| 1 | * SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic: The beautiful [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XhI-Ah1qGko love theme]] composed by Music/MarvinHamlisch. |
| 2 | * CompleteMonster: The [[SmallRoleBigImpact nameless Nazi officer]], who encounters Sophie with her children while processing prisoners at the trains to the [[PoWCamp concentration camps]] to be sent for [[UsefulNotes/TheHolocaust liquidation or labor]]. Mocking Sophie in a perverse manner, he decides to force the [[SadisticChoice titular choice]] on her: which of her beloved children will remain with her and which will be gassed. When Sophie cannot choose, he [[WouldHurtAChild orders both children to be gassed]], only relenting for sheer amusement when Sophie chooses her daughter to die. |
| 3 | * HoYay: The love triangle between Nathan, Sophie, and Stingo is made more complicated by rather romantically charged scenes between Stingo and Nathan. Stingo talks at length about how he loves both of them and if one was to watch many of the scenes between the three of them out of context, one might easily believe they were in a polyamorous relationship. |
| 4 | * ItWasHisSled: Pretty much everybody knows what the famous choice is. |
| 5 | * SignatureScene: The titular choice is not only by far the most famous scene in the movie, but arguably the most iconic moment of Creator/MerylStreep's career. |
| 6 | * TheWoobie: Sophie and her two children. Sophie is forced by Nazi troops at random to make the sadistic choice as to which one of her children will live (or have both of them killed). Her daughter Eva is then taken straight to her death in the crematorium, and her son Jan is taken to a children's concentration camp, but never is shown to be reunited with his mother. |
