Forgiveness cause these people aren't cold-hearted killers.

Also, he took her car and told her to run during Purge night. Do you REALLY think old-rich people like that would survive out there? Especially with that anti-Purge militia hunting them all?

So the protagonist didn't want to kill her since she wasn't fighting back. But others will kill her and her husband.

What DBL said.... the woman was old... he told her to run. An old rich clown like that is perfect bait for a purge. And if she survived, it's an eye opener to change the status quo... and unless the blood of the rich is on concrete then nothing will change.

There's often a huge difference between what people say they'd do in a given situation, and what they'd actually do. It's very easy for me to say that without hesitation I'd cut the throat of somebody who threatened my family; however, if the figurative rubber were to actually hit the road, I have no idea if I could actually bring myself to do it.

You, I suspect, are no different.

Are you a parent? As a mom I've got no delusions as to what I'm capable of to protect my children.

I wouldn't hesitate.

Yes, I'm a father. Beat the shyt out of the bad guys to stop them hurting my kids? Absolutely. Murder somebody? No idea. Never done it before, never been trained to do it, so in the heat of the moment... beats me.

You guys should vote for Trump and hopefully the purge will become a reality and you can all kill each other. Maybe then I will be spared having to hear about your *beep* country and watch its terrible movies.

I was hoping Liz would kill her as revenge for killing her boyfriend.

I think most of YOU missed the point of the movie. Didn't you see the end and understand the rather simple message? Killing is wrong, just in case...

[–] c-king112358 7 years ago

A movie that spends an hour and a half glorifying violence and murder has a message about not killing just because of a single choice at the end. Right...

It's a story. One extreme to see the other. Duality... or something like that.

It is not glorying violence, it is showing violence, violence is the villain, the main characters are anti-violence, theres 3.
A movie that glorifies violence that you probably love is called Goodfellas, another one is called Mystic River, both are loved.

''A movie that glorifies violence that you probably love is called Goodfellas''

Hmmmm.... someone really missed the second degree of that outstanding movie.

The Sergeant has good heart, he won't kill someone like that. Its not easy to kill someone like this, she was running away, he took her car and let her meet her fate, I don't she will make it and even if she did, she would never repeat what she did next year, or so I like to think.
