    Can we all agree that it was Charlie's actions that killed his father. Why would you give your kid the passcode to disarm your security system?

    @ScorpioSW Před 2 lety +121

    One thing you have to realize is the guys family have been completely spoiled and have no idea how to handle the reality of the purge which is why they make such idiotic decisions. I don't think the movie is as bad as people say and it paved the way for a really cool and interesting movie concept which has only improved with the sequels.

  • @introgeek5278
    @introgeek5278 Před 2 lety +88

    You should react to Sinister. That was so good with a fuckton of tension
    They hated this one because they didn't do what the sequels did, show the chaos in the city whereas this was just a home invasion and the purge was used as a reason they can't call the cops for help
    The sequels show how everyone who isn’t rich has to survive and they go chaotic so much faster

    Also the purgers that attack the family, the leader is played by Rhys Wakefield and a lot of people think he would make a good Joker because that's kinda how he was acting in this. If you google his name with Joker there's a lot of fan made posters that look pretty good. He delivered some siniter sounding lines during the first interraction, has the creepy smile, even holds the shotgun like the Joker. That group all had masks and you could just swap them out for clown masks. The moment where he pointed his gun behind him at 8:46 and shots the guy is 100% a Joker moment.

  • @rodericklisbon4787
    @rodericklisbon4787 Před 2 lety +24

    Uh man, I disagree! This was a good movie! First of all, this movie is really a question of morality, cause at the beginning of the film, nobody, except the 'Son' had any morals or apathy. If someone needed your help, and they showed up on your porch bloodied and attacked on PURGE night, would you help? That's the moral question posed to the viewer. Now some people might hate this movie, cause for them the answer would be No, and that would be the end of the story. But if you have a conscience, and your answer would be Yes, you enjoyed seeing how the plot plays out from there.
    Secondly, are we really ready to believe these psychos are people of their word? The leader of the group just blew his own friend's brains out! I believe they would've killed the family anyway, just for the inconvenience.
    And finally, consider this, if they had not rescued the Homeless Vet., would their neighbors, been successful in killing them all? The family would have never seen that coming.
    So, I liked the movie! 2 & 3 were even better, but this one was a good one two.

    • @andresf1876
      @andresf1876 Před 2 lety +2

      Idk the plot does come full circle with the homeless helping them but the moral dilemma of saving him or not is such a weird way of judging the stupid decisions in this movie. If they all died because the kid let that one person in then his conscience would be tainted so either way there’s no right or wrong in this scenario.

    • @realSimoneCherie
      @realSimoneCherie Před 2 lety +1

      I agree with the moral question in the premise, but it was poorly written characters and execution…
      You are willing to die for a random guy but won’t take the tape off his mouth?
      He saves all of your lives and you won’t even cut him a check?
      You believe in the “good” of the purge, but don’t have arms in home?

    The worst part is the idea of the purge is just basically devil's night from the crow.

She's trying to rush home, purge is about to start and she's rushing home but doesn't make it in time, gets targeted by purgers, you have a scene where they catch and torture her so we hate the purgers more, she escapes somehow and makes it home but the purgers are following her. Then have a moment where Ethan Hawk is trying to negotiate with the purgers. It fails so he has to go Rambo Last Blood on they asses.
