georgan g @RT98616417 12/04/2022 The acting is so good in this film, that even if you never watch subtitles, I suggest you try this. The interrogation and trial are from actual records, not dialog written for a movie. Intense & inspiring! See more Wolfgang G @RT51462348 07/21/2022 Ein großes spiel, Marc Rothemund. Überzeugende Darsteller besonders Julia Jentsch die, die Sophie Scholl überzeugend spielt, und André Hennicke der den „Roland Freisler" darstellt. Der Film erzählt uns die Letzen Tage von Sophie Scholl. Das Drehbuch (Fred Breinersdorfer) basiert auf die Vernehmungsprotokolle und Zeugenaussagen der Angehörigen.

After watching this film, its hard to not have any thoughts or opinion about it.  'Sophie Scholl- The Final Days,' is mainly centered in the final six days of Sophie and Han Scholl and other members of the 'White Rose' - an anti-Nazi group- after being caught on a university's campus for the pamphlets that were discovered. II.) The film takes place on 1943 in Germany with its main characters as the Scholls (Sophie and Han) as well as Christoph, a close friend who was apart of the White Rose group. These individuals are played by Julia Jentsch, Fabian Hinrichs, and Florian Stetter, interrogator Robert Mohr, played by Alexander Held, can also be seen as a main character as the majority of the film is spent on the interrogation of these individuals. The story deals with the incident at the university where Sophie and those mentioned previously, were caught and later accused of high treason after the distribution of pamphlets that went against the Nazi party/Germany. Julia Jentsch, delivers a remarkable and riveting performance that perfectly embodies the quality and nature of Sophie Scholl. Jentsch and Alexander Held are nothing short of astonishing, as well as the cast, as they capitalize and add suspense throughout the film. III.) The film, while having a cast that each respectively, deliver great performances, has scenes that I found to be simply amazing. From the courtroom scene and the scene towards the end with Sophie and her parents, both are one of my favorites from the film as they're powerful pieces and lines that are delivered that stuck out from the entirety of the film.  What I also enjoyed, is the fact that some scenes take the transcripts from the actual interrogation, which I found to be chilling, yet adds more meaning and weight to those scenes. What I didn't like about the film was the how the title of it gives away the outcome and take some of the emotional impact or gravity from the ending. What I also didn't enjoy from the film was how the majority or a huge chunk of this film is spent on the interrogation and the final days, which came across as a bit lackluster, albeit the performances were engaging enough. With that being said,   what I learned from the film is that it doesn't take many to do the unthinkable as long as you have the courage and bravery to fight for what you believe in. Something audiences can take away from the film is the importance of standing up for your beliefs and the injustices around us regardless of the cost. See more Read all reviews
