great historical review of what happened that caused the starting of the protestant arm of Christianity. April 22, 2008
Enligntening Biogophy
This movie taught me much about the birth of the protestant movement and helped me understand where Luther was coming from when he rebelled against the Catholic church. The acting was superb (Fines and Ustinov). I highly recommend this DVD. April 12, 2008
Entertaining
Not history but a great factually-based overview of Luther and his life. They didn't pick an actor that looked like the pictures of Luther that I have seen but close enough for government work. This was an entertaining film. I'd recommend it since it didn't have profuse foul language and sex found in so many films today. March 26, 2008
Understanding history, culture, and crazy religious cults & denominations
As I studied in college courses, I was glad that I had seen this film, and own it. Luther, though a bit of a nutcase, was an important historical figure, and this film explores aspects of the Catholic church which everyone should know about.
Whether you care about religion or not, this information is historically important. The movie is enjoyable, and I recommend it. Protestant people may worry a little, about the foundations of their spiritual path, but people often Refer to Luther and they should know more about him.
College students can save time by watching this film, as well. ;-) March 22, 2008
Great story, great movie.
This is a great movie that depicts the life and struggles of Martin Luther. It is educational and interesting, keeping your attention. The acting and scenery are very good. I highly recommend for people of any age, any religious persuasion. Luther had a major impact on western civilization as a whole and Christianity in particular. I believe the History Channel rated him 2nd only to Guttenberg as the most influential persons of the last 1000 years. February 29, 2008
