So...
I’ve been thinking about reflecting on The Purge films that I’ve seen and basically writing about them as they relate to the world that produced them.
How qualified am I to do that? Not very.
I believe this could be an interesting exercise for me. I would like to do something other than navel-gazing and quick angry political rants.
Obviously, there has been a lot of commentary on these movies by people that likely possess more insight than me.
I’ve seen The Purge: Anarchy and The Purge: Election Year so far. At first, these movies kinda repulsed me. However, the near-future world of these movies started to intrigue me. I believe there is kind of a clumsy sort of wokeness in these films that is worth exploring.
As far as cinematic universes go, this is one of the more intriguing ones to me.
