"Bader and Meinhof": a doomed struggle

In Germany in the 1960s and 1970s, the Berlin Wall was erected, the concept of Western-style democracy flourished, anti-imperialistism, women's liberation movements, racial discrimination and various rebel movements were rampant, and the long-simmering incentive contradictions were about to explode. An inconsequential visit by the Shah of Iran left a protester killed instantly after being shot in the head by police officers. Since then, all kinds of violent terrorist activities have roamed the streets, and the student movement headed by Bader and Meinhof was instantly overwhelming. With the purpose of opposing the Vietnam War, he created various terrorist activities, set fires in department stores, robbed banks of huge sums of money, and assassinated political figures. Despite 28 years of desperate struggle, numerous kidnappings, explosions, and plane hijacking incidents, it ended in a tragic, unorganized and undisciplined way. That's it for the icy sports.

The film is adapted from the best-selling book of Stefan Oster, editor-in-chief of German news weekly Der Spiegel, in the 1980s. The collection of many German power stars is too numerous to count, Moritz Bredo in "Lola Run", Martina Godette in "The Wiretap", and Jona Vocalek in "The Pope" , Alexandra Maria Rana in The Reader. Under the processing of Uli Ed, the director of epic films, interspersed with various international documentary events and flashes, the whole film is full of dynamic tension and solemnity, which attracts the audience's concentration with great tension.

Although this is another German film in a foreign language that has the strength to compete for the Oscar after "The Wiretap Storm", it was finally not praised by the American judges because of its unobstructed criticism of the anti-human American war of aggression against Vietnam. , which made the uncontroversial Japanese film "The Undertaker" win the top spot. But this is still a shocking sports event. It is a pity that when these extreme young people first received formal training in Palestine, they were arrogantly disobedient and gathered on the roof naked to bask in the sun, they were already doomed. tragic ending. Even a diligent god-level figure like Che Guevara could not escape the pursuit of fate, not to mention the terrifying consequences that these furry children who do not understand the cruelty of the world can set off. From a just and lingering political struggle, it evolved to a terrorist attack that would do whatever one wants, from passion to fire, just as the British "The Times" commented, "Under their disguise, they are actually another naked Hitler." No matter how greedy it is, or protest without rules and regulations, it will inevitably lead to the fate of destruction.
