This film is on the one hand to answer this question, on the other hand to reveal people's yearning for rights.
The protagonist of the story, Travis, saw a special job revelation after he lost his job in the tide. The generous remuneration attracted many people including him, and after a round of selection, 26 participants were transported to a prison to play the roles of prison guards and prisoners.
Travis was assigned to the prisoners, and someone who had a relationship with Travis was assigned to the guards. In the later development, the two caused the biggest conflict.
This experiment instilled the idea that you have endless rights on the one hand, and you have no human rights on the other. Therefore, one side has tasted the sweetness of power by torturing others, while the other side is accumulating dissatisfaction in enduring.
One of the prisoners accidentally hit the prison guard with a ball. The prison guard forced the prisoner to eat dog feces, and then the prison guard ignored the life and death of the prisoner. The person in charge of supervision has not stopped the abuse of rights, so the use of rights has become more and more absurd.
The prison guard's side is mostly immersed in the pleasure of power. They have lost themselves. As long as they are in prison, as long as they are still wearing that uniform, then they will never be able to wake up. Compared to the video of them interviewing for this job, in the outside world, they may not dare to beat people. And here, killing people is not even a shock. The life and death of others have been integrated into their rights. The so-called power of life and death is also in their hands.
The story ends with a bloody battle, when the red light to monitor them goes off, marking the end of the experiment. All the people realized that this was just an experiment when they saw the light shining in from outside the gate. They came only for those paychecks.
The promise of security was nothing but a lie. One of them died inside, which is not unexpected, but was predicted by the experimenter. The sad truth is that the two-week experiment ended in five days.
When people are freed from bondage, human nature returns to the essence, and the time for immersion in power is much shorter.
Watching this movie is watching rights, how human nature is lost in rights. It is not difficult to understand that people are flattering about rights.
Because of nature.
