"According to the book, the group has some computer geniuses who hijack random websites to publish the videos. The same way how Hackers Anonymous recently hijacked The United States Sentencing Commission website to revenge the death of Aaron Swartz. "
not the same. they have him online 24/7 with a voting system in place. would be traced in under 5 minutes.
"The cell walls aren't sound proof, because the book describes that Elliott can hear people chattering, phone ringing, and fax machines, etc just beyond the walls. The building however can totally be sound proof though - it looks like a rather large industrial warehouse. "
the larger the complex, the harder to make it soundproof. we are shown the walls, they are not sound proof. it is basic concrete at best.
"Even if Elliott tries to break down walls, he wouldn't have succeeded for a few reasons:
1) lack of strength - he was fed strictly vegetarian meals (thin plain rice soup, per book). At the beginning he was shown to have a belly, towards the end he was skin on bones;
2) he is constantly drugged by pain medication, and always under surveillance. At one point he tried to burn down the place and you know what happened right?
3) watch carefully, at approximately 1:14 into the movie it shows an area of wall with its paint or wall pager peeled off, where silver colored steel-looking (sheet metal?) material is revealed. "
i don't know about the book, but have you seen the ones in the film? you could kick a hole in there with your bare foot.
1) the old cliche of vegetarian meals leading to lack of strength. simply ridiculous.
2) so?
3) sorry, i will not watch this crap again. a) it still leaves the door and b) kick DOWN one wall. this crap was like only 2 meters high. it also leaves the connections of the walls and the connections between walls and doors. this isn't welded and then coated. if they wanted it to be, they should have made it look like that. the walls look like styrofoam. not to speak of the fact that they are like 2 meters high and he could just climb them.
"t's called Stockholm Syndrome or "good cop/bad cop technique". The girl pretends to be friendly & empathetic over all others. It was the only reason the victim didn't go insane after all the loneliness, boredom, despair, and extreme torture sessions. The poor guy really believed she was his only hope and working on his release. There was a moment when he was waving the sock/shower-head weapon to prevent being subdued, but stopped dead when he was about to hit the girl's face. The evil girl actually led him to believe that she was in trouble for "helping" him, so the poor guy worried about her safety in spite of his own ordeal.
"
please lookup "stockholme syndrom". that's not the case here. good cop/bad cop is an interrogation technique, that's all. they did not tray to get any infos out of him. not the case here.
"Oh I think he tried many times to attack or out run the captors who walked into the doors. I think you should try that yourself, after weeks of rice soup and pain killers, with just a pair of shoes and a safety razor.
"
you can bet that i would either be dead or free after the first torture incident.
also, it has been a while since i watched this insult on celluloid. did they really give him painkillers? wow, that would have made the film/book even more idiotic. first they do everything to make the torture as horrible as possible and then they give him facking painkillers????????????? why not also give him a spa and a waterbed?
edit: he hears facking "phones and faxmachines" through the walls?????? that makes it even more ridiculous. it is hard enough to hide your identity through the internet for over 5 minutes, but phone lines????? you know fast they had the cops raiding the building? also, what would they need phones and faxes for????
