Quotes
Rather than historical realism, Baader provides quotation as a means to convey its portrait of the terrorists. Instead of naturalistic dialogue, the characters often intone excerpts from interviews, articles, speeches, prison notes, or other sources from the historical record. One example is a scene late in the film. Whiele shooting rounds, Meinhof turns and calmly says, „When the time is ripe for the revolution, it will be too late to prepare it.“
