Avis sur le produitLuther (DVD, 2004)

The Accidental Reformer!

I watched this several years ago, thought I had found it worth watching, so years later I bought this copy, and memory hadn't failed me. If you have the docudrama about Luther, "Return to Grace", you'll find these two discs make a fine team. Each gives a bit different perspective on Luther, but the core remains consistent between them, so they make a more complete picture of the man. I'm glad I have both, and I think you will do well to have each of them. Neither goes into Luther's tantrum about the Jews, so if you're looking for that rant, you'll find it in neither. Entertaining story presentation, giving more insight into the Protestant Reformation. Lire l'avis complet...

Real drama that grips anybody

If you believe and agree that anyone, including the church, can be led astray from God's will, watch this movie. The acting is superb and though I'm not a historian or theology expert, the story seems intact with what I know or was taught.Lire l'avis complet...

Luther Illustrates the Protestant Reformation

Every Christian, regardless of his “branch,” needs to have an appreciation of the roots of Protestantism and its birth, the Reformation. This movie will serve well as an introduction to the devout practitioner as well as the casual inquirer. Although it is a dramatization, it is generally historically accurate it keeps the viewer involved in the intrigues of the religious – political dynamics of the day in a way that a documentary could not. The acting is appropriate and convincing with Joseph Finnes doing an excellent portrayal of Luther and memorable tableau role by Peter Ustinov who steals the show. There is surely some poetic license in the development of the characters, but none so far-fetched so that it compromises the integrity of the story.

Some will see the movie as anti-Roman Catholic. Actually, it’s a frank and fair look at the Catholicism of the times and should add to the appreciation of how the Protestant Reformation contributed to the integrity of Catholic Church of today. After all, it was Luther’s intention to reform his church and he succeeded in many ways.

I’d seen the movie when it was in the theaters and decided to add it to my library for my own enjoyment as well for use with my students in an “Inquirers Class.” – Pr. David, Moreno Valley, CALire l'avis complet...

Powerful story!

I'm glad I finally found this DVD in a Region 1 format that works in my player! This is one of my favorite movies of all time. Fiennes' portrayal of Luther is a beautiful picture of the struggles and triumphs of one of the greatest heroes the world has ever known. They do a great job reliving the second most important event in history, taking liberties only when necessary. I recommend you check this movie out!Lire l'avis complet...

Learn to study God's word for yourself, then you will be able test and approe what God's will is. His Good, pleasing and perfect will.

I was so glad to find this video, so I bought 2 so I could share it with others. I've literally seen this movie over 100 times and never get tired of watching it. And, the fact that they were scratch free was awesome.
Luther is about how the Romans had so distorted and perverted the Christian faith in the Catholic church. Kinda like what is going on with the new age religeon right now. Etc, etc, etc. Luther wasn't trying to start a new church, but was trying to straighten out all the lies in the catholic church (at that time) that were being taught. It in no way is condemning the Catholic church. But instead, is telling everyone, "Read the Bible for yourselves" and find out if what you're being taught is truth or a lie.Lire l'avis complet...

Peter Ustinov is terrific

My favorite. I loved Peter Ustinov as Frederik the Wise. A little Hooky at the start with the lightening storm. But that was part of his history.. it really gets rolling when Frederick the Wise confronts the Holy Roman Emperor. Very well doneLire l'avis complet...

A truly educational movie

"Luther" remains true to historical fact and is educational as well as very well acted. It's a good story, and made even better because it really happened as the movie depicts. While it is too advanced for the younger members of a family, I enjoyed the film very much and find it appropriate for teens as well as adults.

Faith based, inspiring Christian true story.

I loved this movie! I usually do not watch faith based movies because some older ones seem to be dark or depressing. I learned a lot about the Lutheran faith also. I bought the movie because I am a Joseph Fiennes fan but ended up loving the movie for it's story. It is based on a true story.Lire l'avis complet...

True Heroes of the Faith

Martin Luther is a true example of servant leadership. In a time when human life is not cherished and the thoughts of giving yourself up for the sake of someone else, Martin Luther proves what it means to truly be committed to Christ.
In a society that balks at any type of authority and screams that all are to be free, we are the most insecure society ever. With true freedom comes responsibility, and we want no part of that.
A man of God, a true hero. If only the men of today would rise up and follow the example. To be true spiritual heads of their household answering to Christ for their words, their deeds and their actions. Taking seriously their committment to family and home.
"Encourage the young men to be self controlled. In everything set them an example by doing what is good. In your teaching show integrity, seriousness, and soundness of speech that cannot be condemned, so that those who oppose you may be ashamed because they have nothing bad to say about us." Titus 2:6-8
"For the word of God is living and active. Sharper than any doubled-edged sword, it penetrates even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow; it judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart." Hebrews 4:12Lire l'avis complet...

Great Historical Movie

I love this movie. I wasn't sure what to expect, but was pleasantly surprised at how entertaining it was. The best thing about it is that it stays true to the history of the Catholic Church & the fight Martin Luther had to endure because of his unwavering love for the truth.Lire l'avis complet...
