As the world teeters on the brink of destruction, Dietrich Bonhoeffer joins a deadly plot to assassinate Hitler, risking his faith and destiny to save millions of Jews from genocide. Niemoeller actor August Diehl has previously portrayed an SS Gestapo officer in Dishonorable Bastards (2009) and a German citizen who resisted joining the German army in A Hidden Life (2019). Dietrich Bonhoeffer: We have no defense against stupidity. Neither protests nor force can touch it. Reasoning is useless. Facts contrary to personal prejudices may simply be disbelieved—indeed, a fool may counter them with criticism, and if they are not refuted, they may simply be dismissed as insignificant exceptions. Well shot and acted. But the film spent an inordinate amount of time on Bonhoeffer’s 1930s. for a trip to New York and his alleged fascination with gospel music and jazz. In fact, his later prison letters reveal the lasting influence of traditional Lutheran hymns and Paul Gerhardt’s hymns on his theology and piety. No mention was made of his engagement to Maria von Wedemeyer (eighteen years his junior), with whom he exchanged dozens of letters during his imprisonment (1943-1945), later published as Love Letters from Cell 92. #39; It was Maria’s grandmother who financed the seminary of the Church of the Confession in Finkenwald, where Bonhoeffer promoted a kind of « new monasticism ». for seminarians – with traditional chorales and the prescribed prayer of the psalms. A storyline involving Mary at the end of Bonhoeffer’s life would have raised some compelling questions, like why get engaged if your world is about to end? It’s all well and good that Bonhoeffer’s film has been made, bringing his story of struggle for truth to a wider audience.
