Germans give people the impression that they are polite, rigorous, meticulous, cultivated, and love to read books. They have produced many thinkers and artists. However, they were all invaders in the Second World War, especially the Second World War. The persecution of Jews was more Our Nanjing Massacre, Unit 731, I don’t know how many times more cruel, the same person, and a relatively high-quality person, how could he turn into a brutal, violent, inhumane executioner or helper? Why did this happen? The contrast, the stark contrast, is like two people before and after. The movies "Death Experiment" and "The Tide" are all to experiment with this kind of transformation. All changed by real events. In the death experiment, people who volunteered to participate in the experiment were divided into two groups. One group pretended to be a prison guard and the other group pretended to be a prisoner. Although the experiment also has rules, one of which is not to hit people. Due to the difference in the division of labor, in order to manage the "prisoners" well, the "prison guards" used all kinds of cruel means to make the "prisoners" obey. , At the end, when everyone went back in the same car, they returned to normal people again. From their eyes, they could see that they were all surprised, puzzled and inconceivable about what happened in front of them.
This is a bit like the anti-corruption mentality of our masses. It is not a real aversion to corruption. In fact, the heart is envious and want to have the opportunity to corrupt. Violent and dominating evil beasts are hidden in everyone's heart, but they don't have the opportunity to show it. Once they have the opportunity, they will show up. You don't watch many of our incidents, and they eventually turn into beatings, smashings, and looting. In fact, it is the release of the inner evil beast. The British are known for being gentlemen, but they are also home to football hooligans.
What to do then? , the film does not tell us, I think, making such a film is a kind of reflection and admonition to remind us of our hearts, but it is not lofty, it needs constant reminders, restraint, and sometimes venting and counseling. It is also inseparable from faith and awe.
