Prison: A relatively closed and special place, the relationship between prison guards and prisoners is a very special one in the whole social relationship, where part of the human rights of prisoners, that is, democracy, freedom, and equality, have been restricted to a certain extent or even It is deprivation, while the prison guards are in great power, and the strict systems endow them with absolute power and power. In this special environment, the delicate choice between system, morality and conduct is likely to inspire certain people. The side of some people who are usually unknown, and other aspects that are deeply hidden in human nature are often awakened, magnified, and distorted from the depths of the heart under such circumstances.
This film is said to be based on real events, and no matter what the whole story is, it is just that in order to have a deeper understanding and analysis of human nature, scholars in Europe and the United States really dared to try such experiments with real people. Intermittent observation and recording to study and analyze, this attempt in the film should be considered a failure, but it is certain that valuable research materials are definitely left, and there will definitely be people who will do similar experiments. .
The experiment in the film was carried out in a simulated prison, and the selected experimental subjects were selectively divided into two parts. The five rules promulgated by the experiment party have become a cordon that neither side can cross. However, apart from these five rules, the prison guards can use any other method to maintain the order of the entire experiment and maintain their absolute power. The experiment soon ran into trouble, and in the sense of being in control, the black prison guard played by Forest Whitaker, who gradually lost his true nature, began to reveal the cruelty, cunning, despicable, and tyrannical that his character had never shown. On the other hand, the prisoner representative played by the male protagonist Adrien Brody chooses to defend his basic human rights again and again and chooses to fight, but each time the price becomes heavier and heavier, and he is repeatedly humiliated. The spirit reached the brink of collapse, and at this time, the relationship between the prison guard and the prisoners was also escalated to the brink of outbreak by the incident again and again. Finally, the black prison guard's blow with a stick completely shattered the last hope of peace in the prison. At this time, the experiment was not terminated due to the violation of the rules by the prison guards. At this time, the researchers hoped to see the arrival of the prisoners' riots, or to continue to be ravaged. When human nature is endlessly suppressed, what will happen at the selected stall may be a very valuable research material, but everyone who is taken as the research object has to say that their destiny is firmly controlled by money, In the end, some people paid the blood and sweat, and some people even paid the price of their lives.
Although the film is a remake, the head-to-head confrontation between the two Oscar winners, Adrien Brody and Forest Whitaker, is nothing short of wonderful. Definitely worth a look.
