The Purge - What would you do?

Whatsisname

Upon the release of this film, The Purge..

In the year 2022, the United States is prospering with an unemployment rate at 1% and crime at an all-time low. To keep this prosperity the government creates an annual 12-hour period from the evening of March 21 to the morning of March 22 in which all criminal activity, including murder, becomes legal. During this time, police and hospitals suspend all assistance services and execute citizens who refuse to participate by hanging. This event, known as The Purge, is designed to serve as a catharsis for the American people, giving them a chance to vent all negative emotions however they desire, with the ultimate goal of keeping unemployment and crime at extremely low levels for the rest of the year. During this night of violence and crime, a stranger screaming for help is let into James Sandin's fortified house during their yearly lock down. The family is then forced into conflict between their beliefs of right and wrong, and a sequence of events involving the stranger's pursuers puts the family's chances of survival in danger.

So, what would you do given the chance?

For the first time in ages, this is a film that I'm looking forward to seeing.

I hope it doesn't turn out to be complete rubbish

The Backwards Man

I'd emigrate to somewhere sane.

Ruu

Shake my fist/cane angrily.

I'd get out ma guns and I'd get out my list.

And I'd start ticking things off.


I thought The Purge was a documentary about bulimia when I first heard the title.

At the start of the ad theres a woman saying "The annual Purge has commenced" but she says it really fast and it sounds exactly like she says "Anal Purge". Theres an image for you all.

Frito

Watch a different film. Dam busters probably, or Flaming Lips UFOs At The Zoo.

Holy **** is that Cersei Lannister?

On the other hand I wouldn't do anything. Why should I? No one wants to kill me.

Hammar

Post on boards and ask what to do.

Aoifums

Hide in a fortified room with my laptop, some DVDs and food. Basically my normal routine just in a locked room.

While all the people around you are entitled to do whatever they please with you?? and even if you did decided to rob all around you the people you rob might have a strong chance of finding out it was you who robbed them, so you don't mind them knowing? Even though it's an annual thing and the more years that pass the more you will need to look over your shoulder?

Your either acting the hard man or haven't really thought this true :pac:

Anyway, personally I would fortify myself and all my family with as much protection as possible. Anyone who attempted to get at me or mine I would like to think I would kill.... but as any sensible person would know nobody knows how they would react in crazy situations.

Maybe, but the "Battle Royale" legal team will eat the pair of them without salt

Captain Kirk and Mr. Spock already sorted this out back in the 1960's.

Not pay the property tax

You could make it a really cool annual holiday. Lock yourself in a fortified room with loads of booze, junk food, DVDs and a comely young maiden who isnt repulsed by your flabby, hairy body

pabloh999

Drive 35kmph (like a lunatic) on Dublins quays.

BenShermin

I'd pop down to The Winchester, have a pint, and wait for all of it to blow over.

Other than the legal to kill idea this film really is nothing like either of those films. They're kinda similar to each other in premise but The Purge isn't really at all.

On topic: I'd have sex with a sexy turtle. This anti inter marriage society has repressed me too long.

How about "The Lottery" by Shirley Jackson ?

Teyla Emmagan

I love the sound of this film. How come you can be killed for non participation but
can also barricade yourself in your house though?!

I'd brick it anyway. In a kill or be killed world I probably wouldn't even make it to my bus stop in the morning.

I'd get an abortion.
