DER BAADER MEINHOF KOMPLEX

I liked the film but as with pretty much everything we have watched or read in this class it was not a movie I would see in the theater because it sounds entertaining. I personally found it interesting how much they were going to go through for their ideals but at the same time thought it was fairly radical. I agree with their ideals, and I could see how it started, however it got more out of hand than I thought it would. It was interesting to see how the person I believe is the chairmen understood the need and ways to shut down the movement better than others. It is crazy that one can turn against what they believed in when they believe in something this radical. It's crazy that the woman decided to give up her kids in order to continue fighting most likely to her death. When looking at how they treated those supporting them its not very surprising that they could not keep the group together. I understand frustration with the system and how they were frustrated with being taught with non applicable training, but unless you were mentally unstable I don't think I would have challenged the man whom was training them. It seemed to me that some of the members more or less just wanted everything for nothing. And used blaming the economy for their lack of it. They stole and attacked people consistently, but when they  fought back they were appalled. In any conflict i strongly believe you have to look at the other side even, though it can be hard to do.
