"I hate you because I know what kind of person you can become, and the point is that I also know you're a good person."
If these people are divided into two groups, prisoners and prison guards, will the results change? I think it will. There may not be changes that put the cart before the horse, but there will be quantitative changes. Interviews at the beginning and end of the film also hint at the fact that the last two coin tossers happen to be the two most distinctive of the two groups. Dramatically, the "prisoner" who had the most vicious tricks said in an interview before the experiment that he wanted to play the "prisoner" because no one likes a prisoner. When announcing the end of the experiment, the prisoner showed a happy smile, but he thought "whether I can't get a salary." It is no wonder that he himself brought his own small experiments, and he was naturally very active in the experiments. He played the role of a spiritual leader among the prison guards. In this experiment, the ill-will of the prison guards was largely brought up by him. Like a benchmark, he directly lowered the bottom line of other prison guards. Others see that the prison guard can still do this, so what should I do? This actually started from acting, but later I became more and more used to this scene, and the fake drama was really done. But for prisoners, even if there are unusually stubborn and stubborn prisoners, it will not affect the bottom line of others too much. If a prisoner suddenly eats shit, the others will definitely not eat with him. Because they have never acted, they have been themselves from the very beginning. Everything is the most real reaction under pressure. Instinct resistance or submission is the most basic instinct of animals to protect themselves.
In fact, I have always believed that progress in every field requires sacrifice. Human psychological experiments, human drug trials and other projects, if the participants still choose to accept it voluntarily after all the consequences are clear, it is beyond reproach, but I still feel heartache in the middle of this film. For 15 dollars a day, thinking about the faces I once hated but enjoying, or living with the insecurities and fortifications of people that may be in the rest of my life, I feel sorry for them, don't say it's not, it's really. .
