"Death Experiment" tells the story of people with different personalities and different circumstances, in order to get a salary of 14,000 US dollars, after passing the interview, they conducted a simulated prison experiment at the request of the doctor. 26 participants were asked to play prison guards and prisoners when they were told that the experiment was absolutely safe before the experiment. The prison guards managed the prisoners according to regulations. The prisoners who disobeyed the order would be punished, but the punishment degree was determined by the prison guards. Within the determined power, the prison guards staged scenes of violence and cruelty in order to identify themselves and compete for power. The experiment was eventually suspended due to the death of a prisoner, the prisoner rebelled against the prison guards, and the doctor was brought to court for the death of the experimenter. After watching the movie, I have many questions: "Life is precious, why did the doctor let the prison guard touch the line?", "What caused the death of the prisoner and the trampling of the character?". My answer is: the desire to touch the bottom line and the bottom line of indulging desire is the fuse that brings disaster! To solve the problem, it is inseparable from the discussion of the first action motivation of people and people's behavior, that is, the object that desire and desire face in reality: the bottom line. So I want to explore the relationship between bottom line and desire, rule and will, justice and selfish desire. The understanding of desire must be placed on the specific person. Fromm said, "As man transforms the world around him, he also transforms himself! Therefore, man creates himself. But just as he can only transform and transform nature according to the nature of natural matter, so he also only transforms himself. It can transform and change itself according to human nature.” What is human nature? The first god in Greek mythology was Eros, who was in charge of love and reproduction. She was desire, and she produced everything. From this, it can be inspired that human nature should follow human desires, and human nature can be reflected through desires. As for the desire to control, in fact, most people cannot control it very well, just like the dictatorial prison guard who used violence to pursue power, the doctor who sacrificed his life for the purpose of the experiment, and the prisoner who became an accomplice of the deceased in order to obtain money. In order to establish their own identity, the experimenter who played the role of the prison guard did not hesitate to use violence to confront the "prisoners" who were also the experimenter. After violating the rules several times without being punished, they went further and further on the road of coveting power. They used power violence to satisfy their sexual desires, selfish desires, and deformed psychology. Under such atrocities, the prisoners were provoked to resist. Human freedom is the control of natural desires. If alienated by desires, people can only become "prisoners of their own experiences"! Desire has to face its own bottom line in reality. We might as well consider "What is the difference between a person who has no bottom line, no rational thinking, and an animal?" Humans belong to the animal kingdom in terms of their bodies and physiology. People without rational thinking follow their own desires without restraint, which brings extremism and denial of personality. The indulgence methods of black prison guards all reflect the darkness of extreme and human nature. Although a series of extreme practices such as the suppression of Prisoner 77 briefly allowed him to enjoy the happiness that power brought him, when the experiment ended, as the roles changed, the power he enjoyed also disappeared. He couldn't face his violent prisoner, Zeng Jin's friend, and he was sad when he walked to the court. The actual object of desire also comes from the bottom line of society. If the bottom line of justice chooses to indulge desire, it will bring conflict and disaster. The doctor who mastered the entire experiment stated the principle of "this experiment absolutely guarantees life safety, no violence, etc.", but chose to ignore and condone when the prison guards hurt the prisoners and let the prison guards come around. The rules that are in name in this experiment are not guaranteed. Fairness and justice for people. Against such a background of lack of fairness and justice, the prison guards picked quarrels and provoked trouble and did whatever they wanted. But the fact that millions of people have the same vices does not make them into virtues; the fact that millions of people have the same mental illness does not make them sound people. The scenes in the movie where the black and white rules and bottom lines are reversed and no longer maintain fairness and justice also exist in our daily life. When we are in it, will we make the choice of "being in a state of embarrassment and procrastinating" like the prison guards? When the bottom line is missing, rationality is lost, and desires are crazy, will we all stick to the goodness in our hearts like Prisoner No. 77 and not lose ourselves? If there is no way to choose the environment, I would like to respond with a sentence from No. 77: "Humans and animals are different, at least people can resist"! Compared with animals, people have infinite plasticity: when people transform the world around them, they are also transforming and creating themselves. So don't let desire touch the bottom line, don't be a "slave of your own situation", and become your own master. The desire to touch the bottom line and the bottom line of indulging desire are people’s state of mind, and their vicious drills will bring disaster to others and society. The bottom line of restraining desire is the battle line that each of us must adhere to, because it is not only the embodiment of a healthy personality, but also a necessary condition for a healthy society. Only by sticking to the common bottom line of maintaining justice can we realize our desires and our freedoms more reasonably and better. Only by handling our inner desires can we not be "slaves to our own circumstances"! Temperance brings extremism and denial of personality.
