Baader-Meinhof Complex

After watching the movie in class, My reaction i think will be almost the same as the rest of the students in class. In the movie I was shocked by the way the extremists were treated, they had the protesters and the Police both teaming up on them. I never thought that Police corruption could be that bad, i mean the police are supposed to be keeping the peace not encouraging it. The extremists were treated very unfairly and no one cared what they had to say. As the movie continued i seemed to not feel as bad for the extremists as i did in the beginning because they seemed to strengthen themselves and get back up from what they had received. They strengthened themselves with great planning and organization along with allot of understanding for each other. When the movie started to get to the end the extremists started to lose control, break down and separate from each other, they were either killed in attempt to run or escape, or they were captured and sent to prison. It was interesting to watch the relapse that the German government had to go from falling apart due to the extremists, to rebuilding and overcoming the extremists. I think the extremists in the end of the movie deserved everything that they received i mean not so much the killings but the prison sentences. All in all the movie was good but i don't know if i would choose to watch it on a daily basis but it definitely fit well into the criteria that we were covering. The movie shows a good example of the uprising in Germany, and just because of everything that has happened so far, I am eager to watch the ending.
