Last night I watched Sophie Scholl. I first heard about this movie about 2 years ago but it only came out with a limited release. Since then I have been trying to get my hands on it to watch it because I have heard nothing but wonderful things about it. I was blown away by the movie. It is at the same time beautiful and tragic. I find myself inspired and emotional often in the same scene. This movie dramatically depicts the true story of a two Germans, a brother and sister, who oppose Hitler and his ideas. They are caught distributing a inflammatory flyer around their campus and are subsequently put on trial. The remaining 1 1/2 hours of filming after their arrest will put anyone in touch with their emotions and inspire one to the deep ideas that are central to human existence.
I strongly recommend this movie to all. I finally got it through Blockbuster online so you could probably do the same or through Netflix. I found it was very difficult to find in a video store.
Enjoy the movie and please let me know what you think.

Agree. Excellent movie. I watched it a while back after it played at the Santa Fe film festival when we still lived there.
