Compliance Trailer (Official HD Trailer from Magnolia Pictures)

http://facebook.com/ComplianceOfficial When a police officer tells you to do something, you do it. Right?

Inspired by true events, COMPLIANCE tells the chilling story of just how far one might go to obey a figure of authority. On a particularly busy day at a suburban Ohio fast food joint, high-strung manager Sandra (Ann Dowd (Garden State) receives a phone call from a police officer saying that an employee, a pretty young blonde named Becky (newcomer Dreama Walker) has stolen money from a customer. Convinced she's only doing what's right, Sandra commences the investigation, following step-by-step instructions from the officer at the other end of the line, no matter how invasive they become. As we watch, we ask ourselves two questions: "Why don't they just say no?" and the more troubling, "Am I certain I wouldn't do the same?"

The second feature from director Craig Zobel (the man behind the 2007 Sundance hit Great World of Sound), COMPLIANCE recounts this riveting nightmare in which the line between legality and reason is hauntingly blurred. The cast delivers startlingly authentic performances that make the appalling events unfolding onscreen all the more difficult to watch -- but impossible to turn away from. Delving into the complex psychology of this real-life story, COMPLIANCE proves that sometimes truth really is stranger than fiction.

Why isn't it easy to "just say no...."

Yeah for example, the Milgram experiment. That still sends a chill down my spine every time I watch it.

[Jonathan Crossfield]

Lots of people on this thread talking about how stupid the people were, always question authority etc. But sadly this is a well known behavioural trait we ALL have for compliance and it's got nothing to do with logic or IQ. What we think we would do is absolutely not how we would behave. Scary I know. I read about this case in the book 'You Are Not So Smart' << definitely worth reading! It might look unbelievable when compressed in this trailer but it was hours of psychology at work here.

[Pomme843]

See those buttons at the right-hand side of the bottom of the video player? Can you see the left-most one that looks like a speech bubble? The one that says "Annotations" when you move the mouse pointer over it? Click it.
