The First Purge movie: reel or "all too real"?

[SteyrAUG]

He says it "addresses the current political and social climate."

I'm asking: Are they in fact using the film series to foment a rebellion or at the very least, unrest?

In other words, it's not just satire or political film-making; it's actually trying to incite sedition.

The Weather Underground declared actual war on the US and everyone in it and tried their best to make it happen.

A film doesn't even come close to what we've already been through, especially a crappy, stupid film. The writings of Karl Marx are more dangerous.

I read and shake my head, the same way I do when when I hear people wonder aloud how the Nazis were ever allowed to rise to power in a civilized country. I tell them that regular citizens stood by and allowed it to happen, voted for it to happen and mindlessly pledged their allegiance to it because it made them "feel" like they were making their nation and their future better. And this tom foolery, a complete 180 from what I was taught in school regarding 1st amendment rights is only the beginning. Socialists have pretty much failed thus far to produce a single standing functional example of their political desires but theyve got nearly 100 years experience at wrecking nations and futures. Death to them all.

I know not what lurks in the hearts of men but the film maker, or at least the original film's had an agenda no doubt. In an interview I watched of him back then he said that he thinks American gun owners (you, me, etc.) ARE the purge and that we just go around killing everyone we feel like and hide behind the NRA, Castle Doctrine, Stand-Your-Ground, etc.

Doc (like your new name change btw) copy and paste CIA Infulence in Hollywood into a search engine and check out the results.

Seen that a few months ago. There is a list on the net somewhere of all the movies in which the Pentagon had a major influence. Some of them are downright head-scratching.

But this time will be different. Those last 100 years of failed states weren’t *true* socialism.

I hear this time and again, more times since Obama was elected than when I was in poly sci in college. Usually I take it with a grain of salt since the most vocal elements are the bartenders, servers and unemployed film industy types who are waiting for the next film gig. What is really making me uneasy, though, are the well educated and rather financially stable people who got their hearts broken when Hillary got Trumped (I can't resist saying that!!). It's the total disconnect from common sense that gets me, and I'm afraid these guillable minds are already well-conditioned to vote for their communist in sheep's clothing come 2020.

I've never seen a single Purge movie (thankfully).

Seen parts of it, but if I was to watch a fictional movie I might as well watch Die Hard or Dark Knight.

12-24hrs of Free Crime spree is just too wild of an idea that completely ignores the consequences of what happens after. So If you kill children, cops, politicians, etc, the day after the purge its all good??? There would be chaos.

I recommend you see the movies. I can't call them necessarily "entertaining." It's more like watching Nazi propaganda films from the 1930's. I very definitely see these films as an attempt to "educate" the have-nots into overthrowing the "haves".

You know, I never sat down and watch an entire "Purge" movie, but I've seen parts of them. Thinking about the content and actors I do believe you are correct.

When I have nothing better to do with my time, I'll take a peek at one. It just never interested me. I'd rather watch GI Joe or RE movies, at least you get a nice view of firearms in those.
