One of the best German films ever!!!, 2 April 2005
10/10
Author: Tasha-Yar from Germany

At first, I didn't want to watch this film because this topic hits me always very hard.

Now I'm glad I did!

After watching "Der Untergang" which did not impress me, "Sophie Scholl" makes me believing that the German film is not dead!

Acting is brilliant! Julia Jentsch is very convincing and transmits so much feeling to the audience! Incredible! BRAVO!!! The other actors are also excellent!

The film manages to show how the German people were afraid of the Nazi, and how the sick ideology of Hitler poisoned almost every mind.

But much more important is - and that really impressed me - that this movie evokes emotion. You feel with Sophie Scholl, you think about what you would have done in her place: "Would I be so strong like Sophie? Could I fight with my life for my ideals? Would I have the courage like this young woman?"

These are important questions, not only for us Germans, but for everyone! Would we stand up and say "This is wrong!", even when our life is at stake?

It's difficult to find the right words, but this film deeply touched me and made me thinking about myself. And this fact alone is truly remarkable. Watch this film!
