Let's see how many Catholics are willing to laud the Luther film.

Can't say I have seen the Luther film. I will definitly rent it when it comes out on video (don't know a theatre showing it here (NorthShore Chicago)). If you do, let me know. As a history nut as well, I loved the costumes. Not a huge fan of Mr. Fiennes, but I love the actor who plays one of the German nobles (forgot actor's name, feel like idiot now). Anyway, God Bless. (Still don't agree with Luther though).

I liked it better than the critics. The best part was that it showed how much Luther owed to Frederick the Wise. With two points I disagree: (1) Frederick never became a Lutheran and (2) Never met Luther.

Let's see how many Catholics are willing to laud the Luther film.

I haven't seen the film, but I give Luther great credit for advancing Western civilization. He surely had flaws, (a deep hatred of Jews being among them) but he was also a great man.
