Julia Jentsch is the main reason for seeing this movie. After she admits to the charges, even Mohr seems to be amazed by her intelligence and resolve. In their exchange Sophie shows an amazing courage and never is seen as being scared of what will happen to her. The main part of the film involves the interrogation Robert Mohr subjects Sophie as soon as she is arrested. Sophie mentioned the unmentionable, the extermination of the Jews, and even the elimination of sick children by people gone mad. Sophie and her brother were instrumental for several pamphlets informing the population about things that the regime's propaganda didn't tell the German people. Sophie was part of the student's organization, White Rose, that wanted to inform the German people about facts that were never challenged by anyone because of the consequences such action would mean for whoever spoke the truth. Marc Rothemund, the director, working on Fred Beinersdorfer's screen play, presents us with a courageous figure, Sophie Scholl, who saw the atrocities the Third Reich was doing to her country and dared to speak about it when confronted by the regime. History proved her right as most of the same people that condemned her for treason were proved to be the real traitors. Sophie Scholl, at one point of her trial, tells the judge and his cronies, as well as the audience of cowards attending the proceedings, that soon they all will be seating in the place she is now occupying.
