What happens when a group of people is locked in a space completely cut off from the outside world?
The film shows this situation in front of our eyes. In this closed space, the longer people stay, the longer their legal consciousness and humanity will be eroded, and they can release their desires without any worries here. The experiments in the film did not involve women, but if they did, we can imagine what would happen to them.
It is hard to imagine that humans evolved from this situation. When highly educated people are locked up together, it is this "pomp" that unfolds. I think the reason is that social relations are too simple. In real life, everyone has complex social relations; they are all subject to various things, so the real society presents a relatively stable state. When the social relationship is too simple, such as the relationship between prisoners and jailers in the film, resources and status are completely unequally distributed, and the desires of both parties will expand at the same time. The strong party wants to squeeze the weaker party more strictly, while The weaker party begins to want to resist, and when the desire swells to an extreme, the two sides will inevitably fight, just like the end of the film, if this really happens in a society, the result will be the destruction of this society.
However, the film has its problems. The object of a psychological experiment should be normal people, and almost everyone in the film has its huge character flaws; secondly, there is a strange love line in the film, maybe the director wants to use this To express the character of the male protagonist, but it is undoubtedly self-defeating.
