Yes, the shock of this connection seems to be greater than the shock the film should have given me. So, I want to think, why is this? Either, over time, I have become numb; or, I have grown a calm state of mind, can be relatively calm?
At the time of writing these words, I have no answers.
Otherwise, I'd better go back to the movies. After all, I couldn't help watching three films in one go yesterday; I also rewatched "The Elephant", "The Tide", and related materials and documentaries yesterday. Students who know something must know that these are films adapted from factual events. PS: Well, as a house girl, I have exposed the state of doing nothing on May 1~~~
---------------------------- ----------Dividing line-------------------------------------- -Among
the three series, this one is the most realistic. Unlike the other two, it is adapted from a novel, which amplifies and intensifies the contradiction and deepens the drama. Then, precisely because of this, among the three series, this one, I gave the highest score. The reasons are:
1. The two types of roles in this experiment are the "guards" representing justice and the "prisoners" representing evil, and the experiment itself is just to challenge the fact that there are only five rules for justice "guards" Under limited circumstances, to what extent can the consciousness inspired by power be freely exerted, and at the same time, to what extent can the evil "prisoners" bear it?
It can be seen that in this version, on the first day, the state of the two characters is the most ideal, because the sense of substitution of the characters is not so deep, so the group of "prisoners" is "evil" living up to expectations, and they are rewarded The regiment began to rebel against the control of the "guards". This kind of resistance is only a more normal human reaction when entering the primary stage of the role, that is to say, I know that although my role is defined as "evil", I know that I still have certain rights, and I Dare to defend my rights.
Well, starting with the "guards" using fire extinguishers and throwing away the beds, the control has loaded a lot beyond what the group of "prisoners" can normally bear. It can be said that the nature of the role itself has begun to change collectively. Especially since the "guards" targeted 8612 (possibly misremembered) who most wanted to defend their rights, the "prisoners" gradually gave up their awareness of defending their rights.
In this version, because there is no dramatic conflict, only the changes of the two characters every day are written in a straightforward manner, which makes the audience feel closer to the real situation, and because of the word "real", it will make people feel Being shocked will destroy your interest in watching movies, will give you an extremely uncomfortable experience in watching movies, and will bring you more thinking.
2. When we saw the last day, when the most obedient "prisoner" was forced to speak swear words and collectively perform humiliating sexual operations, I thought he would at least resist, but he actually violated himself for twenty years. At the same time, from the perspective of God, we have also seen that, as the initiator of the experiment, we have gradually entered the role of "supreme ruler" and cannot extricate ourselves; this kind of reversal The painful and depressing feeling brought by the plot of the film, which hits the viewers with a feeling of suspending their lives and suppressing them to the point of nowhere to release, is the beauty of this version.
The experiment was suspended. The real situation is: the colleague who asked the question in the movie was the colleague who mentioned "Have you considered the independent variable" (in fact, the actor played himself), and the question he raised touched the professor. ; At the same time, the girlfriend in the film had a more intense quarrel with him in reality, because she couldn't stand it, the professor could calmly watch the "guards" humiliate and punish the "prisoners", and did not have the consciousness of correcting mistakes , she couldn't stand her lover turning into a demon. Afterwards, they got married anyway. In addition, a student who participated in this experiment became a professor of psychology in the future.
Well, in fact, the second one is closer to the first one. I just want to express that this is a real thing~~
3. In the series, I watched this one first, but I thought it was shot before more than ten viewings, because the characters and background settings in the film are very contemporary, make the movie more real.
In the end, many people may imagine how they would behave when they entered this experiment, but I didn't dare to think about it at all.
Ps: To add another experimental situation, the professor in "The Wave" was arrested in the movie because one of his students was killed and one injured; in reality, despite the long-term bad effects, there were no casualties, and he was also more beautiful.
