Rosie D. @Rosieeeee Apr 20 The whole point of Zimbardo’s real-life experiment was to show how 'ordinary' people succumb to extreme environments, but this film sacrifices that nuance for cheap cinematic thrills. It’s far too over-dramatized to carry any real psychological weight. Everything just feels so scripted and artificial. The characters are tropes rather than real normal people, and the theatricality of it all undermines the actual message. It’s a classic case of a movie being too 'Hollywood' for its own good.

Doesn't shock or surpise or offer any twists. It's basic. See more Ann O @RT61592518 10/23/2024 When reality is blinded by a veil, and how quickly that veil can come down.

Onde você pega pessoas totalmente introvertidas e se tornar no pior do ser humano. Pegar os que já tem propicio a brutalidade e pontencializar isso. Pegar aquele que busca a paz, um mundo zen e se colocar como um dos lideres com sua rebeldia e insitar os outros. Humanos perdendo sua humanidade. Até que ponto conseguimos controlar nossos instintos. E como é dar o poder ao ser humano pode mudar. Um filme de grande reflexão em relação ao comportamento humano. Um filme que serve para cursos de comportamento humano. Uma ótima atuação Adrien, Forest e os outros. Um filme inteligente e bem feito. Parabéns. Roteiro: Muito bem feito Vale apena assistir? Com certeza Nota: 8,5 See more sarah s @Sarah_Sanity 01/16/2021 Acting on point. Immediate jump into the plot and decent pacing. Forrest Whittaker (Barris) is terrifying but…the transition of power from "Officer Chase" didn't make any sense and happened without explanation, like halfway through filming they realised Chase wasn't badass enough when he was instigating violence and wrote it differently (lol.) Commentary through action on the prison system, psychology of humans, the mental decline in solitary confinement and also how short the time is before humans descend into a dog-eat-dog world when left to their own moral compass and no accountability. All of is done rather shallowly but well enough that it resonates via the story, however doesn't go deep into these things when they're raised individually. It does suit the pace and the genre so it's still effective. Would have liked a more satisfying ending as it's like an arthouse, weird ending where you walk out of the cinema and are supposed to think about your life while scratching your head.
