Last Sunday I discouraged our folks from watching the new movie (Bonhoeffer) which is allegedly based on Dietrich Bonhoeffer’s life and death. I also responded recently to a Facebook post praising the film.
There are a lot of inaccuracies in the movie, enough to really confuse the real Bonhoeffer from the movie version, in some ways you could consider dangerous. This article by Mac Loftin from The Christian Century, a real Bonhoeffer expert, explains far better than I could.
So if you go to the movie, enjoy, just don’t be fooled by its many inaccuracies of Bonhoeffer’s enormous moral struggle.
