i can’t begin to explain how perfect the first purge is

[ballplayersxo]

There’s an actor that looks like Jaylen brown but is 10x hotter. Forgot his name but he’s was in insecure and the first purge movie

you talking about y’ian noel & yeah he’s fine

[zalrb]

Wait Aldis Hodge got demoted!?!?! I mean I agree Chadwick deserves that spot but damn. I think Y’Ian Noel should be above Boyega & Paul is definitely a side piece

Aldis is my love but he did get demoted to three, ylan hasn't been decided on yet, boyega's charisma and online clapbacks keep him at 4

Black Redemption:  what I didn’t like about “The First Purge”

When The First Purge came out I did not know it was an American production. I was in London at the time of its premiere and on the train, I noticed a banner of Y’Ian Noel, an easily recognizable actor from Issa Rae’s Insecure, strapped with a machine gun. Intrigued, I googled his recent films and found “The First Purge”. As a movie lover and rookie movie critic, I found myself dipping into reviews, trying to get any sneak peeks on what the film would entail. Overall, my initial response was that of surprise and glee. I thought to myself, ‘was the Purge finally making up for its absolute lack of diversity in such an extreme way: per an all Black cast of the protagonist?’. I watched the trailer and was convinced I had to see the film in theaters, but it was completely sold out in London. I believe It had been released for a few days when I finally searched for tickets, but within a reasonable traveling distance, not a single theater had a spare seat. That being said,  I realized that Blackness is not just a hot comradery here (in the United States). Black life is something inviting and exciting even a good 12 hours from home. I found myself even more critical because, I realized, how Black people would be represented in this film could possibly serve as a worldwide handbook of how we were doing here in the US.

The storyline takes place on an “Island”, in a city called Staten Island; a highly impoverished, marginalized community. Through bribery and deceit, members from the community commit to being a nationwide experiment to test the success of purging. In other Purge films, the typical rational behind the annual purging is a nationwide indulgence of crime without a repercussion-including murder-in order to lower the crime rate throughout the year. So of course, throughout the film, I am waiting to find the overarching reason why the purge has to begin here; surrounded by Black bodies that aren’t showcased in other series. 

The concept of the film itself was creative. White officials running The First Purge thought the population of choice perfect, expecting the Black civilians to leap at the opportunity to slaughter one another. However, the concept brings into question what the bribery was actually used for? In my opinion, most of the murders throughout the film were pre-contemplative vendettas; gang members seeking to overthrow the head, inner circle plots, and manipulations. I would argue that the bribe only served as a catalyst for Skeletor, an overdone druggie figure with little sense of direction, motive, and who operated purely from impulsivity throughout the film. Skeletor was a character that simply gave the film surprise scares, all while making me cringe. Overall I think he did little for the film's narrative. After all, since his introduction as a sex-crazed, violent junkie, he would simply scare one of the main characters, randomly kill a few of the cast extras, until he is destroyed. He is the literal embodiment of the lowest expectations of Black men-and I wish they would’ve done without him. 

Skeletor was, without a doubt, my least favorite part of the film.
