1. The first generation of the Baader-Meinhof group was more organized and thorough with their planning, strategies, and tactics. They had different plans and strategies to follow when it came to the assassinations of government officials, bombing of buildings, kidnapping, or robberies. The first generation wanted to avoid as little harm to the general public as possible. Andreas Baader was the first leader of the Baader-Meinhof group. This is where they first organized the group with more peaceful strategies like, protests, articles, and staged demonstrations. When the second and third generations of the Baader-Meinhof came to be, their planning, strategies, and tactics changed so much from the first's. These generation's attacks were less sought out and more brutal in nature.
2. The way that I felt about the Baader-Meinhof group changed drastically from the beginning to the end of the movie. In the beginning, I thought the group's efforts and ideas were all easy to associate with and understand. As the movie continued though, my feelings shifted because of all the violence the group was resorting to. I felt the group was losing control and beginning to sink with all of their plans. At the end, there was way too much violence. This lead me to view the group as only a bunch of terrorists.
3. Andreas Baader was such a powerful member of the group. This leads me to believe that through his determination and rudeness, it made him the group leader. If Andreas Baader would have been shy and polite, he would not have gotten his status and respect compared to his original superior ways. Through his rudeness, determination, and strong leadership qualities, it provided an excellent base for persuading the group members for doing things in his favor.
