Excellent movie

"Die Weisse Rose"(The White Rose)is a movie about resistance against Hitler and The Nazi-pary("NSDAP")INSIDE Nazi-Germany. It is hard for many people(especially Americans)to believe that not all Germans were Nazis and followed Hitler. The movie is about a resistance group called "The White Rose" at the university in Munich("München" in German), and it also describes how many people didn`t now about what happened at the front, with Russian prisoners-of-war and the jews. Hans and Sophie were brave people who stood up against the Nazi-tyrrany, and the actors in those roles did a very good job. 9/10
