The Rodeo

We watched this movie last night.

I thought it was pretty good, definitely didn’t treat Christianity in a light manner.
My knowledge of Luther is not that extensive, so I don’t know if it got all the details right, but it made him look right and justified in what he did.

I didn’t like the ending, which states that Luther “brought religious freedom” to Germany. I don’t think that is what he was after at all, he just wanted the corrupt church to stop being corrupt. No mention is made of him wanting people to believe what ever they want, only that he wanted what they believed to be true.

It felt like a cop-out, feel-good blurb on a movie that didn’t need it.

Also, they didn’t need to say how many Christians there are in the world that aren’t Catholic. That is also beside the point.

So, to sum up: good movie, worth watching, next time don’t put text before the closing credits.

RodeoClown: would like a monk’s robe.

Worth a watch.
