I saw the movie Saturday afternoon with my wife, son, and future daughter-in-law. I believe the portrayal of the corruption re: indulgences was likely very accurate, as well as the money grubbing corruption of the pope along with his bishops and cardinals.<br><br>The cinematography was very good and the movie gave you a taste of what life was like in that century.<br><br>I thought the Diet of Worms scene was great! and you could sense the pressure that Luther was under at that time.<br><br>The Prince Frederick character was a hoot! Everyone in the theater was laughing.<br><br>Knowing Reformation history, I think the movie fell quite short in giving one a sense of the timing of events in Luther's life. There were obviously quantum leaps in time, and Luther did not seem to age, or gain weight. A lot of events were seemingly thrown together in the remaining minutes of the movie: Luthers marriage, the Augsburg confession etc. And were those Luther's own children at the end of the movie?<br><br>What I would have liked to see were the ensueing debates that Luther engaged in shortly after the posting of his 95 theses so that one could get an even better idea of the issues he was addressing.<br><br>In spite of inaccuracies, I still think the movie was worth the $6 I paid to see it. The producers of the movie probably took quite a risk in broaching the subject. And my hat's off to them for their efforts.
