Only thing I can think of is that possibly he participated in such an experiment or was a part of something similar?

Or he was in a hardcore fraternity. This experiment was basically hell week.

Bump

This movie is so disturbing

John Wayne was the best character

Hard to imagine this being real but apparently it was JC

Along the same lines is another good film, Die Welle (the Wave)...which involves a high school experiment.

The movie is German but the story is from a high school class experiment in California in the 1960's.

The Third Wave was an experimental social movement created by California high school history teacher Ron Jones to explain how the German population could accept the actions of the Nazi regime during the Second World War.

While he taught his students about Nazi Germany during his "Contemporary World History" class, Jones found it difficult to explain how the German people could accept the actions of the Nazis, and decided to create a social movement as a demonstration of the appeal of fascism. Over the course of five days, Jones conducted a series of exercises in his classroom emphasizing discipline and community, intended to model certain characteristics of the Nazi movement.

As the movement grew outside his class and began to number in the hundreds, Jones began to feel that the movement had spiraled out of control. He convinced the students to attend a rally where he claimed the announcement of a Third Wave presidential candidate would be televised. Upon their arrival, the students were presented with a blank channel. Jones told his students of the true nature of the movement as an experiment in fascism, and presented to them a short film discussing the actions of Nazi Germany.
