Review of Sophie Scholl: The Final Days (2005) by Octavian — 31 May 2014
The film describes the last six days of the primary members of a resistance group called the White Rose, an organization of students, active mainly around Munich, during the years 1942-1943. Sophie Scholl seems to be more like a documentary movie than a Drama, which makes it even more "shocking".
This is for sure no light entertainment, and those, that don't like long conversations or even are not interested in history, should not watch this movie. This is the main reason, why Sophie Scholl won't make the transatlantic heap, because it's too "special".
It's a part of German history and requires a willingness to cope with it.
