Sinopses(1)
What happens when a college psych study goes shockingly wrong? In this tense, psychological thriller based on the notorious true story, Billy Crudup stars as Stanford University professor Dr. Philip Zimbardo, who, in 1971, cast 24 student volunteers as prisoners and guards in a simulated jail to examine the source of abusive behavior in the prison system. The results astonished the world, as participants went from middle-class undergrads to drunk-with-power sadists and submissive victims in just a few days. Winner of two awards at the Sundance Film Festival, including Best Screenplay, and created with the close participation of Dr. Zimbardo himself, 'The Stanford Prison Experiment' is a chilling, edge-of-your-seat thriller about the dark side of power and the effects of imprisonment.

I was quite worried that the experiment wouldn't be very believable, but the creators managed it very well, just as they excellently captured the motivations of each character. In the end, though, you wonder if there was any deeper meaning to it all. And it didn't, just like some experiments sometimes don't.

O argumento excelente segue com precisão a tensão crescente e a gravidade dos acontecimentos dos pontos de vista de todos os participantes - a humilhação dos «prisioneiros» a sofrer, o abuso de poder pelos guardas e os observadores, ou organizadores da experiência, repletos de remorsos. No momento certo, um elemento feminino, mais empático, entra em cena e descreve a situação da forma mais humana e precisa. A realização e a atuação também estão muito bem-feitas, com Billy Crudup a brilhar. Um filme melhor do que eu esperava, praticamente sem nenhum ponto fraco.

Very good, if a bit corny because of the competition, but I never get tired of prison themes. Highly disturbing, impressive acting, psychologically challenging and not boring. Too bad there wasn't some significant physical violence (they probably had to stick to the source material). If the last half hour had turned into a gritty torture flick, we'd have this year's king, but still, 80% satisfaction.
