hi,

the most important thing in this movie was the end-credit parts interviews, that was awsome.

well i read and saw here many bad critics about the movie.

i'm really wondering if these bad-criticers have see the end credit interviews parts or not. If you miss the last interview in the end-credit, you totally missed the whole movie real story.
i hope the criticers went out at the start of the credits and missed the last interview.

Specially this very important important interview given from the red-shirt-boy-john-wayne (the bad guy in the guards):

spoiler :
the guy just said it understodd his role and played his own experiments.
he wasn't bad, not at all, he was fully consciensous of what he did.
he wanted the others to stand up against him. But they didn't.

That was a inception movie ! an experiment in the experiement !

i am totally estomach by the movie, it was just perfect.
i now have to see a second time the movie to get my whole satisfaction and see the whole perfect movie with consciencious mind of the plot.

absolutely excellent.

John Wayne guard was telling this *beep* just to justify his actions to others and to himself when he realised he went too far. He wasn't acctually conducting his own experiment waiting for somebody to stop him.

No. We saw the prisoners actually stand up to him many times. That should have concluded his personal experiments. Yet, he became more and more brutal. He really was a bad guy.

It'd be interesting to see what he's up to these days.

Sadly for him, actions speak louder than words and justifications.

The sick thing is, if you watch the BBC documentary on Youtube about the experiment is that "John Wayne", years later still shows absolutely no remorse and clings to this line. At the end credits of this movie, they say no one was really harmed psychologically but I wonder.

I thought that too. Did "John Wayne" realize he got off on this type of power and now treats his wife and children brutally? since he got a taste of it? I don't think any of these boys just walked away and shrugged it off.

Totally said just to save his own ass. Look up other interviews he gave. In one he is asked if he ever apologized and he said no and said something along the lines of he didn't feel he needed to because he didn't do anything wrong but played the part he was asked to play. He's a sociopath and let's be honest he enjoyed every minute of it. I've seen the real documentary several times in different psych classes. They use it to teach how not to run an experiment and about the evolution of ethics.

HOW COME NO ONE KICKED HIS ASS AT STANFORD AFTER THE EXPERIMENT?

[–] bunnywithanaxe 8 years ago

I wondered that, too, and would't be surprised if that indeed happened.

[–] bunnywithanaxe 8 years ago

Yeah, that dude was scary.

"John Wayne" (Dave Eshelman) has since said that he deliberately tried to amp up the situation to see what would happen. He also had experience in theater. Because of this, I really question the value of this experiment.

I would also like to know when he said it. I don't question the validity of the experiment--I don't believe it ever had any, and the sadist who ran it should be discredited and shamed into oblivion.

The psychologist who ran it also played the part of the warden who ran the prison, and he had some pretty strong opinions on how the setting would effect how people behaved. I think its very possible he might have influenced the guards unintentionally or intentionally. Playing the part of the warden and running the experiment, he was in a position to influence the subjects to get a certain result.

I've read a couple of articles on it and they are all pretty heavily critical of the study and the conclusions that the psychologist came to. He really slanted the conclusion to fit his own pet theory, downplaying things that didn't fit. Among a lot of other flaws.

A lot of people question it. It's not really used in psychology classes because it was very flawed.
