Not too heavy but cautionary

Just looking at the movie title "Sophie Scholl: The Final Days"(Die letzten Tage), you know that the heroine must die, and of course the story revolves around Sophie's last five days. A film based on a true story, which takes place in Germany Nazi era (1943), not too heavy but cautionary. After

watching the movie, what impressed me most was the background music and scene when the heroine and her brother were rushing to lay out flyers on the college campus at the beginning of the movie. It was tense The rhythm of Sophie, brother Hans, and friends played again at the end of the movie when they faced the trial and execution, which was very shocking. These two pieces of music played a pivotal role in the movie. Without its foil, the film's oppression It's hard to get the most out of it. The

director of the film is Marc Rothemund, whom I haven't seen before. Actress Julia Jentsch originally played "The Downfall" (Der Untergang, 2004), but was not impressed. The film won seventeen international awards , as follows:

Silver Bears Berlin 2005 for Best Leading Actress & Best Direction
3 German Film Awards 2005 for Best Film (Silver), Best Leading Actress (Julia Jentsch), Audience Award
Audience Award & Best Direction Brasilia 2005
Audience Award Hamptons 2005

Bavarian Film Award 2005 (Producers' Award)
German Film Critics Award 2005 (Best Actress)

also nominated for this year's Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film.

No attractive faces, There is no humor and lightness, the only terrible thing is the scene of the three people facing the execution. They cover their eyes. The movie uses a black screen to explain. Feeling. The whole movie is all about what happened in those five days (18-22 February 1943), interrogation, interrogation, psychological warfare, inner struggle. No tricks, no pretense, Nazi Germany on the trial court False cruelty is more real in plain sight.
