One musical irony!!!


Martin Luther composed "Mighty Fortress is Our Lord" chorale and Johann Sebastian Bach used it in one of is cantatas. And the idiots of Warner Brothers used this great music in this movie as the musical theme. And guess what? Martin Luther and Johann Sebastian Bach were Germans!!
P.S.: I mean Martin Luther the German monk who challenged Catholic Rome, not Martin Luther King, Jr. of the 1960s Civil Rights movement.

Sounds like the musical choice was a conscious one.

Luther and Bach were Germans, not Nazis....though giving you props for noticing the fact of their origin.

At the time this movie was made, Norway had a strong Lutheran influence so the music made sense. As the above poster said, Martin Luther was German, not a Nazi.
