Sophie Schroll:Strong, emotional and gripping German Movie




saw this german movie Sophie Scholl: Die letzten Tage..OMG...its really good...its so exciting ...i was glued to my seats...the german actors and actresses was so vocal and emotional.simply outstanding...

the plot is also super good...it happened to be a true story...this movie plot is taken from interrogation transcripts taken by the german secret police Gestapo during world war 2. Basically sophie scholl and her brother members of the white rose (a passive resistance movement) is arrested by Gestapo for giving out leaflets in the university.

I was really attracted to the strength, bravery and diligence of sophie scholl..During the interrogation she is able to fool the Gestapo interrogator specialist. Only to confessed in the end cos evidence was found on her brother.She went on to lie to save the rest who are helping her in the movement. Even when she was going to be sentence in court she is still strong. She speak her mind about short comings on nazi ideology. She believe strongly in freedom and she is willingly to sacrifice her life for her belief.

My favourite scenes is in the court where a really fierce exchange of words between the brother and sister with the court offical. I also like the ending scene which was very nicely filmed...and of cos the music adds to the effect...

no question about the quality of this movie..it won the silver bear in 2005 berlin film fest
