At the beginning of the film, the theme was pointed out, saying that it was about a brainwashing experiment, which had been banned before, but now it is going to be reopened. In order to guide new participants to understand the situation, the experiment began. . . . . .
Regarding the process of the experiment, I don't want to elaborate, but I want to say that it always ends. The ending of the movie is that of the four people who participated in the experiment, three of them were executed by the experimenter for being eliminated, and the last one was led to the second stage of the experiment. Then, the movie ended like this! ! ! Originally, when I saw the middle, I thought it must have an unexpected ending, but it was strange, the ending was very plain, everything was guided according to the steps of the experiment, there were no emergencies, no deep thoughts, and even the purpose of the experiment was vague. The words are inexplicable. I rarely check movies, but I specifically checked online film reviews for this movie, but the film reviews are also simple, similar to the plot, and nothing new.
Before going to bed, I was still thinking about this movie. The purpose of the experiment should be to select patriots who are brave enough to sacrifice, and then train these people to be the same as those "human bombs" in the Middle East to perform some The task of death and lifelessness, but the person selected at the end is clearly implied that the person imprisoning him is likely to be a foreign hostile, but at the last moment, even if he chooses to commit suicide, he is still unwilling to kill others to gain his own chance of survival. What about this kind of person? May become the ultimate goal in the experiment. Since this is not the purpose, what is the purpose?
In the end, I think that the purpose of the experiment is not the result, because there is a reminder in the movie that since the four experimenters have just participated, the goal of the ultimate survivor has long been determined, so why experiment is obviously a process of experimentation. Who will show the process, of course, are newcomers who have just come into contact with this project. In other words, this experiment is for training new recruits.
In the movie, the heroine was selected to participate in this project because of her outstanding personal ability, she is good at observing others, and can judge true or false through the micro-expressions of others. This is the basis of being a spy. In life, the female protagonist appears withdrawn, sometimes cold-blooded, very calm in dealing with problems, and capable of doing things. This is a condition of being a spy. However, people are not machines. No matter how ruthless people are, they have softness and sensibility. Special training is required at this time. And this experiment is actually designed for her. For her, the experiment is divided into four phases. One is to express her position through conversation, and the experiment host tells her that this is a forbidden project to test the participant's position. In the second stage, video was used to show the essence of the experiment, so that many innocent people could be sacrificed for the result. In the third stage, the experiment was transformed from video into a living reality, and the heroine was inspected on the spot, so that she felt the impact of the experiment. In the fourth stage, she was integrated into the group by explaining the facts. From the transformation of the heroine, we can see that the experiment was successful. In the first stage, the heroine is questioning, the second stage is exploring, the third stage is unacceptable, the intention is to change the result, and the fourth stage is approval. From the third stage of trying to help the experimenter, to the fourth stage of refusing to help, the heroine was "brainwashed". Of course, this is just the beginning. Once the heroine identifies with her identity, the second and even the third stage of the experiment, which did not appear in the later movies, should be a more comprehensive and in-depth transformation of the heroine, and finally complete the entire "brainwashing" process.
. Sometimes we think that we are the master of the experiment, but the fact is that we are the subject of the experiment, and we are subtly changed into what others need, but we don’t know anything and think we’re the right one. This , May be the scariest part of the whole movie.
The film is after the 9/11 incident in the United States. The director may want to tell the world in this way that for behaviors like 9/11, the participants must think that they are the right party. However, this is probably another kind of "brainwashing" experiment. result.
