It was a pretty interesting topic, and I agree about the similarities. I remember seeing an interview during class with two of the participants, one guard and one inmate. They both said that it was a very surreal personal transformation ... they had no desire to behave the way they did.... and they wouldn't believe they were capable of such behavior were it not for the video of the experiment ..... Perhaps I'll check out the film as well. I have a whole section of my last semester’s psych book devoted to the prison experiment.
