"Death Experiment" is about an experiment in which some volunteers in the society are divided into "prison guards" and "prisoners" to simulate the operation of a prison in a highly realistic environment. The experiment was planned for two weeks, but soon the experiment got out of control. The "prison guards" who have "power" began to use their "power" and began to abuse "prisoners", and even beat and insulted them. Even when the person who initiated the experiment found that the momentum was not right and was ready to stop it, when one of the "prison guards" found out in conscience that he was disobedient, the "prison guards" would also put them in the cell and beat them hard. even rape. The experiment ended with 2 dead and 3 wounded.
The film is adapted from the novel "Black Box", which was adapted from the 1971 Stanford University prison experiment. See: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E6%96%AF%E5%9D%A6%E7%A6%8F%E7%9B%91%E7%8B%B1%E5%AE%9E %E9%AA%8C
This reminds me of the "Cultural Revolution". I have thought countless times why many normal and kind people have done so many sensational things during the ten years of turmoil, and even beaten people to death in front of their families. Those young Red Guards, who are clearly in the rainy season, can do cruel things that are difficult for adults to do. Perhaps as in this movie, when people "accidentally" acquire "powers/powers" that they never had a lot of, especially the kind that "kill life", most people will soon be here Lose yourself in this kind of power. They use this power as much as possible to enjoy the pleasure and satisfaction they get from it. At the same time they will do everything in their power to defend their power from being taken away. As in the movie, when the people monitoring the experiment said they were going to stop the experiment, the "guards" were under the banner of "this is a test, they want to see if we have the ability to control the situation", but deep down, I think They are unwilling to lose this power as "prison guards". In particular, just like the most violent and most prominent person among the "prison guards", he must usually have some kind of flaw (body odor) that will cause others to laugh at and look down upon, and this can be above others and make others fear The power that gave him the satisfaction and pleasure he had never had before made him so crazy. Most of the people who exposed the darkest side of human nature during the "Cultural Revolution" must also belong to this category. [About the paragraph about the Red Guards, I am afraid there are many other psychological reasons, such as "obedience to power", see: http://zh.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E7%B1%B3%E5%B0%94%E6 %A0%BC%E6%8B%89%E5%A7%86%E5%AE%9E%E9%AA%8C ]
German movies can always give people a deep shock. Before, I once saw a movie called "The Tide". That film discusses a phenomenon I once studied at mno1001 called "collective extremes". When a person is in a group, he is more inclined to do something more extreme than when he is an individual. And this movie also reflects on the formation of Nazism well, why the Germans, who have always been strict and just, became so fanatical and extreme during Hitler's rule.
Casually speaking, many of them may be incorrect, and discussions are welcome.
