Whoever has power has sin.

The movie "Death Experiment" was mentioned because of the recommendation of the book "Lucifer Effect" in Liang Wendao's "Eight Minutes". The author is the famous Stanford University psychologist Philip Zimbardo, and this film is adapted from the "Stanford Prison Experiment" that the author conducted in 1971. The final question to be discussed is the change of human nature in a specific environment.
After watching "Death Experiment", there is only one feeling that people can become anything. The most terrible thing on earth is not natural disasters, not diseases, not hunger but human beings themselves, especially those who do not know the boundaries of good and evil. How to understand the good, and how to make our freedom and equality more important in the face of power, these should be questions we actively think about.
If we don't talk about the film itself, let's take ourselves as an example, what would you do if you were put in that environment? Many times people describe doing a lot of outrageous things as being "forced". When we face power, we bow our heads sadly; when we face high officials, we would rather pretend to be grandsons; when we face all powers stronger than ourselves, we can only "don't die in silence, just die in silence" break out". However, when some people have power, they will do whatever they want, be arrogant, and take the initiative to wield the power in their hands for their own interests. Therefore, in real life, countless corrupt officials, illegal and violent urban management, and wrongly judged cases have appeared in real life. Judges, conscientious doctors.... In fact, they are not wrong themselves, it is only the power in their hands that is wrong. If someone has power now, if he doesn't use it now, there will be no chance in the future. Therefore, in the face of power, people will seize every opportunity to seek benefits for themselves.

    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.
