Great

Rating: 9/10 (15 April 2005)

This is very beautiful movie, especially if you had the chance to see the movie/interview with Traudl Junge and also had a chance to familiarize yourself with the story of Sophie Scholl, her brother and a group of young Germans executed in 1942, the year the film begins. The White Rose is a movie about them. The downfall is captivating, showing how human beings can become so entangled in ideology that will make them do things you would never think of doing in your right mind. But how horrible it must have been for Bruno Ganz to decide to play Hitler! Yes, the National-socialists are all human beings, showing them as alien monsters does not help understanding how WWII and the concentration camps came about...
