YMMV / Sophie Scholl: The Final Days

• Stoic Woobie: Sophie and Hans. Remember that these calm, resolute, dignified dissidents are kids who are fully aware that they will most likely lose their lives.
• They Wasted a Perfectly Good Plot: The movie never shows just how grand the White Rose was in plans and membership, as in real life, they were reaching out to set up leaflet-distributing cells in other cities and had contact with larger Resistance groups who told them there was plot to kill Hitler underway. Mentioning all of this before Sophie and the others are arrested could have been used to reframe a lot of her scenes by showing that even as the Gestapo case against her was growing, she was still managing to avoid revealing a lot of important information to her interrogator.
