Dietrich Bonhoeffer: Memories And Perspectives (2003) | Full Movie | Oliver Osterberg

For those who want a close and intimate portrait of Bonhoeffer. This video follows the life of the martyred theologian as vividly recalled by those closest to him: his friends, family, and students. Included are Bonhoeffer family photographs that have never been shown before. An emotionally wrenching documentary that probes the struggles and motivations of Bonhoeffer in a way that makes one ask anew: "What does it mean to be a Christian in the 20th century world?" Black & White
Director: Bain Boehlke
Narration: Oliver Osterberg

This guy should be known and admired throughout the world. What a true Christian.

[@michaeltowslee4111]

Why limit him to a restrictive religious label. He gave his life for his friends. Jesus said that act made you the greatest amongst man. Bonhoeffer was a great man. No subsidiary label is needed.

[@warpig7493]

Some truly stood up, and went toward the danger to stop it! God Bless.

[@lc-mschristian5717]

Thank God for such men of God. Thanks for sharing. God's peace be with all.

THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH FOR A MUCH LOVED BROTHER WHO LIVED AND DIED BEFORE I WAS BORN IN THE USA. BUT I FEEL THAT HE IS INDEED MY BROTHER, JUST AS IF I GREW UP IN THE SAME HOUSEHOLD AS HE. HIS BIOGRAPHY AND LIFE ARE A GREAT INSPIRATION TO ME EVEN TO THIS DAY. THANK YOU FOR HIS MEMORIES AND PICTURES OUT OF GERMANY. THIS VIDEO IS LIFE CHANGING TO ME EVEN TODAY. GOD BLESS.

Make sure you really listen to his poem at 13 min. mark. It is astonishing. It will teach you more about him than any biography.

Who Am I? by Deitrich Bonhoeffer Who am I? They often tell me I stepped from my cells confinement Calmly, cheerfully, firmly, Like a Squire from his country house. Who am I? They often tell me I used to speak to my warders Freely and friendly and clearly, As thought it were mine to command. Who am I? They also tell me I bore the days of misfortune Equably, smilingly, proudly, like one accustomed to win. Am I then really that which other men tell of? Or am I only what I myself know of myself? Restless and longing and sick, like a bird in a cage, Struggling for breath, as though hands were compressing my throat, Yearning for colors, for flowers, for the voices of birds, Thirsting for words of kindness, for neighborliness, Tossing in expectations of great events, Powerlessly trembling for friends at an infinite distance, Weary and empty at praying, at thinking, at making, Faint, and ready to say farewell to it all. Who am I? This or the Other? Am I one person today and tomorrow another? Am I both at once? A hypocrite before others, And before myself a contemptible woebegone weakling? Or is something within me still like a beaten army Fleeing in disorder from victory already achieved? Who am I? They mock me, these lonely questions of mine. Whoever I am, Thou knowest, O God, I am thine!

[@johnsund3702]

Excellent documentary. This should encourage us to always do what is right even when it is not popular to do so. Bonhoeffer demonstrated what it truly means to follow Jesus Christ.

[@joshl1443]

Everyone should watch this!

[@cathyprosser1050]

Much love, respect and admiration for this incredible man of GOD, whose faith never wavered regardless of his circumstances. His life is still touching other hearts and lives many years later, my own included. It will be a great honor to meet him in Heaven.

[@michaeltowslee4111]

Bonhoeffer was a human being in the best sense before he was anything else.

[@dilly1863]

Beautiful!

[@raebrown2805]

Absolutely amazing story

[@markfacknitz2775]

Actually produced in 1984. This is a solid old style documentary with the virtue of having many firsthand reminiscences.

[@myronbriggs1018]

I watched. This man is what it means to be exceptional. There r not many Americans like this man especially among those who obsess with being patriots, which they r anything but.

[@gigiis526]

Yes, he was exceptional. Why couldnt you keep your comment solely on the documentary? You must not be an American because your obvious bitterness shines brightly. You have conveniently forgotten about all those who have served to keep this country free. How is it you are the judge and jury who qualifies in being a true patriot? I pity you. With a name like myron; you must be a bitter old man who lacks love in your heart.

[@MizzAugust7]

He was German & raised in a different time in history, when fear was used as a weapon, & death was a reality for anyone. America is a very young country.

[@johncronin4039]

USA does have its exceptional "true Christian people". M Luther King Jr was one such true Christian person who championed the outcasts. Most USA charismatic evangelicals are like the captive preachers who look to hypocrites like Trump or Biden or Jimmy Swaggart.

[@raquelferrer1799]

So many heroes…so many deaths…so to be loved by God

[@DJS11811]

I's great how you have the shot of New York with the World Trade Center.

[@DerekPK]

Seems like they mixed up the year with the other one it’s actually 1984.

[@honigschnee]

Movie is from 1982, not 2003.

[@DerekPK]

Says 1984 on IMDb.

[@clesheanj]

why is 7.20 grave stone in English? doesn't seem right.

[@rosemynnepatris7565]

🙂

[@janehoward1584]

The story of Bonhoeffer's family & their commitment to serving the News should be required reading/study by all true Christians. Where are the biblical leaders today in 2021 who are willing to serve the people & our Lord by laying down their careers & life to save the most vulnerable? Perhaps God has removed the genuine pastors & theologians because we Americans have no time nor interest in the Truth.

[@ChaplainDeanna]

The women pastors and theologians were silenced. Satan laughed. The women still. Look for the footsteps of Jesus and follow Him in feeding the hungry, clothing the naked, visiting orphans and widows and proclaiming the gospel. Unlike the men, they do not set up denominations where they take money and demand submission from others.

[@scotthood4789]

Not far from it now

[@sherrystacyrn589]

We have entered that time again.

[@jewelaultmanlee3332]

So important for today's global children to know & comprehend. Some, like today's Republicans, will learn to emulate the Persecutors. But others will see the the tragedy that we too are facing and must stand strong against homegrown radical terrorists.

[@Quaker-tc8ue]

Sadly, there will always be MAGAts, (as opposed to ‘rino,’ who think for themselves) who allow ‘the party’ to dictate their thoughts, words, deeds.

[@honnorjustice]

Jesus said, “I came not to bring peace but a sword.” The sword is the truth and truth cannot be sacrificed for peace otherwise it is not the gospel of Christ.
