"In ordinary life we hardly realize that we receive a great deal more than we give, and that it is only with gratitude that life becomes rich." Dietrich Bonhoeffer
Bonhoeffer family to Eric Metaxas: “We are horrified to see how the legacy of Dietrich Bonhoeffer is…being distorted and misused…” John Fea | October 20, 2024 Leave a Comment Eric Metaxas’s use of Dietrich Bonhoeffer’s legacy has caught the attention of the Bonhoeffer family. We’ve covered Metaxas’s misuse of Bonhoeffer here: Charles Marsh unleashes a devastating assault on court evangelical Eric Metaxas’s misuse of Bonhoeffer as it relates to Black Lives Matter Dietrich Bonhoeffer on Stupidity Eric Metaxas Vs. Every Bonhoeffer Scholar in the World “An Open Letter to Christians Who Love Bonhoeffer but (Still) Support Trump” Eric Metaxas: “Biden is our Hitler” The Bonhoeffer family has had enough. Here is the family statement: We are horrified to see how the legacy of Dietrich Bonhoeffer is increasingly being distorted and misused by right-wing extremists, xenophobes, and religious agitators. As direct descendants of the seven siblings of the theologian and resistance fighter executed by the Nazis, we can testify based on what we learned from our families that he was a peace-loving, freedom-loving humanitarian. Never would he have seen himself associated with far-right, violent movements such as Christian Nationalists and others who are trying to appropriate him today. On the contrary, he would have strongly and loudly condemned these attitudes. A key figure in this abuse is Eric Metaxas, whose 2010 biography of Bonhoeffer was first published in the United States and sold more than a million copies in 20 languages. In the book, he ignored the historical context and misrepresented Bonhoeffer as a fundamentalist Evangelical. Metaxas, now a right-wing Trump supporter, regularly compares US President Biden to Hitler, speaks of ‘total war’ and posts photos of a gun on a Bible: “So we can now finally clearly see that Biden is our Hitler. In 1933-34. See my Bonhoeffer book for details. The parallels are staggering and increasingly obvious. Pray for this nation. PRAY.” The right-wing evangelical production company Angel Studios has secured the rights to a new Bonhoeffer movie, and this is now their advertisement on X: “The battle against tyranny begins now. Watch Bonhoeffer: Pastor. Spy. Assassin”. The accompanying image shows Dietrich Bonhoeffer holding a gun. The history-distorting biopic, which turns Bonhoeffer into an evangelical saint, is scheduled to hit theaters shortly after the U.S. presidential election. Dietrich Bonhoeffer was not a lone fighter. The Bonhoeffer family was a tight-knit unit and worked together closely during this time. Dietrich’s brother Klaus and his brothers-in-law Hans von Dohnanyi and Rüdiger Schleicher were executed for their resistance activities, just like Dietrich. They were driven by the search for truth, honesty, humanity and the struggle for freedom, the rule of law and democracy. They repudiated religious zealotry, nationalism, militarism, and blind obedience. Those who invoke Dietrich Bonhoeffer to justify anti-democratic, xenophobic aspirations are either misinformed or malicious. The tasteless trivialization of Bonhoeffer’s legacy has encouraged this misuse: he was a complex thinker who was primarily concerned with ethical issues. Unlike the majority of Germans, he did not turn a blind eye to the disenfranchisement, oppression, and mass murder that took place under Nazi dictatorship. His quotes have been taken out of context and reduced to set pieces for all kinds of occasions. More recently, they have increasingly been used by many whose intentions are diametrically opposed to Bonhoeffer’s thoughts and actions; ranging from Project 2025 - the Heritage Foundation’s proposed program for Trump-to the German right-wing extremist Björn Höcke. In a recent statement, theologians and historians who have studied Dietrich Bonhoeffer and his environment, have again spoken out against this appropriation. We are grateful for this. We descendants can bear witness to the attitude passed on in the family. We grew up listening to frequent talk and debate about resistance to National Socialism, its motives and consequences. At a time when intolerance, antisemitism and other forms of racism and xenophobia, nationalism and authoritarianism are on the rise around the world, we believe it is important to clarify publicly: Dietrich Bonhoeffer fought narrow-mindedness, oppression, and exclusion throughout his life. The abuse of Dietrich Bonhoeffer’s legacy by Christian Nationalists and others is of such cynicism that we are unlikely to convince these demagogues. But we call on American voters in particular: Do not be deceived. Look carefully at history. Only by working together, in the spirit of freedom and concern for others, will we be able to solve our problems. This is what Dietrich Bonhoeffer stands for.

This is literally a prayer answered. Reading his biography was not enough. He is such an inspiring man devoted to his unwavering faith in God. Thanks, angel studios!
@@manaman9625 There is no one christian rule, about 40000 kind of Christians are and they are opposite to each other :D But more funny is that they all believe in non existent fantasy person lol
I am looking forward to Bonhoeffer finally getting the attention he deserves, not only for his unwavering faith in God, but also for his righteous bravery in the fight to destroy a demonic enemy. Thank you Angel studios. I will attend its release along with my entire family.
After Sounds of Freedom I started watching your films. I’m impressed of the quality for an independent company. This trailer made me emotional. I was tired of watching content without meaning. I stopped going to the cinema, but I really want to watch this movie now. Keep creating art. You clearly know what you are doing. Thanks.
You encapsulated that perfectly: Hollywood is content without meaning. It's all one giant commercial for the next thing. I stopped going about 8 years ago and started going to Church again. One of the best decisions I've ever made.
I felt the same way but finally just watched it and am so glad I did. It was extremely well made with the utmost reverance toward such a sensitive subject. Highly recommend seeing it FOR the sake of the innocent children. 🙏
I do so hope this film will be released in South Africa. Bonhoeffer was a touchstone of faith and a hero for us here during the dark days of Apartheid South Africa. The late Rev John Boorman - our Methodist minister in the 70s often referenced him in his sermons. Bonhoeffer's faith and compassion was an inspiration to those from the English churches who were standing up for those who were marginalised, persecuted and unseen. So grateful to Angel Studios for telling his story.
Ending Apartheid was not godly or Christian. It was a Marxist motivated act of suicidal compassion. Apartheid was a rational moral law that protected a civilized people from a low intelligence highly violent and criminal group. Now SA is a hell hole. Violence is rampant. It's the rape capital in of the world. Whites are under siege and being murdered for their land. I infrastructure is failing, institutions collapsing as the incapable take over for the capable. Total foolishness. "Christians " who hate their own people and deny the truth are not Christians
I am SO EXCITED for this film!! My German father of Jewish descent (but of Christian faith) taught us all our lives about the great Bonhoeffer and I am STOKED now to see his story on the screen for all the world to know. I never go to theatres but I will be there on opening day for this one! (Also my friend is in it, and that's incredibly cool, but definitely secondary to the important story.)
There are a lot of good movies out in theaters, especially from Angel Studios. My wife and I have seen some amazing movies without the language, etc. Keep your eye open for them.
@@lufesaro7741 It's true that he held some theological beliefs that don't line up with the beliefs of many (possibly even most? it's hard to say for sure) Christian sects. I personally disagree strongly with some of his theology (as did my father, just for the record), and that makes me sad. I do, however, believe that he, along with many others, was an absolute hero of his time and have huge respect for his struggle against hatred and evil in his country.
@theoriginaledi Can we still believe he's saved. I mean ive heard many wild accusations like he didnt believe Christ resurrected, etc.. I dont think I buy those accusations
@@lufesaro7741 I would never presume to know the condition of another person's heart, especially a person that I've never known or talked to personally. I certainly hope very much that he was a true believer. But based on his writings, particularly later in his life, he doesn't seem to have even believed in the idea of individual salvation, much less accepted it for himself. I'd suggest reading either his books or reliable analyses of his books (again, particularly the later ones) so that you can draw your own conclusions.
Thank you for this movie. His faith and courage should be honored. People need to know many Germans did oppose the Nazis. My grandmother was one of them, also devout Lutheran.
@@Nashvillain10SE Bonnhoeffer spent some time in the US before returning to NAZI Germany just before war broke out. He was very impressed by the Abyssinian Baptist Church in Harlem and Adam Clayton Powell, Sr.
@@Nashvillain10SE Hard to tell just from the trailer, but I assume so. Like I said, he spent some time in New York in the 30s and was very sympathetic to black struggles over racism.
Disturbed's cover of the sound of silence is one of my all time favorite song. A movie trailer has to be really good to be worthy of this song, you guys nailed it. Looking forward to the movie!
Cinematography is by John Mathieson - who shot many films for Ridley Scott, including Gladiator and Kingdom of Heaven. He also shot this film's November competition - Gladiator II.
have u ever learned about the holodomor? why is there a million movies about the holobunga but non about when jewish communists genocided 10-15 million christians?
Oh, my word! I have been so anxious to see this man’s story on the big screen. He has been a hero to me for a long time. I pray that his story inspires many of us to rise up in the perilous times that we now live in.
An inspiring account of the much needed story. How many of us stay silent when we see injustices. My husband & I watched it in theaters and was sad to see the theater empty, with just the two of us.
I left the theater speechless and feeling oddly empowered. I felt like I was a new Christian again...full of awe and inspiration. This movie really is so beautifully done. You cannot escape the impact of Bonhoeffer. He affected so many people and now through your film and the book, maybe millions more. Congrats on a stunning and profound movie.
So many things about this movie were incredible. The script and acting particularly so. Every tiny detail was shining with sincerity, earnestness, and a sort of... otherworldly peace. I was so impressed and moved.
Cried through 3 repeated watches of this trailer. It is HIGH TIME this man’s life and courage is brought to film. As a teenager in the early 2000s I loved this man’s story so much and saw him as such a hero of the faith that I was determined to name one of my future kids Dietrich. 😌 Cannot wait to see this and from what I’ve seen so far, I feel Angel Studios is going to do him justice and I’m so grateful for that.
The song on the trailer gives me chills. Vince is incredibly intense. Can't wait to see this movie. Thank you Angel Studio for spreading the word like you do.
i mean someone to proposes over 10 peace treaties does not sound evil to me, also using black christians to show christian acceptance is ironic. because Christians have way more bodies then germany in the 1940s. it is all just pandering to me
The editing for this trailer -- especially with the appropriation of this song, specifically -- is outstanding. As the noted himself: "To not act, is to act. To not speak, is to speak." He chose to act, to speak -- to demonstrate that grace, though freely given, was is not cheap but costly. Very much looking forward to the viewing.
have u ever learned about the holodomor? why is there a million movies about the holobunga but non about when jewish communists genocided 10-15 million christians?
As they should, and I'm loving it... If only I could work for or with them, as an aspiring filmmaker from South Africa 🇿🇦, I hate the ungodly content that is constantly released.
This was phenomenal. Super impactful, inspiring not just sad. Utter silence in the theater when the credits roled. Just utter respect and introspection in the audience as the different text showed.
Wow! Probably the best Christian trailer I've seen since Passion of the Christ over 20+ yrs ago. Bonhoeffer's story is a powerful one. May we remember the errors of Germany's ways and may God bless this film.
I think the film is meant to remind us of the error of our ways today in America. Bonhoeffer's legacy is, in part, the importance of resisting religious rationales for state terror and oppression.
have u ever learned about the holodomor? why is there a million movies about the holobunga but non about when jewish communists genocided 10-15 million christians?
And we should stand up in America. This is what's happening in America and has been for a little while. Now is the time to stand! We are being invaded from within. Thank the Lord Trump is still fighting for our freedom.
Saw this last night with 4 other friends and family. WW2 has always fascinated me and this was a piece of history I hadn't heard about. Thank you. Well done.
Oh my gosh. Im not normally into these kinds of movies, but absolutely fascinated with WWII. I want so badly to see this movie. I trust Angel Studios to do an amazing job and i want to support REAL movies. The trailer is the absolutely best trailer ive ever seen. Had me on the edge of my seat and my heart racing and just the EMOTION from a TRAILER. Cannot wait to see this
Cannot wait. Looks incredible. 'Cost of Freedom' is one of my favorite films. As someone born in Berlin, Bonhoeffer's story has always hit me on another level.
Looks great! I'd love to see more of these films on heroes of the Christian faith. In particular, I'd like to see films on David Wilkerson ('The Cross & The Switchblade') + Nicky Cruz ('Run Baby Run'), like a part 1 & 2, but also a fresh adaptation of 'The Hiding Place'.

Angel studios always does very well and I always enjoy their movies. I hadn't heard anything about this and I wasn't interested in going to see it until I heard that it was Angel studios, then I immediately wanted to go watch it. Thanks, thumbs up, have a great day.
I just got my tickets for November 21st! Bringing the tissues! The beauty of people standing against evil, the beauty of people loving Jesus in the most desperate of times allows me to cry for the Goodness of God, and the tragedy of mankind. Thank you Jesus, for everything. 💗🙏✝️ Oh yeah, and this version of the song is crazy good!!
I literally prayed that tonight! I prayed for all those who are lost, and begged God for them, for their souls, that they shouldn't perish. To give them a chance at redemption. To allow them into His Glory. I can't lead them all to Christ but I can pray that God will have mercy on them.
Mieszkam 6 km od wsi, w której mieszkała babcia Marii von Wedemeyer ( Ruth von Kleist-Retzow ) i w której prawdopodobnie napisał wiele fragmentów swojej "Etyki". Mama Marii pochodziła z pruskiego Kieckow (Kikowa). Cieszę się, że powstaje ten film, bo Dietrich bywał wielokrotnie na naszych terenach i przez to jest mi jeszcze bardziej bliski.
THIS LOOKS SO INCREDIBLY GOOD. I haven't been excited for a movie like this in years! There are so many heroic tales out there. To find them and tell them well takes great talent!
Just saw this movie at AMC Screen Unseen. Had no idea what we were in for, but wow it was awe-inspiring and impactful. I'm not religious, but seeing the way he was portrayed as truly devoted to his religion and saving his country was enough to make me shed tears at least twice during the movie (my mom probably 8 times) - acting was amazing and I'm glad I got to learn the story of Bonhoeffer
Funny how all the evangelicals I know aren’t telling me how much I should see this movie. This will be the first movie about the church that I encourage them to see.
Have always loved this song but the first time I heard this version it just blew me away. The voice control is amazing and I did guess that he's a trained singer.
Just returned from watching Bonhoeffer. Excellent film about an extraordinary human being who truly lived the Christian faith. The acting, cinematography, music, literally everything was fantastic! A work of art. I was so moved by this film. We need to support faith based films. Looking forward to supporting more films from Angel Studios. Thank you for producing quality films. 🙏❤️✝️
1:14 That vocal gives me chills. Perfect song for this amazing trailer. Bonhoeffer's testament to faith always shakes me to my core. Thank you for this film and music.
Angel Studios making filmmaking great again!! 🇺🇸 First with Sound of Freedom, Cabrini and then some other films during the summer. This one should be stricking gold!!!! 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻
I was never the biggets fan of disturbed version of this song, but my god does it really hold power with this trailer! Well done on this, and I cant wait to see the film
I've always admired Bonhoeffer, loved the Barmen Declaration, and studied the Deutche Christen heresy and persecution. It's always been a shame to me that we haven't had them depicted in a movie like this, and here it is! I'm so excited.
This is a profetic warning of what is to come. Choose this day whom you are to serve. I pray we choose Abba, whom shed the blood of Messiah to bring us close to Him.
I went Into the film thinking it was a Biography. The plot was confusing until the very end when I figured out it was anti genocide propaganda with a taste of Bonhoeffer.. the meat and potatoes of Bonhoeffer and his significance was watered down. Overall, looking at it as propaganda, I liked it. I agree with the message.
I read Eric Metaxas book about him a decade ago, and what struck me the most were two things: most Christians supported Hitler, Bonhoeffer believed actions against evil is just as important in faith as studying/preaching/pastoring. It's a curious time we are living in, and it's also very curious Eric himself became one of the biggest Trump supporter in the Christian world.
Eberhard Bethge wrote a wonderful biography. He was Bonhoeffer’s assistant, and a good bit of the information is first hand, which is great. The film is more half-baked reality, but I’m hopeful that it might be…entertaining.
I was especially touched when Bonhoeffer says "Invasion? My country was invaded from within." The timing of the release of this film in the USA could not be better. We shall see who will be a hero and who will be a coward in the next few years. God bless the USA and all the world. Pray for us all.
Thank you, Kampourises for making this important film! Encountered Bonhoeffer during the two years I studied the holocaust and the Nazi era in German History at the university masters level. While i greatly appreciate Eric Metaxis, Bonhoeffer would have appalled to hear himself called a “martyr,” so you got that part right. Bonhoeffer did do some service as a pastor but was known and highly respected as a professor of ethics on both side of the Atlantic, which is why he was chosen to be the world spokesman for the Valkyrie group had they succeeded. Delighted you are telling his timely story!
Bonhoeffer was not silent on societal and political evils that were against Christ and his Word. He was outspoken against the evil gaining power, even political power in Germany. Many modern reformed evangelicals today, especially those apart of the “gospel centered movement”, will watch and love this movie, not even realizing they are nothing like Bonhoeffer when it comes to his Christlike boldness.
Too bad the Lutheran church was complicit with the Nazi regime. It was a relatively small cadre of Lutherans known as the Confessing Church who stayed true to scripture and stood against authoritarian genocide. Bonhoeffer is the best known due to his writing while in prison.
Luther was actually an anti-semitic..Hitler was even inspired by Martin's book..The Jews and their Lies. Bonhoeffer was a courageous man of G-d & he was nothing like Luther. Many blessings✨
When I learn about the true history of WWII, movies like this remind me how good the JPower is at allowing movies to be promoted. JTube would never allow the real history to be told.
Angel Stuidos has been bought by the small hat people it’s no wonder this is coming out. On top of that the show Chosen now has a Jewish advisory board to make sure they don’t “misinform” anyone
May our great Father in Heaven give His people now the grace and strength to stand in and for the Truth in this day we live in, as Bonhoeffer and many others have. We are seeing the same things that took place then happening right now. History sadly repeats itself.
I have dificulties with Music not present in the time period the movie takes place… in this case classical, church Music or jazz would be more fitting in my opinion
Thanks so much for including our music in this incredible film 🙏🙏
Yo
YOOO ITS DISTURBED
What's it called?
@@jacindaellison3363 sound of silence at least their cover of it
@@Morerawstrawberry7026 thanks!
Bonhoeffer's last recorded words were, “this is the end for me, the beginning of life.”
Only Jesus!❤🙂

I am SO EXCITED for this film!! My German father of Jewish descent (but of Christian faith) taught us all our lives about the great Bonhoeffer and I am STOKED now to see his story on the screen for all the world to know. I never go to theatres but I will be there on opening day for this one! (Also my friend is in it, and that's incredibly cool, but definitely secondary to the important story.)
There are a lot of good movies out in theaters, especially from Angel Studios. My wife and I have seen some amazing movies without the language, etc. Keep your eye open for them.
Do you know why some people disparage him as a heretic? I have always admired bonhoeffer, I dont get why some people slander him
@@lufesaro7741 It's true that he held some theological beliefs that don't line up with the beliefs of many (possibly even most? it's hard to say for sure) Christian sects. I personally disagree strongly with some of his theology (as did my father, just for the record), and that makes me sad. I do, however, believe that he, along with many others, was an absolute hero of his time and have huge respect for his struggle against hatred and evil in his country.
@theoriginaledi Can we still believe he's saved. I mean ive heard many wild accusations like he didnt believe Christ resurrected, etc.. I dont think I buy those accusations
@@lufesaro7741 I would never presume to know the condition of another person's heart, especially a person that I've never known or talked to personally. I certainly hope very much that he was a true believer. But based on his writings, particularly later in his life, he doesn't seem to have even believed in the idea of individual salvation, much less accepted it for himself. I'd suggest reading either his books or reliable analyses of his books (again, particularly the later ones) so that you can draw your own conclusions.
Thank you for this movie. His faith and courage should be honored. People need to know many Germans did oppose the Nazis. My grandmother was one of them, also devout Lutheran.
Thank you to her. You must be proud of her. ❤
@@jackiekuykendall8368 Yes, my oma was a wonderful woman. She passed away in 1989 but still miss her. She left a great legacy.
@@rosevillewoman2055 Indeed. I am sure she has inspired you.
Amazing!
Did your grandmother oppose degeneracy The Weimar Republic was infested with?
"Hate comes in every Colour"
A healthy reminder that all of us need accountability.
Me, You, Everyone.
That scene surprised me. How many black folks were there in Nazi Germany? Was this creative license?
@@Nashvillain10SE Bonnhoeffer spent some time in the US before returning to NAZI Germany just before war broke out. He was very impressed by the Abyssinian Baptist Church in Harlem and Adam Clayton Powell, Sr.
@@talmadgewalker279 Was the setting for that scene in the U.S.?
@@Nashvillain10SE Hard to tell just from the trailer, but I assume so. Like I said, he spent some time in New York in the 30s and was very sympathetic to black struggles over racism.
@@Nashvillain10SE yeah it’s literally on the stairs of the Lincoln memorial in front of the Washington monument
I’ve been waiting for this story to be told on the big screen for awhile. Very glad to see this happening.
Matthew 27:25
OUTSTANDING movie and inspiring story. You never know when you might be the 1 person who makes the difference.❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Disturbed's cover of the sound of silence is one of my all time favorite song. A movie trailer has to be really good to be worthy of this song, you guys nailed it. Looking forward to the movie!
Matthew 27:25
Cinematography is by John Mathieson - who shot many films for Ridley Scott, including Gladiator and Kingdom of Heaven. He also shot this film's November competition - Gladiator II.
This gave me chills. This man is a true Father of the Faith and a picture of true belief and martyrdom.
why can't they do one about the crusades????
Sophie Scholl was way more hardcore
@@captainpinky8307probably because they murdered and indoctrinated thousands of people
Those with a false faith are false martyrs.
have u ever learned about the holodomor? why is there a million movies about the holobunga but non about when jewish communists genocided 10-15 million christians?
Every time I go to watch an Angel Studios movie in theaters I always see a trailer to an even better one.
Oh, my word! I have been so anxious to see this man’s story on the big screen. He has been a hero to me for a long time. I pray that his story inspires many of us to rise up in the perilous times that we now live in.
Amen
An inspiring account of the much needed story. How many of us stay silent when we see injustices. My husband & I watched it in theaters and was sad to see the theater empty, with just the two of us.
Wow. I have chills. CANNOT WAIT TO SEE THIS IN THEATERS!!
feel free to repost on social media!!
same here! Chills
I left the theater speechless and feeling oddly empowered. I felt like I was a new Christian again...full of awe and inspiration. This movie really is so beautifully done. You cannot escape the impact of Bonhoeffer. He affected so many people and now through your film and the book, maybe millions more. Congrats on a stunning and profound movie.
Does the movie have subtitles?
'Sound of silence' in the background is perfect
Suits perfectly for the movie.
Or absurd
@@pantaraxianah
Perfectly ridiculous! Made me cringe so hard I almost don't even want to see the film.
@@mement0_m0riThe parallels between his life, the confessing churches movement to oppose Hitler and the song fit perfectly.
So many things about this movie were incredible. The script and acting particularly so. Every tiny detail was shining with sincerity, earnestness, and a sort of... otherworldly peace. I was so impressed and moved.
Cried through 3 repeated watches of this trailer. It is HIGH TIME this man’s life and courage is brought to film. As a teenager in the early 2000s I loved this man’s story so much and saw him as such a hero of the faith that I was determined to name one of my future kids Dietrich. 😌 Cannot wait to see this and from what I’ve seen so far, I feel Angel Studios is going to do him justice and I’m so grateful for that.
This gave me chills. I cannot wait to see this. I have read Bonhoeffer’s biography by Eric Metaxes and he was amazing. Such a hero for us today.
So happy I was part of this production, I can't wait. It's gonna be beautiful.
The song on the trailer gives me chills. Vince is incredibly intense. Can't wait to see this movie. Thank you Angel Studio for spreading the word like you do.
yes its by the band "disturbed" . he is such an incredible singer!
Always great to see stories of heroic resistance to evil. Here's one for you. Fr. Maximillian Kolbe.
St. Alexander Schmorell
Edith Stain, Saint Teresa Benedicta of the Cross
i mean someone to proposes over 10 peace treaties does not sound evil to me, also using black christians to show christian acceptance is ironic. because Christians have way more bodies then germany in the 1940s. it is all just pandering to me
The editing for this trailer -- especially with the appropriation of this song, specifically -- is outstanding.
As the noted himself: "To not act, is to act. To not speak, is to speak." He chose to act, to speak -- to demonstrate that grace, though freely given, was is not cheap but costly.
Very much looking forward to the viewing.
OMG!!! I had just finished his biography and thought to myself...someone really needs to make his movie. And here it is!!! Tysm!!! 😍😍😍
One of my favorite Christian heroes along with Corrie Ten Boom
Mine too!
@@debracrews449wouldn't be awesome if Angels Studio did more missionary movies for like Amy Carmichael or Elisabeth Elliot?
Mine too!! The Hiding Place always sends shivers down my spine.
@@saradorris3554You should look into the life of New Martyr Elizabeth, Grand Duchess of Russia.
have u ever learned about the holodomor? why is there a million movies about the holobunga but non about when jewish communists genocided 10-15 million christians?
wow. Angles studios is truly shifting the movie culture
As they should, and I'm loving it... If only I could work for or with them, as an aspiring filmmaker from South Africa 🇿🇦, I hate the ungodly content that is constantly released.
not with trailers like this. the movie itself seems awesome but these trailers are flat out embarrassing.
It is a shifting faith-based movie as it has a known history of poor preaching to the choir tropes.
Show what is happening in real time
A movie about a gay pastor. Also, constant German bashing is so tiresome.
This is the most I’ve been excited for a movie in literally years.
This song "Sound of Silence" sung by Jewish David Draiman is perfect! It was the silence of the world that allowed the Holocaust to happen.
I agree. It’s a PERFECT choice. Chills
@@reddae6910the world was not silent. We had a war, did you miss that part?
@@janelleg597Haha, exactly! You can't get any less silent on a subject than fighting a war over it!
@@janelleg597 oh but the world WAS silent, and still is silent. The world is filled with evil now because people stay silent and it's deafening.
@@1952keg
Maybe we fought against the wrong enemy 🤔
This was phenomenal. Super impactful, inspiring not just sad. Utter silence in the theater when the credits roled. Just utter respect and introspection in the audience as the different text showed.
Wow!
Probably the best Christian trailer I've seen since Passion of the Christ over 20+ yrs ago.
Bonhoeffer's story is a powerful one. May we remember the errors of Germany's ways and may God bless this film.
I think the film is meant to remind us of the error of our ways today in America. Bonhoeffer's legacy is, in part, the importance of resisting religious rationales for state terror and oppression.
have u ever learned about the holodomor? why is there a million movies about the holobunga but non about when jewish communists genocided 10-15 million christians?
Thanks for produce Bohnhoeffer's history. It can't be forgotten.
This is exactly the movie our society needs right now. I can't wait for this!
I wish it would have been released earlier this year. :/
Except for how we've been taken over by neo-Bolshevism, not National Socialism.
I CAN'T wait, his story needs to be told worldwide. Belivers should stand up for the oppressed and the minority ✊🏿
Amen. Stand up for the disabled and elderly.
And we should stand up in America. This is what's happening in America and has been for a little while. Now is the time to stand! We are being invaded from within. Thank the Lord Trump is still fighting for our freedom.
Saw this last night with 4 other friends and family. WW2 has always fascinated me and this was a piece of history I hadn't heard about. Thank you. Well done.
I am so stoked for this Angel studios just keeps putting out these bangers!
Oh my gosh. Im not normally into these kinds of movies, but absolutely fascinated with WWII. I want so badly to see this movie. I trust Angel Studios to do an amazing job and i want to support REAL movies. The trailer is the absolutely best trailer ive ever seen. Had me on the edge of my seat and my heart racing and just the EMOTION from a TRAILER. Cannot wait to see this
Cannot wait. Looks incredible. 'Cost of Freedom' is one of my favorite films. As someone born in Berlin, Bonhoeffer's story has always hit me on another level.
“Sound of freedom”
Looks great! I'd love to see more of these films on heroes of the Christian faith. In particular, I'd like to see films on David Wilkerson ('The Cross & The Switchblade') + Nicky Cruz ('Run Baby Run'), like a part 1 & 2, but also a fresh adaptation of 'The Hiding Place'.
Thank you for sharing!
Those are great ideas for film!
Wait, Boenhoffer planned to adsasinate Hitler. Is that violate Christian principles?
those would be legit. Great material for uplifting stories that glorify God
The Cross and the Switchblade as well as The Hiding Place are phenomenal stories!!
This is such an incredible story. As a Lutheran, with family stories from this time, it means a lot.
have u ever learned about the holodomor? why is there a million movies about the holobunga but non about when jewish communists genocided 10-15 million christians?
Angel studios always does very well and I always enjoy their movies. I hadn't heard anything about this and I wasn't interested in going to see it until I heard that it was Angel studios, then I immediately wanted to go watch it.
Thanks, thumbs up, have a great day.
I just got my tickets for November 21st! Bringing the tissues! The beauty of people standing against evil, the beauty of people loving Jesus in the most desperate of times allows me to cry for the Goodness of God, and the tragedy of mankind. Thank you Jesus, for everything. 💗🙏✝️ Oh yeah, and this version of the song is crazy good!!
I literally prayed that tonight! I prayed for all those who are lost, and begged God for them, for their souls, that they shouldn't perish. To give them a chance at redemption. To allow them into His Glory. I can't lead them all to
Christ but I can pray that God will have mercy on them.
Mieszkam 6 km od wsi, w której mieszkała babcia Marii von Wedemeyer ( Ruth von Kleist-Retzow ) i w której prawdopodobnie napisał wiele fragmentów swojej "Etyki". Mama Marii pochodziła z pruskiego Kieckow (Kikowa). Cieszę się, że powstaje ten film, bo Dietrich bywał wielokrotnie na naszych terenach i przez to jest mi jeszcze bardziej bliski.
Bonhoeffer + Disturbed's version of Sound of Silence = 100% Bravo!
I am sorry, I am allergic to Music not fitting the timeframe of the story… prefer original jazz or classical Music in this case
Yes! Such a perfect, perfect choice. Love this version of the song.
The best version. Love it.
THIS LOOKS SO INCREDIBLY GOOD. I haven't been excited for a movie like this in years! There are so many heroic tales out there. To find them and tell them well takes great talent!
Just saw this movie at AMC Screen Unseen. Had no idea what we were in for, but wow it was awe-inspiring and impactful. I'm not religious, but seeing the way he was portrayed as truly devoted to his religion and saving his country was enough to make me shed tears at least twice during the movie (my mom probably 8 times) - acting was amazing and I'm glad I got to learn the story of Bonhoeffer
🥱🥱🥱🥱
Hollywood isn't history.
❤
Funny how all the evangelicals I know aren’t telling me how much I should see this movie. This will be the first movie about the church that I encourage them to see.
Couldn't help but cry when he said, "I am ready to meet my destiny. " My dad's last words were "I am ready" before he went to be with the Lord.
This movie is so apropos for us today. What depth of personal courage he had to stand up when sitting would have been understandable.
I feel the same way. Just saw the movie today, 11/23/2024. Highly recommend. Definitely has a message we need heard today.
Have always loved this song but the first time I heard this version it just blew me away. The voice control is amazing and I did guess that he's a trained singer.
Thank you for making this movie! It was awesome!
This man is a great Christian hero. He deserves to be remembered.
lol no
sending a christian to do the work of the people who killed jesus is like feeding a pig bacon
What a cover !!!! I love so much when filmmakers find the perfect song to fit their film
Just returned from watching Bonhoeffer. Excellent film about an extraordinary human being who truly lived the Christian faith. The acting, cinematography, music, literally everything was fantastic! A work of art. I was so moved by this film. We need to support faith based films. Looking forward to supporting more films from Angel Studios. Thank you for producing quality films. 🙏❤️✝️
1:14 That vocal gives me chills. Perfect song for this amazing trailer. Bonhoeffer's testament to faith always shakes me to my core. Thank you for this film and music.
By far one of the best movies ever!!!!
A must see! Go see it and support! ♡
Angel Studios making filmmaking great again!! 🇺🇸 First with Sound of Freedom, Cabrini and then some other films during the summer. This one should be stricking gold!!!! 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻
The biography by Eric Metaxes is unforgettable. I can’t wait to see the film!
EVERYONE absolutely needs to read this biography! It was life changing for me! An incredible man!
@@hellotweety9174 Eric Metaxes is a right wing freak. Nothing good about him. Bonhoeffer would have hated him.
I was never the biggets fan of disturbed version of this song, but my god does it really hold power with this trailer! Well done on this, and I cant wait to see the film
I'm excited to go to the theaters today and watch this incredible film!
VERY provocative! I can't wait to see this in theatres @AngelStudios!
I have read this book twice. Faithful, courageous man.
I've always admired Bonhoeffer, loved the Barmen Declaration, and studied the Deutche Christen heresy and persecution. It's always been a shame to me that we haven't had them depicted in a movie like this, and here it is! I'm so excited.
Powerful. The music with the trailer, powerful. Excellent.
After seeing what’s happening in Gaza, I don’t know what to believe. Especially what I was taught in history class.
Nothing beats true stories (ie.e TESTIMONIES)
Absolutely
This trailer goes hard. The music pairing is phenomenal.
12/10 movie. Wow. YOU MUST GO SEE THIS IN THEATERS!
I gotta say this looks indeed great. "The sounds of silence." Gave me chills.
This is a profetic warning of what is to come. Choose this day whom you are to serve. I pray we choose Abba, whom shed the blood of Messiah to bring us close to Him.
I went Into the film thinking it was a Biography. The plot was confusing until the very end when I figured out it was anti genocide propaganda with a taste of Bonhoeffer.. the meat and potatoes of Bonhoeffer and his significance was watered down.
Overall, looking at it as propaganda, I liked it. I agree with the message.
This is the most effective trailer I've seen in a long time
YES! Another melodramatic biography! I can't get enough of these!
I read Eric Metaxas book about him a decade ago, and what struck me the most were two things: most Christians supported Hitler, Bonhoeffer believed actions against evil is just as important in faith as studying/preaching/pastoring. It's a curious time we are living in, and it's also very curious Eric himself became one of the biggest Trump supporter in the Christian world.
This is the type of courage we need NOW to defend our right to FREEDOM
yikes. settle down there bud
freedom to continue what European zionists started 100 years ago?
Yeah we don’t have a hitler in office, let’s not conflate the two.
@@FreelancerAlpha1-1 trump is the closest thing to Hitler in my lifetime. We need to vote to make sure he never gets elected again.
@@FreelancerAlpha1-1 Trump is more like Mussolini
I’m not a Christian but I love the studio and I love the films that they bring out. I’ll definitely be going to see this :)
Wow!!! Not familiar with the story but I'm excited to watch and learn more. I love a good spy movie, especially based on true events
Eberhard Bethge wrote a wonderful biography. He was Bonhoeffer’s assistant, and a good bit of the information is first hand, which is great.
The film is more half-baked reality, but I’m hopeful that it might be…entertaining.
@Lepoisson3665 - Thanks for the recommendation!
I was especially touched when Bonhoeffer says "Invasion? My country was invaded from within." The timing of the release of this film in the USA could not be better. We shall see who will be a hero and who will be a coward in the next few years. God bless the USA and all the world. Pray for us all.
The Democrats are the dictators. Please find better news sources.
Haven't seen a trailer drop this hard in a long long time
Seriously this is one of the best edited trailers I’ve seen
Thank you, Kampourises for making this important film!
Encountered Bonhoeffer during the two years I studied the holocaust and the Nazi era in German History at the university masters level. While i greatly appreciate Eric Metaxis, Bonhoeffer would have appalled to hear himself called a “martyr,” so you got that part right. Bonhoeffer did do some service as a pastor but was known and highly respected as a professor of ethics on both side of the Atlantic, which is why he was chosen to be the world spokesman for the Valkyrie group had they succeeded. Delighted you are telling his timely story!
Can’t wait to see this - more light from Angel studios!
Saw this last night! Very eye opening! Loved it, thank you!
Walter's Bible at 0:20. 😭
He used it for daily devotions for the rest of his life.
Beautiful movie!! Amazing! Through Christ all things are possible! For his is the glory. For ever and ever. Amen!
Holy cow!! Angel studios is putting out some really great stuff! I don’t know who’s behind it but bravo!
Bonhoeffer was not silent on societal and political evils that were against Christ and his Word. He was outspoken against the evil gaining power, even political power in Germany. Many modern reformed evangelicals today, especially those apart of the “gospel centered movement”, will watch and love this movie, not even realizing they are nothing like Bonhoeffer when it comes to his Christlike boldness.
I will GLADLY watch any film the Angel studios produce!
I saw this on a Short and as soon as I heard Davids voice I’m like Oh My God! YESS 🙌 to have this for This trailer soundtrack is just Perfect 🤌❤️
Good people are good, no matter where they are from. If you have Grace in you, you have Grace in you, period.
As a Lutheran I am so proud to have Luther and Bonhoeffer as true icons of men of God and courage
HAHHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHHAHAHAAAAHHAHAHA
Too bad the Lutheran church was complicit with the Nazi regime. It was a relatively small cadre of Lutherans known as the Confessing Church who stayed true to scripture and stood against authoritarian genocide. Bonhoeffer is the best known due to his writing while in prison.
Luther was actually an anti-semitic..Hitler was even inspired by Martin's book..The Jews and their Lies. Bonhoeffer was a courageous man of G-d & he was nothing like Luther. Many blessings✨
While Luther is in Heaven Bonhoeffer is not. May his anguish be eternal.
@@RealmWaffenok, lil adolf
This has to be the best trailer I’ve ever seen.
When I learn about the true history of WWII, movies like this remind me how good the JPower is at allowing movies to be promoted. JTube would never allow the real history to be told.
Angel Stuidos has been bought by the small hat people it’s no wonder this is coming out. On top of that the show Chosen now has a Jewish advisory board to make sure they don’t “misinform” anyone
@ Exactly. That’s why I refuse to watch Chosen.
As they said themselves: "My country has been invaded, from within"
Go see it! ❤ Absolutely excellent 👏
May our great Father in Heaven give His people now the grace and strength to stand in and for the Truth in this day we live in, as Bonhoeffer and many others have. We are seeing the same things that took place then happening right now. History sadly repeats itself.
Spectacular movie about a man of Great courage and moral clarity.
Love the song choice. This looks really well done Angel Studios!
I have dificulties with Music not present in the time period the movie takes place… in this case classical, church Music or jazz would be more fitting in my opinion
