The First Purge (2018) feels like the #SnyderCut of Childish Gambino's "This Is America" #Review
What better viewing choice on the 4th of July than the latest instalment in the satirical horror series, one that goes back to the beginning and commemorates the very start of the decline of the land of the so-called free? “The First Purge” sets out to explain just how a society could come to adopt such a monstrous idea in the first place, a question which feels less and less difficult to answer with each passing day...

Those familiar with Brookmyer's books can expect the usual dark, witty, satirical themes. Solid characters, dark comical humour, savage satire. Good plot which reaches a worthy conclusion. My only gripe is that it tends to wander off point, a lot of back story padding. Don't let that put you off if you are a fan of the author though as there is plenty to sink your teeth into.
This is the first book in a trilogy featuring Angelique de Xavia (and my favourite of the three). The other two books are The Sacred Art of Stealing, and A Snowball in Hell respectively.

"I think this is a work of genius. It manages to be utterly hilarious, completely tender and touching, and biting and satirical at the same time. It actually taught me a lot about America. As I saw it shortly after I moved here, I realized that if these type of situations and characters were being parodied then they must actually exist. When the DVD came out, I bought it and I’m still reeling from the number “This Bulging River”. I think the only people I’ve ever geeked out about in an embarrassing way are the people responsible for this film."

The ending (0 more)
Good premise...bad ending.

I really hate when the movie is good and entertaining and then they just RUIN the ending! That's what this movie did. The whole point that they are making is that this social media platform is taking over people's lives and not being as helpful as they were intended and need to be stopped. But in the end, she shows the world that the leaders of the company have secrets and then SHE becomes the leader...making the social media platform bigger and more intrusive.
In my opinion, it is almost more satirical in making a comparison to a modern day "big brother"
