Thoughts before I watched this.
1. This idea is crazy yet truly interesting.
2. I knew about this story, but not in vast detail.
3. I watched The Experiment with Adrien Brody that was based from this and I really enjoyed that one.
4. This one looks to be just as good if not better.
5. It has a wide selection of great young actors!
6. Many have worked together before.
7. I find it a little amusing that Ki Hong Lee has now acted with both the boys from the movie Mud.
8. I haven't seen Kyle Patrick Alvarez's movies yet, but I did hear of C.O.G.
9. This is the first film for writer P.W. Hopsidor.
10. As for Tim Talbott he mostly writes TV like South Park or Medium (vastly different shows).
11. Anyways I have been waiting for this ever since the trailer.
12. I hope it was worth the wait.
"Twenty-four male students out of seventy-five were selected to take on randomly assigned roles of prisoners and guards in a mock prison situated in the basement of the Stanford psychology building."
Thoughts while I watched this.
1. Ah so we see the process of how old time ads were made.
2. It was actually pretty neat.
3. Interesting group of personalities.
4. Haha nah it was a coin toss.
5. Oh we know the rules are going to go out the window.
6. Man he really pulls out all the stops for this experiment.
7. Of course you got the people who aren't going to take this so seriously and the ones who will.
8. Feminize them? Weird choice of words.
9. Interesting very interesting.
10. Oh the conflicts are starting to boil
11. Everyone usually plays around until things get noticeably intense.
12. Michael Angarano is pretty savage here which is awesome!
13. The guards see this as an opportunity to be assholes with seemingly no consequences.
14. Of course the prisoners hate the way they are being treated.
15. Things are starting to get more heated!
16. Oh my that all happened in the course of only one day.
17. Day 2 starts off with a bang!
18. See human nature just can't deal in these situations.
19. Haha Cell 3.
20. I don't think hogtying is legal to do anywhere.
21. They really are pushing lines here.
22. Then again experiments do tend to go off of the expected route.
23. I like the little bits of psychological conversations between the Professor and his group.
24. Oh he got shut down.
25. I don't think that kind of trick works more than once.
26. That was pretty chilling.
27. I like how they incorporate several aspects of prison life into the experiment.
28. That mock parole hearing was pretty intense.
29. Nelsan Ellis is really rocking his role here.
30. That is too funny and yet still pretty twisted.
31. Man this guy has really kept a cool head.
32. That's when things begin to cross the line.
33. Oh man I kind of figured that would be the result.
34. If this lasted the whole two weeks I'm pretty sure there would have been at least one suicide and a riot.
35. The interviews at the end were very telling.
36. The final interview though was really great.
Thoughts after I watched this.
1. That was emotionally draining.
2. After watching this I just needed to sit back and think.
3. It's hard to say what you would do in these situations.
4. For me I would have hoped I did the right thing without crossing any lines.
5. I thought this was very well acted, written, and directed.
6. The psychological aspects here were actually fairly simple to understand at least in my opinion.
7. This was thrilling from beginning to end.
8. The only negative thing for me is that some of the hair looked really fake.
9. I definitely recommend checking this out especially if you have the opportunity.
