us in that environment

When watching the movie, I saw a lot of barrages and comments saying "Is this a bit too fast?" "It's only a few days", but in reality this experiment is true. Perhaps in a sense we have too much hope for ourselves. If we were in that environment, if I were a prison guard, it would be hard for me to guarantee that I would not do violence, the word violence might be a little uncomfortable, and in other words, would I take the opportunity to do something bad? Woolen cloth? If I were a prisoner, would I put myself at risk at the expense of others? Relatively speaking, our living environment is very safe, and we cannot predict whether certain aspects of our personality will be stimulated and amplified in extreme situations. My favorite in the film is not the protagonist, but No. 17. I don't even remember his name. He knows how to be patient but not just patient. This is the personality that I admire the most.
