People who like it say that the movie is responsible enough to document that series of events, and people who don't appreciate it say that the plot is scattered and does not focus on narration. I used it as a popular science film for literacy, so it's good to know about it: after all, a 150-minute realistic film has to introduce many characters in one stroke, and it takes a little taste to cover the span of nearly 10 years. Compared with other films about major historical events, even the main characters in this film have not been thoroughly analyzed in detail, but it is this sense of distance that does not make it a drama.
I have only heard a few words about the student movement that swept the world in the 1960s and 1970s, and they were all mentioned when talking about the Cultural Revolution. In many Hollywood movies, I have seen the movement tone of American young people, basically always tragic and romantic themes are clear and clear. It is difficult to imagine what the student movement in continental Europe would look like. Therefore, in a German period drama where the props and scenery are guaranteed to be accurate, I experienced the zeitgeist trend that was dominated by the romantic student movement, and I was really moved.
Digression: Despite of all the criticism, the bottom line is they WERE cool and sexy, and that's how the younger generation saw them at that time. It's not the full picture if you're going to say it from a safety review or ethical prudence point of view It may indirectly lead to irrational people to similar extreme violence, if so, it is also a man-made disaster caused by incompetent education, and has nothing to do with the film. The progress and complexity of human society occur at the same time, and it is everyone's responsibility to constantly self-judgment and self-examine the situation that is less and less clear-cut.
