The Purge 3


The video White Bear from the series Black Mirror will confuse you, make you think, and disturb you all at the same time. Starts off like this girl just woke from a very deep sleep, but she does not remember anything at all. She sees this logo on the T.V. and it starts giving her flashbacks of a little  girl that she thinks is hers.
When she walks outside she sees all these people who will not even acknowledge that she is talking to them all they are doing are videotaping her. Some guy starts chasing her with a gun and she meets this girl who tells her this story about how that logo she saw on the T.V. changed people. It made them weird and now people who are not changed are killing others who did not change. For about ten minutes she is just running around and trying to escape. At this point you are actually cheering for her because you want to see her get back to her daughter. At the end she gets captured and that is where it gets weird. Turns out she is actually in some kind of play in prison. That girl she is seeing in her mind was the girl she videotaped being murdered by her boyfriend. The people videotaping her are just random people that are supposed to videotape her and not say anything. It does not say how many times they have done this, but it made it seem that they do it everyday and it has been at least half of month. I understand you are trying to make her go through what the little girl went through, but I believe that if you just let her rot in prison she will fill awful for the rest of her life instead of doing that play and erasing her mind and doing it the next day. It makes no sense to me, I could understand doing it once and then letting her live with it, but doing it everyday has to be a pain to the actors and for half a day she thinks she is the victim. Just letting her rot in jail would be more effective if you are trying to make her feel guilty in my eyes.

How is just letting her rot in prison going to do any good if she feels no empathy, sympathy or remorse? Do you not feel like she should suffer just like her daughter? There should be a system like this today in today's society.

I agree with Ryan when it comes to the empathy, sympathy and remorepse but we have to remember to Martha it only happens once in her mind. To everyone else it happens to her daily. Even with this I still don't agree with what they are doing to her.
