Badaar Meinhoff Complex reaction
At first I didn’t think I would like the movie at all. It seemed like a bunch of young drug abusers. But after watching it for a while I thought the movie was very engaging and had my full attention. I thought that the movie was very informative to that extremist group. In the beginning of the movie, I sided with the group’s cause, due to the mistreatment of the people. The violence that was done to the protestors sparked this group into overdrive. It gave them all the reason they needed to fight back with violence. The group then formed into a terrorist cell and went to a camp to receive training in their new means to fight back, which became terrorism, which is kind of illegal. They were highly organized when they started striking their targets at first. As police efforts to capture and put down this group, their forces began to spread out and thin down. This means they wouldn’t be able to strategize to their full extent. The newly tightened grip the police had on the group made them more violent, in most cases they fought until they were dead or severely wounded. As the police action escalated so did the violent tendency of this group escalated as well. My opinion of this group then changed from being a backer to someone who thought they were too extreme and too violent of a group to support what they were doing. I think they for the most part lost sight of their goals and ideals that were the bases of groups beginning. As the movie progressed, I saw that they lost some of their supporters and each act they did, they thought they needed to respond with a higher act of violence. This is similar to U.S. media with the wars and terrorism as time progressed. I enjoyed the movie immensely.
