A few reflections

1. Respect should also be a fundamental human right. Everyone deserves to be respected.

When I watched the film, I always thought that if no matter what a person's behavior stains (thieves, robbers, rapists), no matter how weak a person is (labor prisoners, death row prisoners), people can treat an ordinary person like an ordinary person. Treat them with the same kindness and respect.

2. The hypnotic power of the environment on people is powerful. Prisoners and jailers are automatically entered into the play quickly, right? When the people in Group B acquiesced that they were prisoners (even if they weren't!! Even if they didn't do anything bad! Even if they didn't deserve to be treated like this at all!), no one felt that they shouldn't be abused! The film's reminder to us is not to give up fighting unfair treatment just because everyone around you in the same situation thinks 'you' deserve to be treated this way.

3. Never forget that you are the one who chooses your actions. When the evil forces are coming, at least stay awake, and always remember that if you don't resist evil, you choose to do evil yourself. As for whether you have the courage to stand up and say, go against the trend and roar for a lifetime, uncle, it is inappropriate for you to do this! It's another realm.

4. Soft violence.
Don't hate the villain, don't hate him for being insidious, don't hate him for using non-physical violence to abuse the 'prisoner', he must have been a victim himself. We should be reminded that in our life, we should avoid using soft violence against others, such as verbal violence, such as using our own power to suppress and squeeze others. Any form of violence can quickly awaken the evil thoughts of others' humanity.

The Experiment quotes

  • [last lines]

    Nachrichtensprecher: [voiceover - spoiler] The tragic outcome: two dead, three injured, among them project leader Professor Klaus Thon. Clearly, the experiment went out of control after two days. The district attorney is investigating two possible manslaughter charges and several charges of abuse and negligence. One of the test participants has been arrested. The project direction will probably have to answer to a court. According to statements by one of the scientists, the escalation might have been prevented by aborting the experiment earlier.
