Visually inspired by The Passion of Joan of Arc, the film takes a very real time feel approach to the persecution of Sophie Scholl, a member of The White Rose peaceful student resistance movement against the Nazis. Sophie Scholl: The Final Days casts the three martyred students in parallel to the Trinity, i.e. the role of Father, Son & Holy Spirit with the majority of focus on Scholl as the latter, particularly in one final scene as they share a very modern communion before they approach their execution. Scholl also acts as a type of Christ figure struggling for the soul of Germany during her repeat interrogations: asserting God’s law above man’s, asserting education over ignorance and proudly eschewing any passive gender roles and seizing the implicitly feminist role of conscious resister. A must see!
