How will you celebrate "The Purge"

In celebration of that awful movie coming out today about a society that suspends all laws for one night every year, what will you do when the time comes? I think I'd escape in my boat and find a deserted island somewhere and not be bothered.

So I have one free night to do what ever I want. I bet the neighbour whose family I tried to kill last night will be cool with me the next day. What a retarded movie. Will never see.

The story has potential but early reviews are calling it a typical cliche-riddled thriller. I'll Netflix it when it comes out.

It just is one of those situations when a rather primitive movie (or a book, or an article) can work very efficiently to expose rather complex idiosyncrasies of the society it is targeted at.

In this case, the concept of "suspending all laws and legalizing all crime" refers, obviously, to an idea of an extreme, rabid, anarchistic ultimate freedom. (I'm not a proponent of this sort of freedom, but one can't argue with the fact that freedom it is.)

Meanwhile, people living under indoctrinating regimes are known to have explicitly allergic, explosively negative reaction, when exposed to any novel concepts that differ from what was uploaded into their heads by their handlers. The reaction is not necessarily conscious or rationalized, but it is there. Any movie that refers to any form of true freedom (rabid or not), is bound to trigger a repulsive reaction from majority of people born and raised under the US regime.

In short, true freedom is anti-American. Subconsciously, majority of Americans perceive movies like that as anti-American trolling. This is why, as you said it, "...guys really don't like this movie".

I love how you speak as if all your opinions are facts. Kind of like a forum Jedi mind trick to make people believe what you want.....

Except, he's kind of right. America isn't a free country. It just sells the concept of freedom so well.

Not really.

Firstly, I'm am a mathematician by education. This is a contributing factor that makes me express myself without relying on "weasel words" in my speech. In unprepared listeners this might naturally produce a subconscious feeling of me trying to impose my opinion on them.

Secondly, what I stated in my previous post above is neither an opinion nor a fact. It is an accepted scientific theory, which has already been validated to the point where it can be used for deriving such explanations.
