Sophie Scholl: The Final Days Reviews

Honestly, before watching this movie, I wasn't aware of this page of history so just only for this, it was really interesting to watch this movie. For once, you have here a WWII feature where Germans were not only nazis but also some heroic role models and I thought it was a rather refreshing approach. You may wonder if at this age you would have had the courage to take the same actions, probably not. Eventually, to enjoy this movie, it all depends if you like historical movies or not, I guess. Personally, I thought that it was a spellbinding drama with some sober but efficient directing and acting and they effectively avoided to make the whole thing overdramatic. To conclude, I thinkit it was a rather fascinating historical feature and definitely worth a look, especially if you like the genre.

One of the most famous members of German World War II's anti-Nazi resistance movement, The White Rose, is Sophie Scholl (Julia Jentsch). This is her story.
Sophie and her brother Hanz (Fabian Hinrichs) distribute leaflets in the university and get caught. Their fate is decided quickly.

I found all actors to be convincing, and their performances actually made me feel "there". Excellent cast. And the directing was superb.

I was just reading that the February 1943 weather report was dugged up, so that the filming of Sophie's last six days would be accurate. Brilliant idea.

The film shows Sophie Scholl as a person who loved life very much but was ready to die for what she had done. This was brilliantly portrayed by Jentsch.

I consider this a *must* if you're into World War II films, and I highly recommend watching it.
