This movie is more fantasy than fact. The real Luther, was a crude, anti-Semite, who boinked his maid while married, and is responsible for the slaughter of thousands of peasants. While the Church was corrupt at this time, there was a Catholic reform/renewal movement taking place w/in the Church such as St. Thomas Moore, St. Theresa, the Jesuits, the Oratory, ext.,this movie portrays all Catholics as sinister, the Church as evil,and Luther as a great saint, rather than the deeply troubled, neurotic, sexually addicted,ego maniac he was. The acting was weak. This movie is promoted strongly in many Protesant churches, but needed more balance.
