Cast & crew
Bonhoeffer is a film that I found very powerful. I sometimes thought about how Bonhoeffer stood between his faith and the things he saw happening around him. What really struck me was how he didn’t just stick to his words, but faced a difficult decision when he saw so many people in danger. The film made me think a lot about faith, the difficult choices, and the price one can pay for standing up for what one believes. In the end, I was left thinking about the big question the film posed: what does one do when what one believes and what one feels one should do begin to clash?
I liked this one. It's about a pastor who stood up against Hitler, and the main actor was really good. It looks great too. But it felt more like an action movie than a true story, and I think they changed some facts. Still, I left feeling inspired.
I really enjoyed watching 'Bonhoeffer" it showed the courage and willingness of Dietrich Bonhoeffer to stand for what he believed was right, regardless the consequences. This movie is very powerful, emotional, and provokes thoughts and it also shows that doing the right thing is not always easy, sometimes it requires too much of real sacrifices. I would recommend it to anyone who enjoys historical stories movies.
