Baader-Meinhof Complex Reaction


As far as movies go I have to say I’ve been pretty interested by Baader-Meinhoff Complex.  I’m usually not a big fan of older movies but I think it’s the content the movie focuses on that keeps it interesting throughout.  The movie definitely keeps the pace up the entire time and just when you think you have seen everything that it has to offer it escalates itself even higher.  As for the actual group and characters, well my feeling is there all pretty much mentally insane.  They are complete psychopaths, some of which got what was coming to them and others who maybe got off too easy by simply being put away in prison. I am not sure how the prison system works in Germany but it seems like some of the groups early crimes while awful hardly went punished.  When they were wanted criminals I believe they guy said he didn’t want to go back to prison because he had ten months left on his sentence.  They were blowing up buildings, how did they get such a small sentence?  That’s a pretty clear act of terror.  I definitely don’t sympathize with the group and they amount to nothing more than mass murderers.  They took countless innocent lives in the name of their cause but all they were doing was committing awful acts of terror.  What did they actually manage to accomplish besides becoming murderers and bank robbers?  In the end they definitely became worse than anything they could have possibly trying to stop.  They were the true terror.
