Honest people have no good fruit to eat, so dare to change their lives!

When I saw it, my heart was full of the desire to kill. The prisoners had an advantage in number. If one guard was killed unexpectedly, the rest of the guards would be sober and out of the role of the experiment. Even if you can't kill the guards, it shouldn't be difficult to kill the doctor. That's why people with violent tendencies are excluded from elections. The reason why the prisoners did not dare to resist was because they were not vicious criminals themselves; while the ordinary students suddenly became guards with the power of life and death, and the psychology of the two went to two extremes. Honest people will become more and more honest, and ruthless people will become more and more ruthless. The cruelest guard at the end of the film, who used a small experiment to cover up his evil heart, reminded me of "Stockholm Syndrome". If I knock out that guard's teeth, put a bit on it, and whip his body with a leather whip, I'm sure he'll be my good horse in less than six days. Personally, I feel that this experiment is completely meaningless. I guessed the end after seeing the beginning (before, I have not read the introduction, and I have not heard of this experiment). Like me, if I were to be sentenced, I would kill someone casually and then commit suicide. I can't understand the thoughts of the people here. However, it is certain that there is no humanity in the prison. If the inside is the same as the outside, then there is no point in going in.

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.
