And "Luther" was a great and compelling movie.

Only got two problems with it, myself. 1)They didn't make any effort to show the passage of time, so for all the audience could tell, everything took place in a year to two. 2)No mention, that I can recall, of justification.

Yes, it was thin on that count.

What I liked was the movie's illustration of Luther's torment as he tried in vian to reconcile the word of God to his church's false teachings -- it nearly drove him mad because it was impossible.

"And I will walk at liberty: for I seek thy precepts...

I am a companion of all them that fear thee, and of them that keep thy precepts...

The proud have forged a lie against me: but I will keep thy precepts with my whole heart...

Let the proud be ashamed; for they dealt perversely with me without a cause: but I will meditate in thy precepts...

They had almost consumed me upon earth; but I forsook not thy precepts...

I will never forget thy precepts: for with them thou hast quickened me...

Through thy precepts I get understanding: therefore I hate every false way." -- Psalm 119:45,63,69,78,87,93,104
