Review of Sophie Scholl: The Final Days (2005) by Ellie T — 22 Oct 2006
Although this film is based on a true story which gives a certain edge, it depicts war time very well, of how hitler was so controlling yet could not overcome the power of the other countries fighting at that time.
Sophie scholl and her brother Hans wrote letters, protesting in a way for germany to give up and explaing all the bad things that have happened, for example she had training to be a nurse and so saw mentally ill children being put to death by gas.
The film is subtitled so that makes it harder to keep up but the plot is not as involved as you would think so realising what is gong on is simple. Sophie shares a cell with another prisoner; Else who was forced to work for the Prison, Sophie is summoned for questioning almost every day but in the end her brother confesses so the must also do so.
She her brother and another man are all executed at the end by a gullotine right at the very end it explains how in WW2 scandanavians sent all these letters to england who in turn let them all go over the town that they flew over.
