"Luther"

     In the movie, “Luther”, the famous figure’s life is followed from when he joins the church until the church is finally reformed because of his works. The most impressive accomplishment for him was never stepping down from what he was fighting for and what he believed in. While in front of the cardinal as they ask him disregard his teachings, Martin Luther continued to make an argument as to why he had done nothing wrong, and instead what the Church is doing wrong. If no one were to point out the flaws that were beginning to form, then the problems would never be fixed. Martin Luther displayed bravery by trying to make a change, even though he knew his position in the church and his life would be on the line. Luther also showed compassion towards the people that he preached in his church no matter what they have done or incapable of, such as Gretel. When Luther spotted her body, he covered her body with his blanket, because he was continuing to look after her one last time. Because Luther stood up for the church, more reformations have been made such as Calvinism and the Church of England. He started the English Reformation, which would impact the rest of history.
