The Baader Meinhof Complex (German: Der Baader Meinhof Komplex) is a 2008 German film by Uli Edel. The film is based on the 1985 German best selling non-fiction book of the same name by Stefan Aust.The film depicts the story of the West German far-left extremist group known as the Red Army Faction (German: Rote Armee Fraktion, or RAF), led by Ulrike Meinhof (Martina Gedeck), Andreas Baader (Moritz Bleibtreu) and Gudrun Ensslin (Johanna Wokalek) as they went from radicalized idealists to terrorists committing increasingly senseless and brutal acts of violence in The '70s with the Cold War as distant backdrop. It also depicts the methodical manhunt by the West German police to stop them, led by Horst Herold (Bruno Ganz).The film was an Academy Award and Golden Globe nominee for Best Foreign Language Picture, but lost to the Japanese film Departures and the Israeli film Waltz with Bashir respectively. | |

Real Footage Re-creation: The film utilises this trope repeatedly, recreating well-known footage of the 2nd of June Berlin riots of 1967 (including, photos taken of student Benno Ohnesorg moments before and after he was fatally shot by policeman Karl-Heinz Curras), as well as photos taken during the 1972 arrest of Andreas Baader, Jan-Carl Raspe and Holger Meins. It also recreates events like the attempted murder of Rudi Dutschke and the abduction of Hanns-Martin Schleyer based on crime scene photography. | |

The Baader Meinhof Complex / int_38ac6c7d | comment |
Former Regime Personnel: One of the catalysts for the RAF's actions, and also a major reason they had popular support, was the widespread belief that the denazification process in Germany after WW2 was ineffective. Many actual and suspected Nazi party members were indeed still in high positions of government, administration and industry. | |

Taking the Kids: Meinhof does this to her husband, after she catches him cheating on her. In turn it happens to Meinhof herself, when her estranged husband, with the help of Peter Homann and Stefan Aust (the author of The Baader Meinhof Complex), took his daughters back from Sicily to prevent Ulrike from sending them to an orphan camp in Jordan. | |

Nazi Grandpa | |
The Baader Meinhof Complex / int_66c2ca76 | comment |
Nazi Grandpa: One of the central elements of the RAF's beliefs is that the older generation (that of their parents, mostly) let Nazism happen and even took part to it (especially about state servants that were needed to rebuild the country's administration after 1945) and got no comeuppance for it, hence their use of fascism-related words to describe both that generation and the West German form of government and justice. | |

Driven to Suicide After being ostracized by her fellow RAF members, Meinhof becomes depressed and hangs herself in her cell. After authorities thwarted the hijacking of Lufthansa Flight 181, which the PFLP took over in hopes of releasing the imprisoned RAF members, Baader, Ensslin and Jan-Carl Raspe killed themselves with smuggled guns. Irmgard Möller tried to, but survived. | |

Avenging the Villain After Petra Schelm's death, the RAF move from committing bank robberies and start bombing corporate targets and U.S. military installments.

The Baader Meinhof Complex / int_b0c4bf9b | comment |
Luxury Prison Suite: Public protests force the government to move the prisoners out of solitary confinement, giving them larger cells with books and television, in their own cell block. However this trope zig-zags according to the political climate — when the Lufthansa hijacking occurs, all televisions are confiscated, the prisoners are locked in their cells and wooden panels placed over the doors to prevent them communicating (they use radios smuggled into the cells to do so anyway). | |

The Baader Meinhof Complex / int_cfbd1467 | comment |
Never Suicide: In-Universe where the RAF regard any death of their members as a Government Conspiracy, whether in a gunfight with police or a death-in-custody through suicide or hunger strike. Holger Meins is implied to have died through deliberate negligence (by failing to arrange a doctor), though the movie leaves it ambiguous whether the others on 'Death Night' died of Suicide Pact or conspiracy. | |

Curb-Stomp Battle | |
The Baader Meinhof Complex / int_d9ffec82 | comment |
Curbstomp Battle: The RAF against Hanns-Martin Schleyer's bodyguards. In the previous scene, the RAF even discuss how the bodyguards are highly trained and battle-hardened. The RAF kill all four of Schleyer's bodyguards before they can even fire back and successfully kidnap Schleyer. | |

Reasonable Authority Figure: Horst Herold. He's tireless in pursuing the RAF, but also presses his superiors to gain a better understanding of the terrorists and their public appeal. | |

Dirty Cop | |
The Baader Meinhof Complex / int_eb251937 | comment |
Dirty Cop: One of them fatally shoots a left-wing student activist at the beginning of the move. This leads to the radicalization of the political left in West Germany, and is one of the triggers for the RAF's decision to turn to terrorism. | |

Distracted by the Sexy: While training in Jordan, the RAF's ladies have a sunbath topless on a roof, which catches the eyes of the local warriors and infuriates their warlords even more against the RAF in addition to Baader's Not What I Signed Up For rants. | |

Well-Intentioned Extremist | |
The Baader Meinhof Complex / int_fd4f8299 | comment |
Well-Intentioned Extremist: As portrayed in the film, the founders of RAF (especially Meinhof) genuinely believed that they lived in a fascist state and that their actions would help liberate the oppressed peoples of the world. The film also portrays a good portion of the German people as sympathetic to the RAF's cause and open to sheltering members, until the effects of too much bloodsheds start turning opinions against them. | |

Shown Their Work: The film is widely praised amongst historians for, by and large, sticking to the historical accounts and sources surrounding the RAF and their deeds. However some have noted that it's Politically Correct History, especially the details surrounding Stammhein prison. | |
