In the final scene of The Brutalist, Zsófia talks more than she does in the whole rest of the movie. Since The Brutalist examines the immigrant experience in the aftermath of World War II, Zsófia takes a vow of silence because of the horrors she experienced during the Holocaust. The fact that Zsófia doesn’t speak for the majority of the film differentiates her from other characters in The Brutalist. Even though she doesn’t have many lines, since the film begins and ends with her, it is clear that Zsófia is a very important character in The Brutalist.
