![]() Such a powerful concept…īased on an experiment conducted in 1971, the Stanford Prison Experiment. Which needless to say, it wouldn’t happen.Arghhh. I dare to say it wasn’t their fault entirely and I wish the higher culprits would be brought to justice. You’ll see in the documentary people changing just because they are exposed to a twisted system, and sometimes is easier to move along on the path of minimum resistance than speaking up. I find fascinating how the academic experiment is actually observed in real life: Standard Operating Procedure (2008), a documentary on the Abu Ghraib incident. The German version is even more faithful to the original story including the reasons for the termination of the experiment.Įven if you would expect this behavior from people, I could not imagine it would be exhibited so fast and things would spiral so fast out of control. Leaving the movie apart, it is far more interesting to know this is based on real facts, and although hard to believe, the actual experiment went exactly on the same timeline with the movie. You mean “the experiment”? Brody did good but the movie itself wasn’t big deal… When it comes to movie viewers though, I think a few get cheated as they’ll never get to see the real deal as it get’s buried under the new shiny merchandise. The movie anyway will earn big bucks, the business is rolling and the business is good. What can go wrong, worst case scenario? Economically nothing goes wrong. Then why not take a good movie and localize it for US so people don’t have to listed to foreign languages and empathize with foreigners. To me is quite simple: you need an idea with a lot of potential and ideally already proven successful. I was discussing with a friend the other day why is they copy cat phenomenon happening. ![]() The guys tried but I could not connect with them… Adrien Brody delivered a first hand acting, the movie is packaged extremely well, polished to the max, but overall it didn’t work out for me. ![]() Don’t ask why: just enjoy the bloody show. Pretty much typical for the american version to start on the basis that the experiment goes wrong. ![]() Personally I still think the original is the best as not only being more realistic, but it does show as well what happens on the other side of the camera. And of course I went to see the american version. The german version of the movie was my favorite for many years now. ![]()
