Movie loses legitimacy compared to real Stanford Prison Experiment

The Stanford Prison Experiment

The Stanford Prison Experiment

1. I know this movie is based on a real experiment, but it is too unreasonable. When the conflict was so intense, no one told the guards that their actions had broken the law (whether it worked or not), only that the behavior in the experiment had exceeded the terms of the experimental contract.
2. When applying for parole, the prisoner did not say that the reason why he came in was just because of the experiment. They all wanted to go out so much, but they still did not clearly and formally express that they wanted to withdraw from the experiment (it is one thing to say no, it is another thing to let the organizer let them withdraw).
3. I have seen another film about the Stanford Prison Experiment (Death Experiment. Das. Experiment. 2001), the violence in that film is gradual, and the prison guards will abuse the prisoners basically at the beginning. I really don't know how much difference there is.

Having said so much, I just want to say that the experiment is a rare experiment, and the thoughts I want to express are also very good, but the plot is really unreasonable. For a psychological or suspenseful movie, if the plot doesn't make sense, no matter what it's trying to convey, the movie doesn't qualify. If you don't pay attention to rationality, then make do with it.

The Stanford Prison Experiment quotes

  • Jesse Fletcher: You brought me here to legitimize this experiment and there's nothing legitimate about this place, Phil.

    Dr. Philip Zimbardo: You're right. You're right. I didn't explain it well. Prisons, they represent a loss of freedom, literally and symbolically.

    Jesse Fletcher: Yeah, but that does not explain why they're wearing dresses. They're wearing dresses, Phil.

    Dr. Philip Zimbardo: Yes, I understand. Uh, we're trying to strip away their individuality. Make them uniform. Feminize them.

    Jesse Fletcher: Feminize them?

    Dr. Philip Zimbardo: Yes. Feminize them. Take away all the things that make them them. You see, we're trying to understand how an institution affects an individual's behavior. We're trying to do something... We're trying to do something good.

  • Karl Vandy: It's easy for you to say, 'Oh, I wouldn't have acted that way', but you don't know. That's - that's the truth. You don't know. And now I know what I'm capable of, and it hurts.
