DAS EXPERIMENT (2001)

[asin: B00009AVA8]
Positive Experience/Entertaining? WOW, was it ever! Incredibly good, powerful, solid, entertaining and very thought provoking.
Technically any good? While I would have done a couple things differently, generally speaking the film is very well put together. The acting is very believable, the story and script are also solid and the music, while intrusive almost everywhere it shows up, was not bad music. I just feel that the film should have been music-free entirely. Also, there are these glasses that have no real purpose, ultimately. Still, for it's incredibly minor flaws, this film is very good.
How did it leave me feeling? Like humans are dark, scary things. It was very interesting to watch these characters (on both sides) descend from civilized people into virtual barbarians. I'd love to see an English-language remake of this film with big Hollywood stars because the story would tear them down so that we'd totally forget that they were stars.
Final Rating? GSN - Go See Now - based on a real life experiment (that didn't go as far, thank God) this film is a powerful cautionary tale that one could easily see as a mirror to our society.
