Post #45 was an e-mail I sent to 8mmMauser. He was kind enough to post it for me while I was temporarily indisposed. I'm honored that you found value in it. Please, share it.

Sophie Scholl: The Final Days is available on DVD. There's nothing quite like seeing it in the theater, surrounded by strangers who are as wrapped up in it as you are, and being surrounded by the movie as though you're actually a part of it. But the DVD has the advantage of extra scenes, footage from a couple of the trials, interviews with people connected to The White Rose, etc. It would still be a bargain at twice the price.

Would you please be good enough to share your experience, being part of a live audience watching Sophie Scholl in a regular theater? I took a stab at it above, from my wife's and my experience. We saw it in a Philadelphia cinema, on a free night on a business trip. At the time I didn't know the White Rose story, so it was "luck" that we chose this film among several that looked promising. Except I don't believe in that kind of luck! We watched engrossed... then just sat there stunned at the end. So did everyone in the audience. Nobody stood up. Nobody stirred at all -- not until the house lights went on.

But of course your experience would be far better told in your own words. I'd love to hear your impressions and feelings about the film. Perhaps rosalita and others would be interested too.
