"The Baader Meinhof Complex," film Reaction


This film is inspirational, intense, and very sad to see what people had to endure during such difficult times in history. The quality of this film is very good; it captures the realism of the events that took place. While I was watching this film I could understand why the youth of Germany could get themselves involved with the RAF. Being educated can change a lot of things as well as knowing and understanding what is going on around you in the world. The Baader-Meinhof group decided to take action if they didn’t like something for example an institution they would make sure that the world knew how they felt and express their emotions in a very questionable way. Harmful bombings, robberies, and attacks were attached to the RAF. I can understand not liking the struggle that life puts you through sometimes but nether less such actions aren’t required to get attention. People can always find a way to get their point across it doesn’t have to be violence. For example think about Martin Luther King who made sure that everyone knew he stood against violence and made huge changes without it. The RAF got crazy they let their feelings take over their lives and starting with the bombings. Once they started to do all of these horrible things such as robbing banks, bombing buildings, and using guns doing bad things became very easy for the RAF members. Things just got way out of control very fast and the violence took over the group. When the time came for the group to commit suicide a lot of people just viewed the RAF as terrorists because of all the harm they caused to try to express what they wanted. They clearly did it the wrong way. I started to feel bad for the members of this group because I can understand they wanted people to have their views as well but they did too many horrible things to not have a bad ending.
