Humanity is not enough

This is a German film based on a true experimental event. In the 1970s, a scientist sampled 24 college students and randomly divided them into two groups, prison guards and prisoners, and held them in a confined space to conduct a so-called "game experiment". The experiment was forced to stop after less than a week. , because of the violence. It can be seen from this that the inferiority of human beings is far beyond your imagination. This is not a dramatic adaptation in many films, but a real existence. Of course, the fragile and inferior nature of human beings has been brought to the screen time and time again. When it comes to unhappy people who are unhappy, whenever you lament why God is unfair to you, stop complaining, because this is part of the weakness of human nature, so just admit it.
Besides, this film is really a very good theme in terms of the incident itself, but the logic of the screenwriter is not enough. For example, at the beginning, the experimenter agreed to the experiment without any doubt, and later the prison guard's transition from being kind to perverted was a bit blunt. In fact, this story can be more perfect, for example, the character prospects of important characters can be more abundant, and the performance of how good or how bad both parties are in society before the experiment is more abundant, and then after the conflict is established, these two kinds of people The attitude changes produced by two different identities can make human nature more full, not just show a kind of darkness or resistance, we must know that human nature is also very bright sometimes.
It is said that this film has a remake version, which was released in the United States in 2009. I have not seen any changes or improvements in this version, but this theme is really tense, and it can clearly show the deepest things in human nature. Come out, even if we remake a version in China, it is not an exaggeration, but whether it can pass the censorship is a problem, maybe our own problems are more serious.

    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.
