obey

For some reason, I thought of "Compliance".

Sometimes we can't explain these weak, dark parts of human nature, and even though many people later fall into self-blame and remorse, at the time, they were lambs to be slaughtered.

Or wonder why only that electrical engineer would say no? Just as we scoff at the victims who have been deceived by incomparably inferior deceit, I don't know what the experiment is ultimately pursuing. All these debates, discussions, and discoveries over and over again can't change maybe something hidden in our genes, just It’s like the inexplicable adjustment in the elevator following the direction everyone is standing in the film, but sometimes we blindly do trivial and boring actions, sometimes causing irreparable trauma, just like sending millions of Jews to the gas chambers Eichmann.

Going back to the film itself, it was dull, boring, lacking in climax and impact, and did not have the realism of a documentary. The director tried his best to create a calm and objective perspective to describe the sensational experiment at the time, but instead exploited the character's proper aura, struggle and even. Crazy, Winona Ryder, in addition to constantly showing her old beauty, even smiles so out of place, maybe in the movie, all the actors are showing how they don't "obey" the director. Electric shocks and screams make people feel on pins and needles. After tomorrow, maybe we still can't change our weaknesses.

    Too much documentary mode, it describes the superficial experimental process and moral debate, but fails to extend the discussion of the human nature behind the experiment and the debate, so the significance of the experiment is greater than the significance of the film, whether it is obedience, following the characters or the puppets, they only stay in At the mouth of the protagonist, and human beings are constantly taught to obey authority from birth, is it a specific environment that shapes human nature or has it been shaped from the beginning?

Experimenter quotes

  • Stanley Milgram: There are times when your life resembles a bad movie, but nothing prepares you if your life actually becomes a bad movie.

  • Stanley Milgram: There was a time, I suspect, when men and women could give a fully human response to any situation. When we could be fully absorbed in the world as human beings. But more often, now, people don't get to see the whole situation but only some small part of it. There's a division of labor, and people carry out small, narrow, specialized jobs, and we can't act without some kind of direction from on high. I call this "the agentic state". The individual yields to authority, and in doing so becomes alienated from his own actions.
