Movie Reviews of The Experiment
Movie Review: Great thriller about human nature
Summary: 5 Stars
I did like this movie because it shows how far people will go for money. This experiment was conducted with men that are of all ages, all walks of life and catagorizing them into groups of guards and prisoners. They wanted to see just how far a "man's mind" can be pushed to the limits within a period of time. The experiment gets out of hand and we see how total power corrupts totally when there is an uprise. I highly recommend this movie to anyone that really likes the psychological affects on humans when they are pushed to the limits kinda horror movie.Movie Review: OLIVER HIRSCHBIEGEL, OPUS 1
Summary: 5 Stars
***** 2001. Directed by Oliver Hirschbiegel. Four German Film Academy awards and three nominations for the European Film awards. Scientists hire twelve volunteers and lock them up in the basement of the building. Six men will play the prisoners and the others the wardens. Soon, the experiment becomes out of control. This fascinating movie will please those of you who liked Peter Brooks' Lord of the Flies - Criterion Collection. Masterpiece.Movie Review: German Cinema is Back!
Summary: 5 Stars
Did it ever leave? What seems like a recent surge of wonderful movies from Germany (Lola Rennt, Der Krieger und die Kaiserin, and Goodbye Lenin) this movie kind of sneaks in under the radar. I had the privilage of seeing this movie as a new release in Heidleberg Germany. I can say honestly that this movie is still a captivating today as it was almost 5 years ago. As a friendly caution, be prepared for wonderfulk suspense that climaxes in some very brutal scenes!Movie Review: The Experiment
Summary: 5 Stars
A frightening movie showing the weaknesses of human beings and the always threatening misuse of power.
Unfortunately the film had a regioncode which is not the region I live in, therefore I could not watch this movie in this version. I finally saw the movie using the movie of a friend of mine.
Apparently the employees are not very keen on looking at the appropriate region codes, which is of utmost inportance selling films and video's.
Movie Review: The movie is required viewing for all corrections personnel
Summary: 5 Stars
One has to wonder if the Abu Gharib scandal participants saw this film prior to their assignment. As in the film, the guards' focus on the power of humiliation as a successful control tactic revealed more than anyone would really want to know about what can and *does* happen in prison settings.
I have also seen Downfall (same director) and am reminded one more time of the depth and breadth of the German filmakers' canon.
