BFCD Reviews By Nesha || The Purge Franchise
Welcome, Welcome, Welcome to my experience with my Purge marathon this month, for October purposes. We could glide by the first one, since there is literally one Black woman in it and she’s there for like, a few minutes, or whatever. BUT. Since there were prominent Black female characters elsewhere in the franchise, I decided to just put all of my thoughts into one long post. (Only covered the movies 1-3, because that’s all I watched)
This essentially started whenever I saw this post that asked for POC thoughts on the representation in The Purge. I was already considering reviewing it, but that pretty much was like my little push. Then, I was in the comments or whatever, and just don’t think that I had the time at the moment to really state my thoughts in a comments section, particularly while I was only two movies in. Basically, long story short, if there is ever a story about POC, especially in stories where injustice is a major plot point - if there are characters of color, there need to be writers of color. If there are characters of color and no writers of color... Just know that them white people fucked it up. Sometimes it’s okay, because sometimes, they got a friend of color or something and have watched a few documentaries. Lol. Idk if this man who wrote this franchise know any Black people outside of work. 🤷🏾♀️
And the usual disclaimer, since we back OUTSIDE! You say you outside but you ain’t that outside. I’m outside of my fandoms in this department, and these things tend to bring the fandoms to me because I stepped foot in their things. Disclaimer for somebody who stumbled across this post because of the fandom tags - I am an independent partaker of this content, not “part of the fandom,” and my audience in particular is NOT for everybody. SO: If you may have been criticized in the past for casual racism, tone deafness to Black women’s concerns or accused of misogynoir or antiblackness, leave now. If you don’t like cussing, AAVE, general ratchetness and mean lesbian energy, you too might wanna go. A bitch can be eloquent, but I type like I talk, at times, so it is what it is and I don’t curate for kids, dudes, or nonblacks. That’s just what that is.
The Purge
I initially watched this movie whenever it first was out (more like whenever it was out of the theaters, so not at the very beginning of it’s existence, but pretty dang close). I watched it at my older sister’s house. I wasn’t interested in it. Whenever I heard the premise, I thought it sounded pretty dope, but then I saw Ethan Hawke, and so I was willing to pass. One thing I’ma do is pass on an Ethan Hawke movie without a second thought. So. I didn’t plan on watching it, but my sister put it on at her home one night and that’s her TV, so I wound up seeing the thing.
Wasn’t impressed with the movie, overall. It came out at a time where I was very invested and involved in Black activism and the movie read like someone who had read a few white liberal articles on politics and then made a lil’ movie about the horrors. It felt extremely tone deaf in some areas, and like the point it was trying to make was not being properly communicated.
BUT THEN, I noted that many of the white people I knew personally felt very into it and I decided, “Oh, okay. It was meant for them. It was to communicate things that we already know to these people who have often always been able to live without having to know or think about these things. I’m including this interaction with someone in the fandom, on the post linked above, to clarify:
So. To me, this family read as conservative. They could be moderates. I definitely could see it. They put their flowers out to show that they support the purge, but then whenever it comes down to it, they don’t actually have it in them to support it in full. But. I feel like there are so many conservatives like this as well.
I’m from Texas. Southeast Texas, to be exact. Right by the Gulf of Mexico, right by Louisiana. I have hella conservatives surrounding me who were “nice” people. They love their families, however that looked, and didn’t actually go out to klan rallies or anything, but they support law enforcement and make excuses for these “great institutions” in our nation, and in Texas. Now... They wouldn’t be likely to actually shoot me down dead without a second thought like the police would, but they would support the police force, despite them doing such things. This is how the main family reads, to me.
The writer though? Felt like someone on the other side. The ones who will gladly raise awareness to help the less fortunate, but if they had to do even a step more than that, they would not have the energy. The story read like a person - who puts BLM in their profile, but doesn’t really even know any Black people, much less help them - telling a story about how maybe, under the right (or very wrong) circumstances, their white counterparts could see the light about humanity.
I was glad to see that brotha survive, but beyond that, this was not a movie for me or mine. It isn’t a movie that outside of this marathon I will watch again either. Now, the second one, to me, was more empathetic. It was like if the writer heard feedback and decided to clarify and expound on what message the story was giving, and opened up a doorway to a broader audience.
The Purge: Anarchy
We followed characters around who knew what was up and were just trying to do their best. Instead of following people who were part of the problem like we did in the first movie, we followed people who were more likely to be affected by those in power who were the problem. They even went so far as to cast leads who are biracial Black women as part of the ensemble that we take this journey with.
Yes, like the first one, they’re still shown as targets of the problem, but they also are shown as survivors too, and while there is still an undertone of white saviorism, as there also was in the first movie, it isn’t a cut and dry white savior story. It is a group of people who need help through an impossible life in an unfair world, and how each of them does their best, not only to live, but to look out for their loved ones, and eventually each other. It is really the type of story that I would have wanted from a world like this, and I would have wanted evidence that there were people who could somehow make the best of it all.
Nobody don’t do that like Black people. One of our main identifiers is how we make lemonade out of lemons, so there was good visuals in who they selected to follow through this story and I thought the end was BEAUTIFUL. To see the brotha done not only survived last time, but he done started working to give power to the powerless? Loved that for him. Loved that Our Good Sis nem made sure to have the man’s back who had theirs in the beginning. It was a well told story for such a horrifying state of things.
The Purge: Election Year
I don’t know what happened here...
This movie was not good. At the end of the day, I think that they needed Black people, preferably ones who know about community work, politics, and such to assist them in trying to write these characters.
They gave you more POC in this story... They gave you more access to the ones standing up to the corrupt power system. But, then they sort of sullied it with this idea that to rise up is to be as bad as those who LITERALLY use their power to eradicate you and have the means and malice to do it.
White liberal knucka strikes again with a heavy hand in false equivalencies of an organization that had to be created in order to help and protect the most vulnerable people in these disgusting times with actual white supremacists. The white supremacists were a seen, real, force trying to eliminate the one person who wanted to make changes, from a place of power.
Enter the White Savior Trope that they were flirting with last movie, and amplify that bitch. This movie was so damn annoying with the thought of this white woman being the only hope that the people had, when the brotha had been tearing through the Purge purists’ shit for years. (He finally got him a name this movie too). But, my point is. There is no better way for you to get me to roll my eyes and smack my teeth than to try to paint some white as the only hope, and in THIS particular story, it’s especially heinous, because there was already some hope in the niggas evening the field a little bit by exterminating some of the high profile people and hitting their fancy events.
What this movie did was that, and even worse, they shoved down my THROAT that these negros with guns were just as bad, and somebody in there had the audacity to have the main negro say at one point, “Now, I love Black people, but I’m not letting you shoot these good white folks. These our white folks” while those people were in the process of trying to thwart an operation that could eliminate one of the worst of the purge pushers who had ALREADY tried to kill them PERSONALLY! WHY??? WHO BUT SOME HONKEY OR SOME COON WOULD WRITE THAT AND BE SERIOUS???????????
HUGE. STEP. DOWN. From the trust that they built with me as a Black viewer in the previous movie. I thought perhaps that there might be another increase in awareness and quality, like there was between the first and second movies. There was not. Not for my Black ass. I didn’t even watch it in one sitting, and was ready to end my trek through the franchise. I was that irritated by the complete and utter audacity, in a universe like this, in a situation like this for THAT. What SHOULD have happened, if it wasn’t some white nonsense, was everybody shoulda told that white lady what the brotha was tryna tell her and get the white people to sit down and shut up and get out the way, because come 7:00, THEY were gonna fucking be safe again! EVEN IF this white bitch is the only fucking hope in this universe, what she was gon’ do? Wave a wand and make it so?
These people were supposed to just wait for you to have the right pieces in order to possibly help them, when they KNOW FOR SURE, one of they problems can end, right now today, by blowing this dude brains out? GOOFY. This is goofy. This was the height of too white for me to personally enjoy. Especially because people who tend to say shit like, “Then, you’re no better than them” usually haven’t gone through nothing. This hoe went through the purge. Shit killed her whole family. She was almost assassinated TONIGHT, multiple times, and the minute. THE VERY MINUTE she realized that these people who HELPED HER were going after her opponent, her main focus was how SHE couldn’t win like that. BITCH, THIS IS THESE PEOPLE’S LIVES. FUCK YOUR WIN.
AND, WHO THE FUCK PUT THIS LADY IN CHARGE??? They already have an entire operation that they had to do with not one spec of help from the great white hope, and they have been doing there best and helping people. They have been about it, while she has spoken about it. And then suddenly, folk all gather to crowd and protect her and why is everybody in this movie priority to protect her? This is not my ministry. Hated it, for all of that. Some other POC might have liked it, oh no baby, not my Black ass. I was cussing all they asses out through them shenanigans. Fuckin’ up the church’s money.
“This is no longer an assassination. It’s a rescue mission.” IT COULD BE BOTH! UGH. HATE THIS GODDAMN BULLSHIT. “We can’t be like them.” YOUR LIFE LITERALLY IS NOT GOING TO BE SHIT TOMORROW, LADY, FUCK YOU! And she’s like... getting in his way as they’re tryna move out, talking through him through the door when he has this decision to make. Quite frankly, I think she’s a piece of shit specifically for getting in the way of this group killing that man. She’s just the “lesser of two evils,” who STILL does not have these people’s best interests at heart, and it is not clear if the writer knew this or actually believed in her policies. Judging from the way this story has always read as white liberal bullshit, I think it’s a writer issue, and not that her character is this way on purpose.
AND THEY KILL MY NIGGA! They gave us the optics of the main Black character getting gunned down by Nazis. And the one white hero whose entire mission this movie is to save the white woman is the one we get to see defeat the main Nazi. Who, as I said, had just killed the longest running Black character in the franchise, who only even got a name THIS movie, even though it’s his third appearance in the franchise. The other main negro jump in front of the white woman to give us the Sacrificial Negro Trope that I had a sneaky suspicion would occur in this movie. I just didn’t know which one they was gon’ do it too. But I knew. I felt it in my spirit that this was the type of writer who would employ that representation. Girl, fuck this movie. No lol.
The first hour and a quarter are tolerable, then it just shits itself. I actually went to try to see if there was some shuckin’ & jivin’ ass nigga behind the scenes that for whatever made them think this was okay, but nope - white people were responsible, and it SHOWS. Powered through the last half hour on principle. Don’t know if I wanna continue. There are so many horrific things that I can watch that I will probably love out there.
Not only was this the worst movie in the franchise, but this is one of the worst movies that I have seen recently. I’d advise the Black people with interests similar to mine not to waste your time. I would punch this man in his face for writing this movie, if I could. Whew. Well, niggas and friends... idk if Auntie Nesha will be finishing this franchise, but even if I do, at MOST, I’d do a “Nesha Watches” and liveblog it. This shit got my equilibrium fucked up.

The Purge: Election Year (2016)
So here we have a film that centers on two Presidency candidates. One is the New Founding Fathers candidate - the political side that created the purge - and the other is a woman who thinks the purge should end, and calls it out for being what it really is - a means to control the population by killing off the poor and the sick. In retaliation, the New Founding Fathers declare there is no immunity for political figures, and then send out a team to kill her. The thing I took away from all of this was really that the woman reminded me a lot of Bernie Sanders. And the movement against the purge reminded me a lot of Black Lives Matter. The NFFA, as they’re called in the movie, weren’t a brazen mock up of Trump and Conservatives, but rather all forms of government (although personally I would say that the riots at the end did in fact remind me of Nazi Trump fanboys.)
Rating: C. There’s nothing super great about these movies. They might as well add Transformers to the mix and call it good.

About Candy Girl (Kimmy)
The Candy Girl or Kimmy, played by an American actress Brittany Mirabile, is an eye-catching cameo in a 2016 thriller movie The Purge: Election Year, a sequel to the new successful thriller franchise: The Purge.
In this year's purge, a Presidential candidate named Senator Charlie Roan is targeted by her opponent. Her safety now is up to Leo Barnes, a former police sergeant who's now Roan's head of security.
The audience gets to see the Candy Girl as Kimmy, who seems to be a violent and disturbing child, before the purge begins. She's pissed by the convenience store owner, so she's back to terrorize his place. Unfortunate, she gets gun down along with her friends.

Lions go to town in AFLW win over GWS
AFLW: Highlights: Brisbane Lions v GWS The Lions and Giants clash in round 4 of the AFLW action
The Lions flock around Jordan Membrey after her goal in their thumping win
THE BRISBANE Lions have another Goal of the Year contender and remain unbeaten after crushing Greater Western Sydney by 34 points in the NAB AFL Women’s competition on Saturday.
Click here for full match stats
The Lions won 6.7 (43) to 1.3 (9), but it was the third-quarter magic of midfielder Kaitlyn Ashmore the 3,500 spectators at Brendale’s South Pine Sports Complex will long remember.
After following up her own work twice in the one passage, Ashmore somehow threated the needle with a freakish kick off the ground from deep in the right forward pocket.
It seemed almost impossible, but somehow the ball spun through.
“I saw Sammy (Sam Virgo) running into the square so I tried to kick it to her and it bounced the right way, but I’ll claim it,” a beaming Ashmore said after the match.
“I was secretly thinking ‘please don’t touch it’ – she did the right thing.”
The goal came just seven days after teammate Kate McCarthy took five bounces and ran 80m at the same venue to kick another stunner against Collingwood.
“I honestly think hers is better,” Ashmore said.
“Five bounces and a goal is pretty spectacular, especially because she got the ball before the centre circle.”
Against the Giants though, it was one-way traffic as Ashmore kicked two goals, captain Emma Zielke (12 disposals) controlled the midfield and Sabrina Frederick-Traub (13 touches, six marks and 1.1) was a powerhouse in the forward line and ruck.
They temporarily hold the competition lead, but Adelaide can regain it with a win on Sunday in Fremantle.
The Giants were best served by workaholic Emma Swanson (18 disposals), but after a tight first quarter, struggled to keep pace with their rivals.
Did you see that? Kaitlyn Ashmore, take a bow. In an effort that would have made Adelaide dynamo Eddie Betts proud, the Lions midfielder uncorked a freakish third quarter goal to steal the show. With the ball lying on the turf deep in the right forward pocket, Ashmore soccered off the ground, and with seemingly no daylight available, spun it between the big sticks for a truly memorable goal.
Five minutes of madness It was more like six or seven minutes, but after just one goal in the first half, the Lions opened the floodgates midway through the third term with three quick goals to blow the match open. Sabrina Frederick-Traub started the rush with a quick snap from a stoppage, was followed by a Kate McCarthy goal after good lead-up work by Brittany Gibson and Jess Wuetschner, and then came Ashmore’s magic.
Marquee magic Sabrina Frederick-Traub really stamped herself on this contest. Despite the blustery conditions, the power forward clunked six marks as she roamed between the forward line and ruck. With sidekick Taylah Harris drawing two and three defenders, Frederick-Traub was too much to handle one-on-one. She got the Lions’ momentum rolling in the third term with a clever right-footed snap for goal out of congestion.
Winning formula It’s a simple one for the Lions and it’s now worked four weeks in succession – pressure. They won contested possessions 93-82 and tackles 55-49, but their wave of numbers that reach each contest eventually becomes too much to handle, and that’s exactly what happened to the Giants. The Lions also love to use quick hands close to the contest, and this week it bore fruit with goals to Jordan Membrey and McCarthy from such sequences.
Say what? “We, the coaches, spoke about percentage (in that third quarter). We knew how vital it was with Adelaide and now Melbourne snapping at our heels. Today, getting a 30-odd point victory and opening up the percentage, that’ll definitely help come the end of the season.” – Brisbane Lions coach Craig Starcevich
“I didn’t think we played our best today, but you don’t take anything away from Brisbane, they’re undefeated for a reason – their pressure and intensity was immense.” – GWS coach Tim Schmidt
What’s next? The Lions have a top-of-the-table clash against Adelaide next Saturday night. If you’re a footy fan and live in Adelaide, you’ll want to get to Norwood Oval for the 6.40pm start. The Giants have a short turnaround and will host third-placed Melbourne at Blacktown on Friday night at 5.05pm.
