    It's also worth pointing out that while Bonhoeffer doubtless knew of plots to kill Hitler, there is no evidence that he was ever involved with any of them. And he certainly never embraced the idea the way the movie suggests. Also, the assassination plot in the film is not the one Bonhoeffer MIGHT have been slightly involved with. And the gun in his hand in the poster is inexcusable.

    I saw the film on Thanksgiving and loved it. I agree with you that the split timing was distracting and confusing. I do disagree with you about the scenes in Harlem, particularly the dance clubs. To me it was heartwarming and showed the very human side of the man. He led with his heart. Those scenes were actually the most entertaining parts of this very grim story too. I also saw a very informative documentary about Bonhoeffer on Amazon Prime, which was helpful to me to understand the story. In the Angel film the assassination attempt seemed unlike the way it was shown in the Amazon film. I didn't fret about the length of the film, it held my interest and that of my friend up until the end.

And how it speaks to our time, not just with the rise of antisemitism, but love or hate President Trump, there is a big similarity with how he has taken power and with how Hitler took power and the rise of populism. Now I am a populist and a nationalist myself. But unchecked it can be very dangerous. And so it just speaks to a lot of what is going on in modern times.

      Great perspective but I’m looking at it as a film critique and how to tell a well focused story in a short run time rather than all the events of his life.

I didn’t mind the run time of the movie at all. I was captivated by the movie. I have been reflecting upon the life of Bonhoeffer and the German people ever since. For me a great movie is one that creates deep and continued reflection. As a Lutheran my entire life and German lineage, I have always heard about Bonhoeffer’s heroism but this movie and the excellent portrayal by Jonas Dassler brought me to a more personal level of “knowing” Bonhoeffer. My deep appreciation for this film.

Are we willing to come out of our silent closet of Christianity in the face of rampant wokeness? What is the cost of our faith? Some may ask why Bonhoeffer insisted on going back to Germany from the safety of the US: God granted him the courage to do it, to set an example of going 100% so that we may be encouraged to go 1%.

      It was certainly a point of distraction for me as well. Truly, all racism is evil. Period. However, I went to see a movie about Bonhoeffer. The hyperbolic retelling of the Harlem connection overshadowed, if not entirely blotted out, the most significant relationships and their impact. Did the movie even convey how Bonhoeffer came to be in the US? Was he the only white guy there? It’s fine if he was, but it is just so unlikely that it felt like propaganda. Of course, I’ve some research to do before actually calling it propaganda. It would be such a travesty if my hunch proves correct, as Bonhoeffer’s life and legacy is quite worthy of retelling accurately. His story certainly stands as anti-racist on its own merit and needs no creative bolstering. Regardless, to summarize his life as one lead fighting the ills of racism, is to miss the forest for the trees.

    • @adamrshields
      @adamrshields Місяць тому

      I haven’t seen the movie, so I can’t comment on the specific presentation. But Harlem was hugely important to Bonhoeffer. Bonhoeffer’s Black Jesus by Reggie Williams is the best book on this. Bonhoeffer doesn’t have categories for the role of the church prior to being at Abyssinian. He says he wasn’t really a Christian prior to his time at Abyssinian. The confessing church was largely opposed to the state control of the church not the antisemitism of the Nazis. Bonhoeffer was not only one to recognize the importance of the antisemitism, but he identifies it in part because of his experience in Harlem and with the racism of the US And while racism in the US and the holocaust were different, it is well documented that Germany sent people to the US to understand the US legal system of segregation as they were implementing anti Jewish regulations. So it is important to recognize the history of that connection.

    I thought your review was spot on. I did love the movie as I'm student of Bonhoeffer and I recorded a video series based on the Eric Metaxas book (Pastor, Martyr, Prophet, Spy) I,too, thought there was too much emphasis on the club scene and really not enough on Bonhoeffer's relationship to the Abyssinian Baptist church. There were a number of attempts to assassinate Hitler - it seemed they put all those attempts into one event. I missed seeing the relationship with his fiancee Maria Von Wedemeyer. She was a very important part of his life and the correspondence between the two while he was imprisoned was profound. His brother in law, Hans, served on the German supreme court & was an important official in the Abwehr and was also arrested and sent to Flossenburg prison. They did not bring out how really significant Hans was in the plot. There could have been more emphasis on the profound impact his discipleship of his seminary students had on the Confessing Church. I do realize this is all part of the nitpicking because there was limited amount of time and also an effort to reach an audience that may know nothing about Bonhoeffer.

I walked into the film, knowing that he was a German Christian, who attempted an assassination on Hitler and nothing else. I also only wanted to review the film as the story they decided to tell, rather than Bonhoeffer’s true life. From what you mentioned, it sounds like it could be an incredible miniseries. I believe if they had additional runtime, they would really be able to tell his story properly. But for a movie, I think it’s best to just focus on one thing. One main plot, and potentially a supply if it aids the main plot. That’s why I made the case that it could be good to cut the subplot with Frank as it does very little to aid the main plot which is the assassination attempt.

Everything in one place. It doesn't appear Eric had any input in the screenplay though. I did have the opportunity to chat with Metaxas about his book.

Especially funny to see a reserved German Lutheran in the mix. However, I see your point about this not really relating to the overall story. Bonhoeffer's interaction with the Abyssinian Baptist church brought life, energy, emotion, and soul to his Christianity. I though the film brought that out but I agree it could have been emphasized more.

He serves both his country and Lord in impactful ways. Cam voices multiple reasons why this is a stellar film. I recommend inviting a group over and having a discussion afterward.

    God calls the Church to be the conscience of the State- but not to be or run the state. Bonhoeffer himself made the point that wielding power is not what we are called to do, and that's the mistake Metaxas and the Christian nationalists make when they try to appropriate Bonhoeffer, who was murdered by a more extreme version of their own ideology. When the roles of Church and State are confused, the State- NOT the Church!- always ends up calling the shots and it's precisely the Church's prophetic role that loses out. The will to power crowds out its witness and makes the Church less than useless.

    I think where people had the problem was they seemed led to believe it was a "retelling" of the book of Hosea from the Bible, not based on a novel "inspired by" the events of said book. That, I believe, is where people drew the line. I haven't seen the movie yet, just the trailer. Judging from what's on there, yeah! Definitely not for little eyes. I haven't seen the movie, just the trailer. BTW, you gave a really solid review and critique! Great job! I'll take all this into consideration should I decide to see it.

    He was pacifist to the end. Great movie. Hadn't heard of him but the movie was so good. Been surfing his Wikipedia ever since, want to read his books and his fiance's complete collection of their correspondences while he was in prison. Such an interesting slice of history from an interesting perspective. Hearing those meme-ified quotes spoken and picturing the people that spoke them was amazing. Really amazing movie. I think that the time he spent in USA was to awaken him. I loved it because it showed us his core memories that gave him strength when he was in prison for years and in concentration camp with no contact with support. Music is therapy, and that was a therapeutic moment he could carry. To be alone like that, you have to look back at moments in your life where you had strong feelings with strong happy memories. I liked this movie because it didn't have gratuitous suffering or violence. It DEFINITELY had it. And I like how it focused on the inner experiences of people who lived through that time, the inner battles to leave or stay, split your family apart, and either way have to bear witness to the suffering. This was his home. His church being overrun, his flock being torn apart. The Sunday school children being forced into military service for a madman. If that's not gruesome enough for you then idk man. Use your imagination. None of those men were naked on screen so you have no idea how they looked, their clothes fit loosely, that tells us how they'd changed. I'm sure just doing the movie was heavy enough. My favorite scene was when his pastor friend who was in England (?) told him that England worried about supply to the church because it could invite invasion from Germany. And Bonhoefer said "INVASION?! My home has been invaded from within!" Just such a moment. His frustration was what kept me so hooked the whole film. Just feeling his feelings and not ignoring his conscience.

      That was one of the movie's biggest flaws. It has Bonhoeffer arguing that killing Hitler was the right thing do do. He regarded it as necessary, but something he needed to repent for.

    I loved this movie. A few possible inaccuracies and a few kind of confusing time skip and rewinds. Other than that. So many of these themes stand true today. I still think everyone should see this movie.

    What amazed me about this movie is the story it told about how Hitler and regime impacted the German church. We’ve seen the historical impact he had, but never from the viewpoint from within the Christian church. He banned the Bible and re-wrote his own version. I literally never knew that. Great film overall, really enjoyed it. Good review!

      Me neither. Such an interesting perspective. When that one guy asked "So there have been no other evil kings since scripture?" Like it's wild how many people just live through these times and do nothing. Say nothing. He immediately heard them worshipping a man and called it out. The movie was really good at showing how much strength and courage it took to speak against your own church and have the strength to stand together. On Wikipedia I looked at the churches that resisted and it's just amazing how few did. Speaking out is so powerful, though. Those people are remembered.

      @@chelseashurmantine8153 This amazed me too! I knew a little about Bonhoeffer, had heard of him most of my life, but didn't know the extent to which the Lutheran church at that time supported Hitler. I asked my brother in law who went to Lutheran seminary in this country shortly after WWII if that was discussed by his professors and he said it was not.
