"Experimenter"

It feels similar to the approach of The Golden Age, which is more of a narrative by other people.
It is often said that the Chinese have servility, and servility is largely analogous to the surrender of power. But this experiment is based on role-playing. In many cases, we subconsciously know that it is wrong, but it is easy to be driven to continue. At this time, we are confused and lose our minds. With regard to mass psychology, we are mainly oppressed by circumstances. It's easy to be isolated when your behavior is out of the ordinary. Humans are group animals, so in order to join the group, they have to abandon their true thoughts and think that the public is right. Like the emperor's new clothes. I also thought of the power of ideological rule and the powerful effect of brainwashing.

    Good biographical movie. Simple, clear and thought provoking. I am very interested in sociology and psychology, and I think the experiments done by the professor are of practical significance, which is great. The change from the original five-star to four-star is also a manifestation of herd mentality.

    Illusion sets the stage. Deception reveals the truth.

Experimenter quotes

  • Donna Abbott: How do you justify the deception?

    Stanley Milgram: I like to think of it as illusion, not deception. Semantics, you may say, but illusion, you know, has a revelatory function, as in a play. Illusion can set the stage for revelation, to reveal certain difficult-to-get-at truths.

    Donna Abbott: But still, when you go to see a play, you pay for a ticket. You know you're seeing a play. These people didn't know it wasn't real. You tricked them.

    Stanley Milgram: "Hello, today we'll be doing an experiment about blind obedience to malevolent authority. I'd like for you to pretend that this machine is delivering painful shocks to a person in the other room." How truthful do you think that would be?

    Donna Abbott: But if you think of it, really, *you* were delivering shocks to your subjects. Psychological shocks.

  • Stanley Milgram: Less than six degrees of separation exist between you and several million strangers who you may or may not encounter in your lifetime. When we understand the structure of this communication net, we stand to grasp a good deal more about the fabric of society. Maybe it's not necessarily justified, this common human complaint. The feeling that we're all cut off, alienated, and alone. I don't need to go into detail do I?
