Actually one of my favorite movies. Didn't do too well in the box office -- but this is a great film!

As to why they did it to him -- that's simply what the game ws all about -- to put this guy through the most harrowing, life-threatening, mind-blowing experiences they could throw at him -- so that he could be blasted out of his normal routine, his normal world view, and to force him to look at life in a radically different way.

As for how they knew he would jump -- well, that's just Hollywood hoo-ha -- but there explanation would be that they did an extreme psychological profile of his mind at the beginning, so they could predict how he wold react in certain situations -- hey figured, "if we do this and this and this to him, he will react by doing this and this and this."

He shot his brother because they had pushed him over the psychological edge.

That's true, his brother did set it up as a b-day present -- but the company who conducts the game does it for a lot of people. In other words, his brother was not pulling the strings, just participating in the whole event.
