Who would you rather be?

I watched "The Experiment" today, cudnt help but wonder what role i would be playing if someone else decides it based on my personality.. am i violent? do i believe in a religion?.. what is justice to you?... why are u participating in this experiment??

the movie was ok.. could have been better.. it seemed like it was going for an almost mysterious government secret experiment to be used in the future.. but.. it didn't.. a very small .. news cast.. barely touched why the experiment was done in the end.. that was kind of anti climatic..

but the human experience for me was pretty good.. a man who lives with a verbally abusive mother.. a man who had lived in submission suddenly gets the chance to take charge.. and his eagerness for the power was portrayed very well.. this together with human ability to crack under pressure.. or rise from it was portrayed well too..

i guess the movie tries to capture the basic nature of being a human.. fighting back when cornered, coming together as a pack.. it shows when normal people.. or well how far people who believe they don't deserve something can be pushed.. the final limit.. how a passive man can strike and kill another.. in a matter of days.. i`d recommend it.. to watch it at least once..

  1. yeah ... watched the experiment ...
    really liked the performance ...
    i think adrian brody and forest whitaker are great actors (except that whitaker was in battlefield earth hehe)
    the movie is actually based on true events and on a german movie of the same name ... :)
