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.

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? _______________________________________________ h-costume mailing list [email protected] http://mail.indra.com/mailman/listinfo/h-costume _______________________________________________ h-costume mailing list [email protected] http://mail.indra.com/mailman/listinfo/h-costume
