This is the best, most thoughtful review I've seen. My biggest problem with the film is something that his family also found objectionable: he's presented as being converted from his pacifism to the idea that assassinating people is justified. There are even lines in the film in which he says as much. But Bonhoeffer thought that being involved in the plot to kill Hitler was something he needed to do, but also something he needed to be forgiven for. He didn't see it as a righteous act, however necessary it might have been. Bonhoeffer was all about the cross, suffering for the kingdom's sake, and being a conqueror precisely by being a victim, just like Jesus. People need to know about Bonhoeffer. And the best thing about this film is that it tells his story.

Thank you so much for the compliment and I must return it as well! 😄 I loved reading this comment! You so graciously and thoughtfully summed up one of the biggest contentions between people regarding this film. I'm satisfied in knowing that art is subjective so I can hear the film's message but be cautious about the version of Bonhoeffer they present. However, your final statement wins the day for me: "this film tells his story". My hope is that this film sparks a desire to find out more about Bonhoeffer, what he really believed, what motivated him, his family, his experiences, etc. There is so much to learn from history, it helps us build knowledge and in turn, wisdom for our present and future. Thanks so much for your comment, Robert! 😃

I got to see it yesterday, Friday. Regarding the color, if you didn't know before that it was WWII, the blue grey tone would tell you. It's the official pallette of WWII. As for him standing out, I felt it was the director making him stand out like a painter would make the focus of the painting glow. Also it seems to show he is in God's light and shining from that. Regarding the time jumps, if I didn't know the broad outline of his life, it could have been a little confusing, I agree. I also felt it was reminiscent of the main character of Slaughterhouse Five by Kurt Vonnegut. He witnessed the firebombing of Dresden. At that point he became "unstuck in time" so his life was no longer linear. Past, present and future we're all jumbled. IDK if that's where the director was going but I wondered. I had never heard of Angel studios before, but from their preview for Homestead, another movie trailer and they also made Sound of Freedom, I was worried this would be another militant, white, Christian paranoia fantasy movie. I was glad to see it was very grounded in reality. It also focused on the danger of religion falling away from God and following a man or men. It was definitely against the concept of Christian Nationalism. I highly recommend the film to others. What I'm still trying to figure out is how to actively speak out for the voiceless. It also makes one wonder if one will have the courage when it's most needed. Remember, you can't be a martyr and live a long happy life. It takes courage to know what you're signing up for and do it anyway. I'm starting to ramble. A+ movie and review. Thanks for sharing your insights.
