Jurisprudence says that there are two relationships between people, one is the relationship of domination and submission, and the other is the relationship of contract and equality.
At the beginning of the film, our protagonist and all the people involved in the experiment believe that there is a contractual and equal relationship between prisoners and prison guards, that prisoners think they can withdraw at any time, they can enjoy three meals a day, and they are not subjected to violence. But such days are boring, they will definitely break the order, so the situation where the prison guard is smashed by a basketball may be unintentional, but I prefer to think that this is the prisoner's test of the authority of the prison guard. With the development of the film, the prisoners gradually challenged the authority of the guards, and the guards gradually entered their own state. They entered a state of opposition uncontrollably. They gradually discovered that the prison guards and the prisoners were actually dominated and surrendered. relation. Because the prison guards have the power that the experimenters have given them. (Appropriate handling) What is power? In the sociological definition, power is the ability of an individual or group to break through or face the resistance of others and realize his will. When we saw that the black man made No. 77 perform a series of dignified behaviors, and the white prison guard asked Xiao Shou to satisfy his sexual desire, it was the prison guard who was driving the power given to him by the experimenter. In the film, the black man says that his power is not, but this is actually the ruler who is whitewashing the source of his power, because his power is given to them by the maker of the experiment. In this film, in fact, it is not the prison guards who are supreme, but the people outside the red light. It is the experiment maker who gives them the power. The person who organizes the experiment is the master and the rule maker. What is the red light, I I feel that the red light should be a kind of supervision, a supervision system for the ruling class, and the red light only flashes at the end in this film, indicating that the supervision system is invalid, and the power given to the rulers must be locked if they are not locked in a cage. will expand,
When the power was abused by the prison guards, some guards did not participate in the persecution of prisoners because of their conscience, but instead helped the prisoners, so they were demoted to prisoners by other guards. This shows that the ruling class is carrying out internal self-cleaning. When all the rules are broken, and when there is death, there is resistance. If there is no blood price, there will be no union.
Because of the bloody struggle, the red light was on, and everyone was released to return to normal life.
