The Purge: Anarchy
"On the night of the annual Purge, a man sets out to exact vengeance on the man who killed his son, but becomes compelled to assist a mother and daughter who were taken from their home, along with a couple who were left stranded on the highway, to help them survive the night."
Usually I avoid trailers because often they contain spoilers but I couldn't resist. Didn't notice any spoilers at first sight but the suprise effect is kinda gone when you watch the trailers, so be warned! Trailer 1: The couple stranded on the highway http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yaoh3PqHG7I Trailer 2: The man out for vengeance http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XzFCDqKE4yA I'm starting to think they made the first one a home invasion movie so they could use the profit for what they actually wanted to do. I'm looking forward to this! |
Debate
I have a burning question about this film to pose to you folks:
Would you participate in the Purge? What are your thoughts on this concept? Would you go into lock-down or would you be out there with a machete hunting down your old dentist? I think this movie raises some very cool questions about ethics and human rights. I am curious as to what others think. |

Haha! That's fair enough. But the point of the movie, is that it becomes a societal "norm" and completely legal to commit murder on that day. You wouldn't be deemed a "lunatic" for participating in an event that had become socially acceptable. That's what I like most about the films. The fact that "ordinary" everyday people can tap into their darker side and take their vengeance out on those around them. No one is innocent nor guilty. If you had NO repercussions for your actions, you still wouldn't "purge"? Maybe it's because of an attachment to the moral idea of taking a life being 'wrong'? Maybe it's out of fear of being killed off? This is what fuels my question!

I would start a Purge Rave Party concept and trademark it.
The Purge Rave will take place in a secure location, all kinds of drugs will be for sale in the open and all profits will go to the Baron Von Marlon charity ::cool:: |

That would lead to more profits and bigger movies about bigger purges. Titles like Pedo Slayer and Rapist Massacre come to mind. Small note: everything would be directed from my cosy secure mansion/workplace in a safe country where there's no Purge. |

I like the titles ::big grin:: Quote:
It has been known for centuries that many people turn savage and brutal when survival and revenge are at stake. |

[QUOTE=Baron Von Marlon;981246]I might use some profits to make movies involving purgers during the purge.
That would lead to more profits and bigger movies about bigger purges. Titles like Pedo Slayer and Rapist Massacre come to mind. Hahaha! I would watch both of those films! Tfantasy, I like the idea of hunting down the "bad" seeds of society as well. It's interesting how the film depicts the wealthy as those who barricade themselves indoors or pay big bucks to have private and "safe" purging sessions, where the poor and homeless are left on the streets to fend for themselves. I would like to see a purge film where the "weak" or less-fortunate are given a myriad of weapons and the rich and powerful are 'dethroned' or stripped of power and thrown out into the wild to defend themselves. Thanks for your responses! |
I've watched it and have to say I wasn't that impressed, although it was a huge improvement over the first. I think the problem (I have personally) is that the actual idea of a purge is very, very dark and we all know the lowest people could go to, and to portray this on film would be unmoral. Imagine how the film would have turned out in Korea or Japan!
