Stanford Prison Experiment Movie

[Clyde]

I was checking to see what Mariemont Theater has on tap and came across a movie about a study that Stanford did in the 70s which has been turned into a movie.

 

Looks interesting.

Crap on a Cracker that looks intense. Interesting to say the least.

Wow. I don't know if I could watch that movie.

When I check it out it will be solo. Zero chance Mrs Clyde will watch this. Too dark for her.

Looks pretty interesting.

I wouldn't be interested in the movie, but that 8 page synopsis of the event was bone-chilling.

We discussed this experiment in psychology class in college. It really messed some people up and showed just how "evil" some could actually become.

The fallout from it has been pretty interesting too. It's been widely criticized as both unethical and poorly designed. There's a debate about whether it should be taught at all or only taught as an example of a problematic study.

I think there is no question that it got away from them and quickly. That can't be debated.

I'm trying to find a podcast I listened to a while back where they tracked down one of the guys in the experiment. He worked at an insurance company with a German-sounding name. I'm losing my mind that I can't find it. Maybe I dreamt it. :lol2:

This is at least the second or third movie about this movie. I feel like they do it every 10-15 years for the new college students.

 

Wasn't Forrest Whitaker in one of them?

They may not have titled it the same but that's what it was. Forest Whitaker was in a 2010 movie titled The Experiment.
