The two influential German Red Corps RAF leaders, who are considered terrorists, are more like politicians and thinkers. In the 1960s and 1970s, the similar communist ideology of West Germany was reflected in social riots, revolutionary assassinations, etc. They worshipped Mao Zedong and Che Guevara, citing scriptures, opposed the US imperialist invasion of Vietnam, etc. The government was helpless but still tough. Events such as the Munich Massacre and the Lufthansa hijacking are vividly remembered. A two-and-a-half-hour movie, will they feel like we are now?

The Baader Meinhof Complex quotes
-
Gudrun Ensslin: If the enemy fights you, that is good. For it is proof that between us and the enemy a clear dividing line exists. If the enemy confronts us forcefully, and paints us in the blackest of colors, then even better. It shows that we have not only drawn a line between us and the enemy, but also that our work has led to magnificent success.

Ulrike Meinhof: If you throw one stone, it's a punishable offence. If 1,000 stones are thrown, it's political action. If you set a car on fire, it's a punishable offence. If hundreds of cars are set on fire, it's political action. Protest is when I say I don't agree with something. Resistance is when I ensure that things which I disagree no longer take place.
