Don't say it's shit, it's not that good-looking anyway.
It has been inciting the negative emotions of the audience, and finally vented it out as expected.
The perspective outside the experiment is not given at all. It is not so much that it is left blank, it is better to say that the degree of completion is low. If the light is not broken, why did it not light at the beginning, why did the researchers not intervene when the phenomenon appeared, and the experiment collapsed and then opened the door?
This part may not be displayed in order to limit the audience's perspective of God and make the sense of substitution stronger. But it feels like a bug in the script, although a little information is added later in the plot.
The typical routine plus the overly deliberate blank space is where the low-level feeling of this film lies.
The psychology of characters in this environment is indeed very difficult to experience, and can be understood to a certain extent after understanding the real Stanford experiment. But the characters in the film that show the inherent evil of human nature, one is a black person with flaws in character and physiology, and the other is a non-heterosexual who is extremely narcissistic. This is great for highlighting inconsistencies and advancing the plot, but neither of these are representative samples in a real experiment.
The abruptness caused by putting dramatic characters into a human experiment in pursuit of realism is what makes this film feel disconnected.
There are also nice places. After the experiment, everyone in the bus was silent, with guilt, resentment, forgiveness, and disbelief, all in the exchange of glances between "the warden" and "No. 77". The use of interview lenses also supplements the blank part about the nature of this experiment, which is a general explanation for the doubts in the previous experiment, which can add a sense of reality in terms of form.
Looking at this film alone will not give it only two stars, but after all, there is a similar type of "Dog Town" there, and the judgment is made.
