watched Sophie Scholl on tues with my navy frens. it's about a group of students, called white rose, who printed anti-Nazi pamphlets and distributed them. Sophie and her brother was caught, and most of the show was about e interogation and a short trial. not much action, but the acting and dialogue were powerful and thought provoking.
there was this part during the interrogation where Sophie and her interrogator were involved in a debate. he asked rhetorically, without law, what would decide who is right, who is wrong. what would prevent the chaos and establish order. Sophie simply replied, ‘conscience’. a bit cliche... but yet v philosophically true.
however, sadly, the group of students were executed in the end. while sophie hoped that their deaths would inspire other rebellions or protests, nothing really happened.
oh. this picture of the white rose memorial in munich, which i took when i was backpacking. the guy was a guide bringing us on a tour about the third reich (ie hitler’s regime). he was an artist and gave q a few artistic impressions of the monuments and architecture in munich. about this memorial, he was rather disappointed. he said the rectangular/cubic design of the stone was representative of the nazi regime. and the words on the stone (if u look carefully, it’s a copy of an abstract from a leaflet) were “scratched”, and they didnt seem to leave any impression. the memorial did injustice to the sacrifices of the youths. hmmm... a deep interpretation.
nevertheless, the movie’s not bad. can catch if you’re at cineleisure and if you’re a sucker for such historical films.
