no bottom line

Safety and non-violence should be the goodness of human nature, or the basic needs of human beings. The experiment host set safety and non-violence as the bottom line of the experiment. But this bottom line can actually be broken through during the experiment, and monitoring and authoritative interference are fake.
Once members of the role of prison guards discover the blind spot of surveillance, in order to seek authority and public approval, they will repeatedly break through this bottom line and use violence, which leads to intensified conflicts and finally forms dictatorship and oppression.
The bottom line does not actually exist. The rules are set by people and can also be broken by people. This is an interesting reflection on the relationship between state dictatorship and everyone. For example, the authority of our party is established, for example, people who are good are bullied by others.
Originally, the film could be digged further, but the ending was too fairy tale, and the oppressed and disadvantaged groups finally fought and won under the leadership of heroes.
Tragedy is often more thought-provoking.

    Nachrichtensprecher: [voiceover - spoiler] The tragic outcome: two dead, three injured, among them project leader Professor Klaus Thon. Clearly, the experiment went out of control after two days. The district attorney is investigating two possible manslaughter charges and several charges of abuse and negligence. One of the test participants has been arrested. The project direction will probably have to answer to a court. According to statements by one of the scientists, the escalation might have been prevented by aborting the experiment earlier.
