I feel a lot, so I wrote down a few sentences in a hurry, which is probably a short comment.
In the film, a professor confronts Phil's question - what are the variables of this experiment, I think this is a crucial point, the independent variables that affect the global are elusive and easily overlooked. At the same time, after watching the movie, I still can't figure out what the variables of this experiment should be.
At the same time, we can clearly feel that freedom is more important than everything, and it can make people give up the most important money in the era of materialism.
I think the experiment failed maybe because the criminals didn't think they belonged in this pre-set environment at first, which is very important, so they choose to resist, and once they resist, there will be unfreedom, and they will understand This non-human thick black does not erupt in silence, nor does it perish in silence. From this, we can see the huge influence of the surrounding environment on us, and for the real criminals who use the real prison as their real environment, they will not need such hysterical resistance. The kind of people who are really in a bad environment, all misfortunes are taken for granted, they have no excuse to think, yes, your thinking about the environment is really just an excuse for you to escape from reality. Looking at it another way, when bad luck strikes, perhaps we'd better think that bad luck is ours.
The existence of a black consultant is a highlight, because he had been in a real prison, and he finally left this experiment. During the previous participation process, he really felt the same way and even gave advice full of experience, but he finally found that, He was the kind of person he felt deeply...
8612 and 819 were two of the more rebellious criminals, and that's why they left at the earliest, out of great injustice in their hearts and out of disapproval. Ambiguity of justice because they hear things like "8612 is a coward" "819 did something bad and he needs a lawyer to bail him" …
I want to end my review with this short paragraph at the end of the film-
In fact, anyone can see that the momentum is not right, but these people can't, after you give them uniforms and sunglasses and batons, they're not what they used to be, and at the same time, I became A number, that's the point, I'm not playing a prisoner in an experiment, I'm a real prisoner.
