How much sense is it to fight war with war, or violence against violence? But then again, what other means did the RAF have to standup against their state government? I recall thinking during the moving that I really don’t like this, and if I was at home watching this movie, I would have turned it off. However, there is one reason I would stay and watch the movie, and that is that it’s a true story. I enjoy learning about history in the 20th century because it explains to me why we are in the place we are today. The RAF made the government in Germany stand up and take notice. There were times during the movie, though, that it seemed the government wasn’t taking the group as serious as they should , or they believed the groups actions had subsided. I strongly believe there should be opposition represented in government because no two people think alike.
The movie also made me think about how important it is to
stand up for something believed. I don’t
see myself of someone that would have taken the side of the RAF, mostly because
I don’t support violence and fighting, and am not an extremist by any means. But I also understand someone has to make a
stand and not just sit back and be silent.
The RAF was for a good cause and it is very unfortunate that innocent
people were killed.
I walk away from the movie thinking that it’s sad to know
all the war and fighting that has taken place and still takes place today. I truly believe we (the human race) will
terminate ourselves through war. Not in
my generation, but in the distant future.
