Good Foreign-language films, WWII
#31

Just finished watching a newly released (on DVD) film titled: "Sophie Scholl..The Final Days." It is a true story, based on the student underground organization known as The White Rose, which distributed anti-Nazi literature on the Munich Campus in 1943. I tell you, it left me with a large lump in my throat. I don't know if I would have had the courage of my convictions as these young people did...to speak out against the horrors and brutaliy of Hitler's regime and to pay the price for it. If you are like me, and have wondered why more Germans didn't speak out...this is a humbling movie to watch. I'll leave it at that. 

 

A bit under the weather today, but it gave me the chance to watch the movie. I loved it and watched the flip side too with the interviews. My opinion; this is a MUST see for ALL. I knew there was dissent in Germany, but did not realize the scope of it. As my husband said, what brave, brave souls. :unsure:

 

Lee was working in the store while I was watching it and he asked about the premise. Before I could finish he said, White Rose? Yeah I replied. Told him I didn't know much about it until tonight. I was very moved and saddened to. I am so proud though of Sophia, her brother and there friends. I really can't say enough.

 

Thank you for enlightening me. :pdt34:
