The film is about thinking about human nature, what happens to kind and pollution-free people after they get their rights. Clearly someone is twisted. Then the film over.
In the end, the black fat man did a good job. (Shuibao added: ahem, pay attention to racial discrimination)

The death experiment is obviously about human nature, Travis always represents justice and kindness, even after being oppressed to a certain level, he He rose up to resist and used violence, but from the beginning to the end he had no intention of taking people's lives, and still retained the last trace of humanity. (The protagonist's halo, the role of the premise of the beauty of human nature.) In the last fight, he first threw away the crowbar and fought Barris with his bare hands. Barris took out the knife in the back, Travis grabbed the knife and threw it away, just punched Barris hard with his fist. From beginning to end, the beauty of humanity represented by Travis has not disappeared, which is probably the only consolation of this film.
Speaking of Barris, Gao Bao and I both gritted our teeth at this character when we saw it, and agreed that this was the most distorted character. In the first appearance, Barris was the only person in a suit and tie, who spoke politely to people, and said in the interview that he had strong religious beliefs, and seemed to be an absolute moral model. But then his mother yelled at him at home, showing that he was not respected and he had a very statusless life. After that "chickenshit", Barris's joy disappeared in an instant, replaced by a face full of numbness, helplessness, and deep depression after calm. In the United States, no boy will continue to live with his parents as adults or after he has a job, which in itself is a sign of independence. In the interview, it was mentioned that he was 42 years old and lived with his mother and was a mama boy through and through. His reaction was very unnatural, and I guess that was the reason for picking him as a prison guard. Years of oppressive life, all kinds of unsatisfactory life, will be fully vented in this immoral and lawless place, the most perfect demonstration of the origin of human nature. After Barris tasted power the first time, the second time he offered to punish the prisoner. Then he lost his beard, and finally shaved off his hair, which means that he gradually got rid of the shackles that bound him, and he fully enjoyed the pleasure brought by power. This is something he does not have in the outside world, and this is why He is the most faithful to this prison guard role. Remembering the first time he carried out his proposal to discipline a criminal, Barris found himself erect, and it seemed to make him understand something. I speculate that in real life, his life is extremely depressed, he is extremely inferior, and according to psychology, he cannot feel the pride of being a man at all, and he denies himself inwardly, so he is psychologically impotent. In the experiment, he once again gained the dignity he deserves as a man. This unprecedented pleasure made him more and more devoted to this role, and he couldn't stop. Finally, at the moment when the red light was on, everyone walked out of the warehouse and saw the approaching bus. Barris straightened his back again and buttoned the prison guard uniform like a suit. If Travis represents the beauty of human nature, then Barris fully embodies the four characters of beasts.
Let's talk about my diabetic brother, Benjy. Before waiting for the bus, there was a very second scene. Barris, Travis and Benjy were sitting together. Travis was sitting between them, forming a line. Everyone was talking and laughing. But in the end, Barris killed Benjy, and Travis launched a final resistance and rushed to Barris. If Travis and Barris represent absolute justice and evil, then Benjy is the victim of the battle between the two parties, a prey, one party must desperately protect, while the other party desperately destroys, in order to show the strength of both sides.
Finally, let's talk about the most conscientious little black brother among the prison guards, Bosch. He is the most opposed to the violent actions of the prison guards, and reflects the moral bottom line of human beings from beginning to end. It is because of this that he was expelled by the same kind - the prison guards, and became the prisoner's side. He represented the bottom line of morality and did not agree with violence, but in the end he took a crowbar and beat the prison guards with the prisoners. Like the original prison guards, he turned his dissatisfaction to violence. (Personally, if he handed the crowbar to Travis at the end, the irony would be more obvious)
The death experiment from the beginning of the film is about the battle of trapped beasts. Fighting beasts has nothing to do with morality or law. At first it seemed that the prison guards were the stronger side, but in the end it was the prisoners who had an overwhelming victory. Barris insisted that he was the authority until the end, but was knocked to the ground by Travis in disbelief on his face. The film is based on a real experiment, an experiment conducted at Stanford University that year. The prison guards and prisoners of the year were all played by students, and they seemed to have resorted to the law in the end, but in any case, the lives of those students were changed because of this, which is why this type of experiment was finally banned permanently. The ending of the movie still gives us a good side, showing the truth, goodness and beauty in human nature. Although the whole article is distorted human nature, or called beast nature, but here I want to say that even animals, after every fight (especially the Colosseum kind), will whine, and there is something to hurt them. emotional. I am very fortunate that Travis finally threw away the crowbar and the knife, which made me still believe in the beauty of human nature.
