comment
As the Good Book Says...: Luther bases his arguments on references to the Bible. (In counter-arguments to things other people say, he also quotes a lot of other sources, emphasizing his role as a scholar.)

Mythology Gag: The scene with Luther defending a church may be a reference to a similar scene from the 1953 film Martin Luther.

comment
Historical Hero Upgrade: The movie avoids depicting Martin's real-life fondness for crude and scatological comments, the anti-Semitic writings he produced in the later part of his life, and his infamous claim that the authorities should "smite, stab, and strangle, as you would a mad dog" the peasants in the peasants' war. A few of his writings against rebels are mentioned, which he's shown to be more remorseful for after seeing the aftermath than he seems to have been historically.

Actionized Sequel
 Luther (2003) / int_4389e368
comment
Actionized Sequel: Well, actionized remake. As discussed here the film is more fast-paced and visually dynamic than previous films about Martin Luther, with scenes like an opening where Luther dodges lightning, other scenes where Martin is physically in danger, and boar-hunting.

Corrupt Church: The film's portrayal of the Catholic Church at this time, mainly through its use of indulgences.

Artistic License – History
 Luther (2003) / int_56515a39
comment
Artistic License – History: Quite a bit. For example, the Golden Rose is given to Frederick of Saxony to entice him to hand Luther over to Rome, whereas in reality the motives behind his receiving the Rose were not related to Luther.

Token Romance

comment
Token Romance: Martin's courtship of, and marriage to, Katherina von Bora comes very late in the film and has little effect on the main plot. (The film never explores the theological significance of a former monk getting married.)

comment
Performance Anxiety: The first time Martin says Mass in front of his monastic community and his father after being ordained he is positively shaking with anxiety and winds up spilling a small amount of the wine out the chalice as a result.

Fire and Brimstone Hell: Johann Tetzel is shown preaching dramatically about this subject, frightening crowds of ordinary people into buying indulgences.

comment
Badass Preacher: In the movie, there is a scene where Luther heroically stands with a flaming torch in his hand, literally defending the church from a horde of evil peasants, holding them back with his words. In history, he only published writings against peasant violence.
