this film. Just evaluate the strengths and weaknesses of this film and their possible improvements (personal subjective opinion, don't spray.) This
film has a strong cast and two leading actors . Are Oscar acting best actor: Adrien Brody Adrien Brody; Forest Whitaker Forest Whitaker. First of all, the performance is guaranteed, and the audience will definitely remember Whittaker's extreme villain's behavior.
This film is about a group of ordinary people with different living environments and different personalities who participate in an experiment with rich material rewards because of the need for money in life. The experiment required them to be randomly divided into two groups, locked in a mock prison, one of the guards and the rest of the prisoners. Throughout the experiment, prisoners had to obey prison guards, who had the right to impose a certain degree of "discipline" on prisoners. If any one person cannot persevere or violates the rules (that is, violence) during the experiment, it means that the experiment has failed, and everyone is busy. If everyone perseveres, there will be huge bonuses. As the experiment progressed, everyone followed the rules at first, but only engaged in some insulting behavior. Later, the prisoners and the police clashed again. One of the prisoners died, but the red light did not turn on. Then, the helpless prisoners rose up to resist, and the experiment ended. After everyone got the money, they went back to their homes. The initiator of this practice was arrested.
The advantages and disadvantages of this film are very obvious, mainly in the following points:
Advantages:
First, it highlights the evil of human nature inspired by money and power, and has made a profound reflection on human greed, anger, desire for power, etc.
Second, the film is in-depth layer by layer, from shallow to deep, with a strong sense of rhythm, allowing the audience to enter the plot and experience the film.
Third, the character setting cleverly uses the huge contrast between the characters before and after, which better reflects the film's ideological reflection of evil human nature. For example: the villain Whitaker just started out in suits and shoes, looking weak and introverted, but in the experiment, tempted by power, his weak appearance was slowly torn apart, and the wolf-like desire began to dominate him.
There are roughly three disadvantages:
First, the beginning and the end of the film ended hastily. Compared with the experimental events in the middle, some proportions are out of balance, which makes the audience feel anticlimactic after watching
. For example: Brody's character as a prisoner, who repeatedly thinks of a woman he met during the experiment, is another side of the story, and slowing down the plot makes the audience jump out of the tension caused by the experiment.
Third, the film's digging of the prisoners and the police is different, so that the characters are portrayed differently, and they are more inclined to portray the police. The portrayal of the prisoners only stays in warmth-obedience-resistance, which cannot well express the theme of evil human nature. lead to a poor emotional experience for the audience.
The beginning of the film is very good. In the form of a documentary, the technique of jumping and cutting, and the use of fast and slow motion pictures well convey the idea of evil human nature shared by humans and animals.
Nice transition to people, which brings out the point of the film.
