Based on the true story of Sophie and Hans Scholl members of the White Rose Student Resistance Group against the Nazi ideology and government along with others. This movie was based on the latest documents and interviews of the people who were there and or involved. They were arrested on February 18, 1943 and their show trial was on February 22, 1943… and Sophie was executed first on February 22, 1943 at 5 pm by guillotine and the others followed. Sophie and her brother stood by their beliefs til the very end… This can be a tough movie to watch but it is a needed one for it will allow conversations and discussions to happen.

An excellent biopic about Sophie Scholl, a girl who was hanged together with namely her brother by the Nazis in WW2 for the “crime” of distributing anti-nazi pamphlets. She was offered the possibility to betray her brother and other people that she worked with, but she didn’t and faced her fate with was unusually cruel even for the time.

True story based on Sophie Scholl, who was an anti-Nazi activist and part of the White Rose movement in 1940s Germany. It's a film about principles and bravery with really fine performances all round. The budget shows at times, with some of it feeling like a TV-Movie (the music is quite heavy handed in the first half). However, the content is so powerful it doesn't really matter.

The original title of the film is Sophie Scholl - Die letzten Tage.

Just Wow. My kind of genre and even subject matter, but upto now I simply struggle watching a 2 hour movie needing subtitles. Maybe that''s why this film passed me by for all these years. Brilliant acting throughout. Sentiment without the slush. My first ever true 10/10 movie. It''s just such a shame that so many will never see this film because of the German soundtrack.
