Being rather interested in the Reformation, I thought the movie did a great
job of laying out Luther's role and how everything happened in the two hours
allotted to feature films. My own costuming experience is later (1570-1600),
but things looked pretty darn good to me. I really liked it a lot.

Hello all,

yesterday i got a movie out from the Library and was wondering on you all's
reaction /memory of it.  I was not particularly impressed, but then, i was
watching WHILE sewing so, i was not paying as much attention to the movie as
i could have. 

The movie was LUTHER  ( http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0309820/  ) The movie
was not in itself very impressive.  i thought the acting was ok, but there
was no attempt to go in depth so it just seemed like people walking on
stage, then walking off stage, and i did not get much of a feeling of a
story from the movie.

The costumes were also not too impressive.  most looked right, but it just
did not click ion my brain and give me the feeling of clothes for many of
the people.  Like Emperor Charles V's costume was gorgeous, but it looked
like he was wearing a costume, not clothes. 

What did others think?
