Experiment?

First and foremost, the entire movie is a true event. I'm also curious whether the psychology professor who did this experiment, like the professor in this movie, just wanted to see what the follow-up would be, or if he just wanted to do the experiment.
The experimental point of the whole film is to express the use of power, or to express what a world without law is like.
If it's about power, I have to say the movie is a success. But in just six days, the prisoner's world was nothing but execution, and the police officer's world was full of doing whatever they wanted. No one called to stop, and no one stopped them. Just let things get bigger.
In fact, is there no human interference in the film? Actually there are. Run away, stop the run away, and tell them they can punish the prisoner in any way they want. The whole movie is full of the experimenter's interference with the subject, but they still think that they have not interfered with the experiment. Experiments with variables that have already emerged are doomed to failure.
I still remember what it said at the end. No matter what their future life is like, they will never forget this experience. For them, this experience will more or less destroy them psychologically and physically.
When the experiment reaches a certain level, please stop it by self-intervention.
Do not use an alcohol lamp with a 4 cm wire length. If you use it, it will endanger your own life.

The Stanford Prison Experiment quotes

  • Jesse Fletcher: You brought me here to legitimize this experiment and there's nothing legitimate about this place, Phil.

    Dr. Philip Zimbardo: You're right. You're right. I didn't explain it well. Prisons, they represent a loss of freedom, literally and symbolically.

    Jesse Fletcher: Yeah, but that does not explain why they're wearing dresses. They're wearing dresses, Phil.

    Dr. Philip Zimbardo: Yes, I understand. Uh, we're trying to strip away their individuality. Make them uniform. Feminize them.

    Jesse Fletcher: Feminize them?

    Dr. Philip Zimbardo: Yes. Feminize them. Take away all the things that make them them. You see, we're trying to understand how an institution affects an individual's behavior. We're trying to do something... We're trying to do something good.

  • Karl Vandy: It's easy for you to say, 'Oh, I wouldn't have acted that way', but you don't know. That's - that's the truth. You don't know. And now I know what I'm capable of, and it hurts.
