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.
