But the problem with the real life study, that wasn't explored in this movie, is that the sample size used for this experiment is too small for extrapolation and the fact that the experiment ended up using mostly white males from similar backgrounds. He does not care about the fact that the inmates themselves might break under pressure, it's all meant to help get him his results. He encourages humiliation, degradation, depersonalization, stripping away the inmates' individuality, among many other things. Zimbardo is portrayed as a man who will let just about anything happens as long as he is able to see this experiment through. Zimbardo, the man behind this experiment, was unable to maintain separation from this and how he, whether directly or indirectly, helped influence the actions of the guards under his 'command', as it were. #THE EXPERIMENT 2010 IMDB MOVIE#One of the many things that I liked about this movie is that, unlike the others I mentioned, this film takes a measured look at the people in charge of the experiment and how Dr. It gets to the point where the prisoners actually start to talk about their parole as if it was a real thing and this wasn't just an experiment that they could, literally, quit at any time they wished necessary. Even with the fact that you don't get to see the guards get their comeuppance after their escalating psychological abuse and degradation of the prisoners, the film is still a fascinating exploration of power, abuse of authority and how, at a point when they're broken down emotionally, the prisoners just sort of accept their lot in life. I know this film wasn't gonna have any of that, since the experiment itself was terminated almost a week after it started (out of an original two-weeks assigned for it). So it makes for a more satisfying narrative in that these people, who take their pretend authority way too seriously, get their comeuppance during the film's climax. I think the films that are inspired by this event have more freedom in that they can make the guards in the experiment even more detestable and then they can use the fact that the guards keep pushing the prisoners to a point where the only logical response is to violently push back against the oppressors. The former was very good and the latter was good as well, if only a slight notch below the original. Those movies are: Das Experiment (a German flick) and The Experiment, which is a remake of the former. ![]() In fact I've seen two films inspired by this experiment. It's a subject that, to me, has always made for an incredibly subject to explore in films. Ever since I've heard of the Stanford Prison Experiment, it's been several years now, I've been fascinated by it and the results that the psychologists behind the study hoped to attain. Hello to my new Letterboxd 'friends' (I don't have any yet), it's business as usual for Flixster. That's not my goal, though, I've always done this because it's fun for me and not necessarily because I want people to read my shitty reviews. In Letterboxd, much like Twitter, you have the ability to follow people and vice versa, so I may actually end up having followers who read my reviews. I'm not writing a different review for each site, naturally speaking, I'm just gonna copy-paste it. The Leverage team found new blood in Harry Wilson (Wyle), a corporate lawyer looking for redemption after realizing he’d been sitting on the wrong side of the table for his entire career, and in Breanna Casey (Aleyse Shannon), Hardison’s foster sister who has a knack for computers, robotics, and getting into trouble.Starting with the last movie I reviewed (American Violence), all of my reviews will now be simultaneously be posted on Letterboxd as well as on Flixster. It had become easier-and sometimes even legal-for the rich to become richer and the powerful to squash anyone who got in their way. Grifter Sophie Devereaux (Bellman), thief Parker (Riesgraf), hitter Eliot Spencer (Kane), and hacker Alec Hardison (Hodge) watched the world change over the last eight years. In Redemption, the rich and powerful take what they want, and the Leverage team has reunited to take them down. #THE EXPERIMENT 2010 IMDB SERIES#IMDb TV has renewed the popular heist drama series Leverage: Redemption, for a second season.įive-time Emmy nominee Noah Wyle stars in the reimagining of Dean Devlin, John Rogers and Chris Downey’s cult 2008 crime drama series Leverage, along with original series cast members Beth Riesgraf, Gina Bellman, Christian Kane and Aldis Hodge.
