![]() Germany in the 1970s: Murderous bomb attacks, the threat of terrorism and the fear of the enemy inside are rocking the very foundations of the yet fragile German democracy. The radicalised children of the Nazi generation lead by Andreas Baader, Ulrike Meinhof and Gudrun Ensslin are fighting a violent war against what they perceive as the new face of fascism: American imperialism supported by the German establishment, many of whom have a Nazi past. Their aim is to create a more human society but by employing inhuman means they not only spread terror and bloodshed, they also lose their own humanity. The man who understands them is also their hunter: the head of the German police force Horst Herold. And while he succeeds in his relentless pursuit of the young terrorists, he knows he's only dealing with the tip of the iceberg. Trailer: http://www.moviemaze.de/media/trailer/3922,der-baader-meinhof-komplex.html Those actors really look really similar to the people they're portraying! I'm very much looking forward to this! I hope this starts a new Baader Meinhof discussion, there's still a lot that need to be told and discussed. In fact (I don't know if it's okay to say this) Ulrike Meinhof is an inspiration to me.

I saw this movie tonight and it was truly brilliant! I studied and read a lot about the Baader Meinhof group already which is useful because it's mostly about action and not too much about the background. The movie is 2,5 hours long but it wasn't bothering me at all, it could've been longer because there's so much to tell and it still wouldn't be too long. All the people in the audience we're impressed when it was over: highjackings, kidnaps, bomb attacks, shootings: it's all there. Fascinating period in modern history. Definitely the best film of 2008! Go see it if it's in a cinema near you!

You so should, it's totally worth your time/money. The great thing about the film is that, just like United 93, it doesn't judge and leaves the audience to decide and that is an impossible thing to do. I sympathize with Ulrike Meinhof a lot, less with Andreas Baader, and it's awful to see an intelligent young woman become so involved with violence to the point of no return when everything start to fall apart. I'm very curious what you'll think about it! |

I have a soft spot for resistance movements like these so I'll probably love it! I'll check out the cinemas right away... |
