sergelamarche And this is what I like. We can read about it later if we want more details. The reconstitution here is just plain great. Great fights, great bombings, great shootings, better than americans. The acting is excellent. We are plunged into a dark past for two hours. And the germans make the best terrorists.

Anssi Vartiainen Based on true events, this film follows the history of RAF, Rote Armee Fraktion, a far-left West German activist group. The movie follows the birth of the movement and the fates of its founding members: Andreas Baader, Ulrike Meinhof and their associates.What this movie does very well is its ability to work as a spark. I can freely admit that I don't know enough about West Germany in the 60s and 70s to form an opinion about the events showcased in the movie. But I'm interested in finding out. The film is a long one, two and half hours, but it doesn't feel like that at all, thanks to excellent writing and a captivating subject matter.The actors are also top notch and their characters are written well. The film doesn't really take any sides. It focuses mostly on the RAF characters, which is something of a statement, but those characters also condemn many of the more outlandish RAF terrorist strikes as too brutal or as having too many civilian casualties. Again something of a statement.The film is highly recommended for all fans of history. It seems to take for granted that you already know something about the events portrayed, but I can safely say that it can be watched and enjoyed even with only the barest minimum of knowledge.

Sindre Kaspersen German screenwriter, producer and director Uli Edel's fifth feature film which he co-wrote with German filmmaker Bern Eichinger, is an adaptation of a book from 1985 by German Journalist Stefan Aust. It premiered in Germany, was shot on locations in Germany, Italy and Morocco and is a Germany-France-Czech Republic co-production which was produced by producer Bernd Eichinger. It tells the story about three children of the Second World War who following the attempted murder of a German student named Rudi Dutschke, the killing of a German student named Benno Ohrnesorg, the execution of Argentine physician and author Che Guevara, the assassination of American pastor and activist Martin Luther King and American attorney and politician Robert F. Kennedy, the escalation of U.S. bombings in Vietnam, the German student movement, the Paris student riots, the Northern Ireland civil rights movements' first civil rights march and the same year as Australian author Germaine Greer published a book about second-wave feminism, founded an organization. Distinctly and precisely directed by German filmmaker Uli Edel, this finely paced and somewhat fictional tale which is narrated from multiple viewpoints, draws an informative and involving portrayal of a German daughter, mother, sister and author named Ulrike Meinhof, a German daughter, mother, sister and trained elementary school teacher named Gudrun Ensslin and a German son, brother and father named Andreas Baader who met each other in the late 1960s, and who due to their common political views regarding imperialism, neo-fascism and authoritarianism started the first generation of the Baader-Meinhof group. While notable for its versatile milieu depictions, reverent cinematography by cinematographer Rainer Klausmann, production design by production designer Bernd Lepel and costume design by costume designer Birgit Missal, this character-driven and narrative-driven story about the history of terrorism in Germany and dehumanization as a result of ideological extremism which recreates a period in time with counterculture and cold-war when the former leader of the Social Democratic Party of Germany named Willy Brandt (1913-1992) was president of the Federal Republic of Germany, the eugenistic legislation in Sweden regarding compulsory sterilization was formally abolished and French actress Isabelle Carré was born, depicts some abridged studies of character and contains a timely score by composers Peter Hinderthür and Florian Tessloff. This reflectively conversational, historic and cinematographic reconstruction of real events from the late 2000s which is set mostly in postwar Germany in the late 1960s and 1970s when German students who due to being German citizens were being blamed for the crimes committed by their parents' generation protested against a new emergency legislature in the former capital of West Germany called Bonn and Palestinian leader of the Fatah party Yasser Arafat was elected as chairman of the Palestine Liberation Organization, which chronicles the militant activities of the Red Army Faction and where collectivism surpasses individualism and turns into unjustifiable left-wing extremism whilst ones humanity is abandoned for a perceived greater cause, is impelled and reinforced by its cogent narrative structure, subtle character development, rhythmic continuity, abrupt film editing, multiple perspectives, use of archival footage and reverently credible acting performances by German actor Moritz Bleibtreu and German actresses Martina Gedeck and Johanna Wokalek. A densely political, virtuously demystifying and atmospheric narrative feature.

Syl I easily believe that this film was the most expensive to make judging by the extravagant explosions and violent scenes. The acting, writing, and directing was all worth it. This is one of the best films in years about actual history of a the Red Army Faction better known as the RAF. It all starts innocently with the American country song during Ulrike Meinhorf's vacation with her daughters and husband on a beach somewhere. Is it Germany? I don't remember but I was troubled by the girls who played her daughters who were exposed up front. The film begins with Ulrike's involvement as a left wing journalist and slowly escalates. We realize that her marriage was falling apart. She leaves her husband and takes their daughters. She gets involved with the RAF at first by writing for them but it escalates further. Ulrike's life takes a disturbing turn in order for her to make a better world. The RAF means well but their actions are too violent, illogical, and wrongfully aimed at eve innocent people. This film is well worth watching even if you don't know German. I don't know it myself but it's a powerful tour De force and gripping film to watch at least once in order to understand human history. The actors do a fantastic job in their performances especially the leads and the director did a fantastic job in displaying the history as well. You can't believe it actually happened but it did.
