Interesting!

Rating: 7/10 (12 June 2013)

The Purge is interesting, but not in a bad way! The Purge is an interesting movie with many themes. The storyline is about a family who lives in America and every once a year everything is legal for a 12 hour period. There viewer experiences many themes from the story. 1)Are humans nothing more than animals when all restraints are lifted? 2) People consist of the strong picking on the weak. Rich vs the poor. Neighbors pick on other neighbors when the opportunity arises.3)The idea that the purge cleans society of the unwanted. 4) Violence gets rid of vendettas. 5) The threat of violence keeps people in line because no bad boss or neighbor would live. The theme driven movie is enhanced by great acting, directing and a few interesting plot twists. Personally, I do not believe a lawless day could be viable. The whole city would burn down. I have to watch The Purge a second time to have an opinion. Seven out of ten.
