Plot summary

When German police viciously quell a protest against the shah of Iran, popular journalist Ulrike Meinhof rebels against her dishonest marriage, walks away from her children and joins radical anarchist Andreas Baader. Together with Baader's girlfriend, Gudrun Ensslin, they form the violent Red Faction Army, and together perpetrate a slew of terrorist attacks as a way of disrupting the fabric of what they see as an increasingly fascist state.

The name of the movie bought back vague

The name of the movie bought back vague recollections of reading about them at times in newspapers here during childhood so decided to watch this as it had good reviews. Yes the movie is certainly worth a watch as it shows the futility of armed rebellion as an idea to influence people for too long & how violence cannot be controlled beyond a point without affecting all cross sections of a society . It shows the inner circle / founders of this RAF and their ideas & at times unplanned but brutal actions, their gradual internal decline & their long incarceration. Great acting , direction , action , cinematography make it worth a watch. And a special mention of the late Swiss actor Bruno Ganz who plays the chief of police in charge of hunting down the RAF members , if you haven't watched the German movie The Downfall (English Translated name) in which he plays Adolf Hitler in his last days you really have missed in my opinion what great acting is all about .

Der Baader Meinhof Komplex schildert Vorgeschichte und Aktionen

Der Baader Meinhof Komplex schildert Vorgeschichte und Aktionen der linksextremistischen Terrorgruppe Rote-Armee-Fraktion (RAF) von 1967 bis 1977. Regie führte Uli Edel und Bernd Eichinger verfasste das Drehbuch, der Film folgt dem gleichnamigen Buch von Stefan Aust. Die Geschichte wird recht kompakt erzählt, und will der Realität recht nahekommen, deshalb verzichtet das Drehbuch auf einen durchgehenden Handlungsbogen… . Die schauspielerische Leistung der Darsteller ist beachtlich, der Baader Meinhof Komplex ist ein sehenswerter Film.
