The Stanford Prison Experiment (2015)

This story has more twists and turns than a second-rate soap opera.

A movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.

A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.

The acting in this movie is really good.

I felt very strong digust from the bottom of my heart towards the guards and Zimbardo. Thinking this is the intention of this movie, I think this movie has a very good plot and performance. The plot and actors' performance were strong enough to lead audience's feeling to the right direction.And when I step back and see this story more objectively, it is very clear and easy to figure out that this movie is trying to indicate how ugly and irrational people can behave.I liked the messages behind the story and the emotional transition that this movie led me to have.I wonder if there's any moral standards or guidelines for psychological experiments...

(I don't think I actually reveal a spoiler, but just in case)Highly gripping and something about the 70s visuals as incredibly real looking (I imagine).I have a number of qualms with it, most notably the study leader. An issue others point out. As well as a lack of development or explanation on the guards, especially the 'quiet' ones.Perhaps some of it was due to the 60s just ending, or the selection of the actual participants, but I can say without a doubt that I would have acted very, very, very differently than those selected. For various reasons (experience/knowledge of jail, law, individual rights), mostly liability and that I've had the opportunity to be the only one in large groups to not be brainwashed/convinced I'm wrong.That is really my biggest qualm, I find it very hard to imagine people allowing themselves to be abused so easily and to not physically take control of their lives over the captors. Guards/Warden, etc.I mean, it's 3 guys to a 'cell', which does not have anything besides a cot. No water. No toilet. No tp, it seems. Something as simple as going to the bathroom is not addressed until about 70% of the way through the movie.Anyways, now to experience other media productions, and the real footage!

Intense and gripping, as well as a disturbing look into the human psyche.This psychological drama takes a compelling look into a warped reality experiment. While this would be interesting in fiction, the fact that it is grounded in an actual events raises it to the next level...to an uncomfortable level really.Acting is spot on from both the main cast and supporting cast.Directing is on point.Cinematography is straightforward and well done.Music is appropriate.The story is not only gripping but thought provoking as well.If you are looking for a feel good movie...this ain't it. Not a huge budget blockbuster, just good story telling. Only reason I don't give it a 10 is that while I was engaged in the story, it wasn't especially enjoyable. Free on Netflix, more than worth the time.

Very interesting movie based on actual events.The actors all did their part, and were excellent in their roles, but I felt the direction and pace was a little slow.I also found it interesting that this (The Stanford Prison Experiment) is a case study for Psych students.It would have been nice to explain what effects these results had in today's society.Nevertheless, an enjoyable movie, I recommend to all.8/10 from me!
