But unfortunately , when placed into a position of power you start to think you have everything figured out , and that you can get away with anything you want . Not to mention , where was the professor during all this ?

@@tracexcze5408 Correction , I quite literally understood the film as it was based on an ACTUAL experiment which I had to do a report on . Also , IT'S CLEARLY IMPLIED that the red light was SPECIFIED to be manually turned on by the professor if he and his witnesses saw something wrong that occurred during the experiment that violated the previously stated rules . One of the rules is that ( PHYSICAL CONTACT , OR INTENT TO HARM THE PRISONERS PHYSICALLY ) isn't justified by any means and will result in the end of the experiment and no one getting paid . What confuses me is that although the film shows scenes of them entering rooms without cameras to commit these atrocities , there are also scenes WHERE THERE ARE CLEARLY CAMERAS , AND THE GUARDS ACKNOWLEDGE SUCH ! IT'S A MASSIVE HOLE IN THE PLOT , WHY DID THE LIGHT NOT TURN RED !? Not to mention the reason the guards think it was justified is because they excuse themselves with the excuses that ( " If we did something wrong the researches obviously saw it , which means we're not breaking the rules . And , if anyone was in our situation they'd do the same " ) Not to mention , MIKE MOST DEFINITELY DESERVED JAIL TIME . HE VIOLATED THE AGREEMENT RESULTING IN ITS ANULLMENT !

Important! This movie is based on the 'Stanford Prison Experiment' as many people have pointed out. However it's important to note that the Stanford Prison Experiment is an un-scientific experiment and has done a lot of damage to the field of psychology! The outcomes and the entire procedure of the experiment were manipulated in order to get the results that professor Philip Zimbardo wanted to. Multiple of the guards refused to hurt their prisoner counterparts until Zimbardo explicitly told them to do it multiple times. If you wish to learn about an actual scientific study about obedience to authority and power relations look up Stanley Milgram's 'Obedience to Authority' study.

While this is a great look at the mentality of prisoners/guards, its also something ive seen in various work places over the years.

So many times ive heard someone say "man so and so sucks, but theyve been here X years, or they are good friends with so and so, or sometimes its as simple as theyre pretty smart so they get to act how they want." Outside of actual supervisoral roles, much of the "hierarchy" between team mebers of the same rank is as organized as picking team captain for kickball during recess when in elementary school.

I learned about a similar study in my AP psychology class. It was a lesson on will your morals change if you are directed by a person of authority. The study also had guards, prisoners, and a warden. The guards and warden seemed to like the power and went on power trips against the prisoners cause they wanted to, or because they were told to. The whole point of the experiment in this movie was to see how far the guards would go with their power if they got “permission” (the red light not flashing) 6:06 this violates the rules of ethics in experimental research. If someone has a medical emergency, they are required to get proper help, or permission to leave the experiment.

An astute observation, that doesnt omit that power and corruption are still part of it. I think the the two concepts go hand in hand, an exasperate the situation together. For instance, most people don't want war. But those in power, whom are most certianly corrupt (especially if they instagate the war), use the _us vs. them_ mentality to create a sense of seperation from the shared humanity between sides. The corrupt and powerful even use this amongst their own people, knowing that the people are easier to control if they are fighting each other, instead of the people who hold the power behind the scenes. _- War happens when government tells you who the bad guy is. Revolution happens when you decide for yourself_

The actual experiment was pretty close to this with slightly different rules. The prisoners were forced into calisthenics, experienced humiliation and Zimbardo ended up stopping the experiment because he realized he had let things go too far (although I assume this was partially showmanship on Zimbardo’s part to cover what he allowed to happen). That said, the guards did a lot of nasty stuff, and the line between ‘good’ and ‘bad’ was literally just that. Words.

[@digitalcurrents]

You've completely missed the point of both the movie and the real experiment. Absolute power comes in many forms such as a mother taking care of her baby. Power doesn't corrupt absolutely. For every corrupt cop, soldier or guard, there are more who sacrifice their lives to save innocent people ie. Cops and Firefighters rushing into the 9-11 towers to save lives. The point of the experiment is that people have a tendency to realign their personal moral compass to comply with authority. In the movie, the guards stopped questioning right and wrong and allowed a red light to become their moral compass. In the real 1971 experiment, volunteers electrocuted (or thought they did) a person crying and begging to be released - all because the professor in charge told them to continue. People, generally speaking, rarely stand up against authority when it comes to right vs. wrong.

That chair kick at 7:28 looks like real head trauma. Ouch!

[@LathyrusRoots]

there's a spot at 2:43 where, if you look frame by frame, by pausing the video and tapping the , and . keys to go back and forth, the old man's face on the right glitches by jolting up from one frame to the next, then back down. i don't like glitchy things.

[@forcommentpurposes]

What the heck is this casting, wow it's full of A stars what the heck.

[@bobby4tw]

There's no other actor that can act as despicable in some movies and as joyful and loving in others as FOREST Whittaker. Did he ever get an Oscar? Because he certainly does on my opinion deserves one.

[@martinteece8983]

A good thought experiment, can't believe they made this a a movie.

[@infamousupstander1157]

Wow I learned of this in my psychology class! “Zimbardo prison experiment”

[@wendyev310]

These ppl folded hella easy 🤣 if I was doing this I’d simply just not act insane.

[@beautyhunter2286]

We all think we would but it's not until we are in that situation that we truly know who we are.

[@rosiebrooks7685]

​@@beautyhunter2286 But the shit is not real why act stupid and ridiculous for nothing. Everybody about to get paid just to sit there and shut up. I don't understand people.

[@rcharris1838]

David banner underrated af as a actor

[@Craved]

Saw this when i was young, never knew the meaning of get on your knees scene..

[@tsarfox3462]

The sad part is, in the actual Stanford Prison experiment, none of the guards dissented. They all turned into power-mad sadists.

[@shadowscall7758]

No, they didn't. Only about a third of them did. But the whole experiment was completely flawed, and the researchers were encouraging the guards to be corrupt instead of just seeing how things worked out.

[@MartinAston00]

There’s another movie with Billy Crudup and a bunch of Hollywoods rising young men, called “ Stanford Prison Experiment “ . It’s a lot better in my opinion. It’s based on a true story. Adrian Brody one is still good. …but if you like this one, you’ll love the Stanford one. Almost the same, but better.

[@Youremom0]

😂 travis got soft knuckles 🤣

[@OGStarlightKY]

Ragnar looks badass with that eyeliner

[@mkok.]

these videos always make my day :))

[@GolDFish-if1ov]

a wise man once said: "a little bit of power can turn a person into an asshole" We have that kinds of people in the society. The likes of police officers, politicians, managers etc.

[@Adoniis101]

That is a stupid “quote”.

[@bizcut]

Thats a very stupid take, stay in school

[@trevorstockwell8290]

Agreed absolute power corrupts absolutely

[@SupremacyBTD]

Prison lunch looks better than school food 💀

[@riverrain6711]

There is a quite similar german movie from 2001 called "Das Experiment" watched that in biology in school. Based on what I remember, they got sued for putting "based on a true story" at the end.

[@aleksandrafrej8633]

Not similar but simply original. This 2010 version is just cheap remake. 2001 "Das Experiment" was in cinemas in Europe and US... 2010 remake just direct-to-video, what is good information about quality of this production.

[@riverrain6711]

Good to know. Always thought of it as just another "small" movie, never knew it made it even into US cinemas.

The real life doctor (Zimbardo) started the experiment to try to prove his hypothesis that the acts of the Nazi soldiers in WWII were carried out because those individuals were different from normal people in some way, meaning they were more willing to do horrific things to people (because others contested that this wasn't true and that the soldiers were under extreme social influence). A cross-section of normal people were taken to the facility and randomly assigned either guard or prisoner. Similar to the movie, it ended badly and the experiment had to be shut down after only a short amount of time because of the brutality. In fact, the effect of the environment was seemingly so strong that Zimbardo himself got caught up in it and started abusing his power as the researcher too. So he ended up contradicting his own original hypothesis.

[@Captain_Confused]

The experiment was a sham, since the guards didn't want to be violent. Zimbardo had to press them to give him the results he wanted. He is widely discredited, and regarded as a joke

[@koscarlynn]

Micheals mom was said to be controlling and he as a guard ended up being controlling damn

[@veemon9280]

Forrest Whittaker character was right. Everything that went wrong with the experiment can be traced back to Travis (Adrien's character).
