The power of this movie comes from human fear of the future

Many people did not understand what this movie is about. In fact, it is very simple, but if you think it through, people in capitalist countries will definitely take a breath!
The director and screenwriter of this play is definitely a genius, and the focus of this movie is not like other movies, the center is on the plot, but the enlightenment given to us by the overall layout and background.
Let us first review the background in the plot. What is the social physique of the United States in the film? That's right! It is the ultimate form of capitalism! An ugly beast finally turned into a man-eating beast after centuries of growth. And what exactly is the role of this National Killing Day? Is it for the poor to kill the rich recklessly? Is it to make people feel at ease with revenge without being punished by the law? neither. From the film, we can see that the black people chased in the first film are homeless people, which is a burden on society, and the hunting team is not targeting the male owner's family. Revenge is definitely not the mainstream game of this festival. In the second part, we can also see that there are almost no other avengers, only a few people who use this opportunity to release their pressure. So why are so many people still playing this game? From the end of the second part, if we are a careful audience, we will find that the truck organization is actually organized by the government, and all the mysteries are revealed at this moment.
In a future where the progressive human labor force is gradually liberated in society, and in a future where the poor are gradually unable to bring value to capitalism and the rich, it is also a future where the poor must rely on the government, and the government depends on the rich. The poor have become a burden and burden for the advancement of society. , The main contradiction of society has become advanced social productivity and the poor who are valueless and let productivity grow negatively. The direction of all the spearheads became more obvious. In such a capitalist future, killing the poor is not only entertainment, but also a responsibility (just like the fashion when the government encourages childbirth and makes pregnant mothers "beautiful" when the population declines). When the rich are the main taxpayers and the poor rely only on humanitarian aid, then this kind of aid has some other flavors in such a capitalist society.

    Better than 1, and the settings are gradually complete. Emma, ​​I really love this idea, it has a great sense of substitution and tension, but unfortunately it has not really been used well. The biggest weakness is the character creation. The screenwriter probably has hatred with women and children. In both films, the women and children are all pig teammates who drag the hard and brave male protagonists back, which is particularly annoying.

    Compared with the first film, the strengths are limited. The screenwriter has a good idea but fails in the details, and there is no big picture.

The Purge: Anarchy quotes

  • Big Daddy: We found your car Sergeant. Your plates told us who you were. It was easy to see where you were headed tonight. Hell, I would've done the same thing. The unwritten Purge rule: don't save lives. Tonight we take lives. We make things manageable. Unfortunately the citizens aren't killing enough. So we supplement it all to keep things balanced. It's important work the NFFA does and we can't have any interference. We can't have heroes... oh no sir... no heroes. I hope you feel cleansed. Blessed be America, a nation reborn.
