After watching this movie, my biggest feeling is that it sucks, it sucks.

HUMAN BEINGS ARE FUCKED UP. You can never tell how shitty a person can be when authority is given to him without letting him to take any responsibility.

Btw, Professor Zimbardo is awesome, but this psychology experiment that took place in the 1970s is inhumane. It was rumored on the Internet that this controversial experiment was a fake. Regardless of whether it was true or not, Professor Zimbardo later expressed some regrets about the prison experiment, and has been devoted to research in the direction of psychological education.

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.
