The first is the transformation of Borus, who plays the prison guard in the film, which made me think without thinking, under the circumstances, people will change so much. Of course, looking at his personal growth, his performance in prison is not surprising. First of all, he is not young, 42 years old. This is an age when he should be able to stand on his own and be able to take care of his family. However, as shown in the film, he still lives with his mother and is still under his mother's "control" ”, but as far as he is concerned, he rejects it in his heart, because when his mother calls him, he does not obey in his behavior. There is also a scene in the film when he is in prison for the first time. After speaking, he had an erection, and at this time his face had a confidence that he did not have before. It can be seen that in his previous life, he lived an unsatisfactory life and was suppressed all the time, so that he did not even have masculine characteristics. His transformation happened when the prison guards dealt with the accident for the first time. When he found that the prisoners would be obedient, at this time, he may have begun to think about controlling the situation by himself. Speaking and erection in prison strengthened his confidence that he could control the situation and control others. Later in the prison, he continued to rectify prisoners and established a dignified image of prison guards. During this process, he mentioned that he had participated in similar activities before, so he knew the rules. Judging from his facial expressions and injured eyes before he participated in the experiment, it can be inferred that when he participated in the activity, he It should be the one who was bullied, but now, after he gains power, he puts these means on others to gain higher power, which reflects that the damage will continue. In the second half of the film, Borus's methods became more and more cruel, just because he had a standard at that time "the red light has not been turned on", so, with the support of this obsession, he continued to run rampant the so-called rules of the domineering executors, Ignoring a basic principle of being a person, accidentally wounding someone to death, still ignoring it, and even intensifying isolation of prisoners and beating prisoners. In fact, it is not difficult to see that Bruce has a mental illness. The previous psychological trauma has not been repaired, and the subsequent harm will be very great. Under extreme circumstances, it will be amplified, and the previously suppressed emotions will be released.
Then, in sharp contrast with the prison guards is the performance of the protagonist Prisoner 77 in the film. From the beginning of the film, prisoners beat others for maintaining the truth, setting the stage for later characterization. In prison, No. 77 has always been the one who stood out for his friends and stood on the side of justice. Even being insulted by the prison guards did not change him. Like the protagonist's sentence, the reason why humans evolve better than apes is because humans can resist. And, with the support of this belief, the protagonist rose up to resist, not afraid of power, and finally, everyone was released and returned to their original positions.
It can be seen from the film how important people's beliefs are, and the correctness of beliefs is even more important. Under this, the environment, rules, and identity roles will become incentives, leading to different behaviors. But people are people because people can keep learning and getting better, right?
