Title: Question about the first Purge movie? Post by: Living_Dead_Girl on April 20, 2015, 09:49:07 AM Okay well I was watching the purge with some friends off mine, and one friend off mine in particular, who had never seen the movie the purge, (But had seen the second one, Anarchy) And we were watching the very start and he pointed out that the footage they showed at this point, was real, this was all real footage off real killings, I am not sure if he is legit when he says this. And I tried googling this, But nothing. So I am wondering if anyone from this forum knew? An off question I know. But my mate also pointed out with the footage at the start. Some were fake he said the ones saying "Purge feed" Were fake. This question might provoke an interesting discussion.

Couldn't find anything about it online though, all the headlines I could find all seemed to refer to either fake stories about purges really happening or threats of them being carried out.

I want to say I've seen some of it before on the news. But I'm not 100% sure on that. What I'm thinking I've seen though is some of the riot footage. Title: Re: Question about the first Purge movie?

The Purge Opening Scene ([url]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r0lcdgDCytA#ws[/url]) I want to say I've seen some of it before on the news. But I'm not 100% sure on that. What I'm thinking I've seen though is some of the riot footage. I think they showed riots and people being legit injured. But I am not sure about legit killings. I am sure if not head lines being made their would off been legal issues showing that footage without the permission off those in the footage or... Their friends and family. So obviously they would off needed to ask permission. And possibly for the sake off these individual they would not off outright said "Hey look, people getting killed here!" I mean we know how controversial faces off death still is to this day, decades latter. And the director still gets threatened and sued a lot, by the friends and family members off the people in those movies were killed. However, the creators off faces off death did outright announce "Real Deaths, Real people" etc. The Purge have obviously not outright said. "the start has real deaths" So they would get away with it. However if true I got take my hat off to them. That was a very genius way off making their point about human nature being violent. In a way hinting that the Purge could happen. |
