Title: Flesh and Bone
Review: Joseph Fiennes fine acting has "humanized" a man that history has somehow had difficulty in fleshing out. Martin Luther is "flesh and bone" in this film. Fiennes has brought warmth and fire into his presentation and Luther is shown with "warts and all." Luther is seen fighting with the devil, cursing him, arguing with him, debating him, wrestling and winning.Fiennes surprises one by his grasp of an incredibly complex man. He easily portrays Luther's many-sidded character: dark and foreboding, humorous and sarcastic, warm and caring, fightened and courageous.This well-crafted film will help explain the life and times of a man who changed the flow of history by his rediscovery of a loving God.
