Before the experiment, he questioned everyone. And arrange their roles according to their personalities and experiences. There are only two roles in this experiment, one is a prisoner and the other is a guard. But these two relationships, in a closed environment, are most prone to violence.
This experiment is illegal. But it is reasonable, although in the end the law stopped such experiments, but in fact every day in the world such conflicts of similar roles occur. Not just prisoners and guards, but also a conflict between multiple characters.
At the beginning of the film, you can see the throbbing of people's hearts. Before the collective protest, a man said something to the protagonist, something went wrong and forced you to leave a warm nest. At the same time, the truth of everything is told through a woman:
the real war is in my heart. Someone once said that the biggest enemy in the world is actually yourself. External forces are powerful, often forcing people into all kinds of thinking and struggles. What is true today may not be what it is tomorrow. Note that the truth here is a false proposition, not necessarily the real truth. At the same time, in this post-modern society, diverse values have become the mainstream. So the initiator of the experiment said, what do you think about absolute right and wrong. It also asked everyone who participated in the experiment questions about their beliefs.
There seems to be a satire on religion here. The man who believes in Jesus, when he loses his temporary religious restraint [or he does not really realize his sin] and enters another role, has a desire in his heart like a woman, which stimulates him extremely. When he got the role of the jailer and used this power for the first time, he was actually subdued by the power. The pleasure came up and he saw his erection in the mirror. This metaphor is interesting.
Rights, like libido. There is no restraint without restraint, then you are controlled by power. You are the slave of power.
At first, it was all about money. Everyone has negotiated, which reminds me of the place where human beings build the Tower of Babel in their own name. Their language is unified, and they are on the same page when they have no different roles and rights. Here, the black man who reads the Bible, lives in his mother's house, and lives a cowardly life, even more complacent when the first punishment takes effect.
He began to understand his rights and to make full use of them. It seemed to be taking back something that had been lost. He learned a set of fraternities. The evil in his heart finally had a place to vent. From insulting them to destroying their will. Frighten them into violence at the end. What kind of power is this. It is driven by the desire of an ordinary person after he has power.
Don't think that the desire for power has nothing to do with us, not just him. I believe that even the managed Tesvez would have the same reaction and ending. It's just that the initiators of the experiment knew how to control the situation after fully understanding their psychology in advance, and let such a situation of killing each other appear in the fastest way.
When Satan tempted Jesus in the wilderness, he said that if you worship me, I will give you all the kingdoms. This is one of the biggest temptations. Right, Jesus triumphed. Because he understands that conquest is not by power, but by love.
