A still from the original hit film The Purge starring Ethan Hawke
The gulf between rich and poor; America's culture of violence; freedom pushed to its extreme limits: The Purge: Anarchy may be primarily an action movie hydro flask 16 oz coffee blue sale , but it broaches some highly political themes.


The film, a sequel to the 2013 surprise hit original, follows the same concept: set in the near future, in order to keep crime rates down there is an annual "purge" when for 12 hours all crime is legal, and no emergency aid available.


The first film focused on an attack on a wealthy family for harboring the target of a murderous syndicate. The sequel follows five characters battling to survive a night together on the streets of Los Angeles.


Shot in LA's business district it is more spectacular than last year's The Purge hydro flask 16 oz coffee yellow sale , and is more of an action thriller than the first one, which was essentially a horror flick.


The action of the movie, released Friday in the US, takes place in 2023, the seventh year of the annual "purge."


"So theoretically it starts in two years. It doesn't allow you to distance yourself like in a science fiction film that's farther away in the future hydro flask 16 oz coffee pink sale ," actor Zach Gilford told AFP.


"It makes you think 'God, what if this would happen here and now?'" added Gilford, who plays a motorist left stranded with his wife in a broken down car at the start of the purge.


Los Angeles in 2023 is strikingly similar to Los Angeles in 2014. There are no futuristic gadgets or technology.


"It was a very conscious move by the director," said Gilford. "It's not like a fantasy sci fi where everybody wears costumes."


In a modern US world where shootings are becoming tragically routine, the film's "constitutional right to purge" evokes an extrapolation of the right to bear arms.


"I'm hoping to reflect something in American society about how we look at violence. It's very different than other places in the world hydro flask 20 oz coffee pink sale ," said director James DeMonaco.


Frank Grillo, the main actor, said the "new founding fathers" - who are referred to in the film as a government-like authority - was a play on the founding fathers that is used to justify rights like that to bear arms.


"The new founding fathers - it's a poke to say that the old founding fathers failed us; that the government is not working in taking care of the people," he told AFP. Grillo plays a former soldier who wants to avenge the death of his son but becomes the protector of his four companions in misfortune.


The film also plays on the gap between rich and poor by depicting wealthy families who "buy" people to "purge in the comfort of their own home," while a resistance leader hydro flask 20 oz coffee black sale , Carmelo, calls for the have-nots to take up arms to attack the haves, vowing: "Change will come when their blood spills."


Grillo said the moral of the movie is that "we must take care of each other, otherwise there will be a civil war in the world."


Following the box office success of the first film, this one was made with a budget of $12 million - four times that of the original but still modest in Hollywood terms.


"Everything went into the movie except maybe $8 that went to us hydro flask 20 oz coffee white sale ," joked Grillo, who revealed that the actors will only be paid as a percentage of profits of the film.

BEIJING, Feb.？5 (Xinhuanet) -- The best-selling novel 'Wolf Totem' received wide acclaim since it was published in 2004. Although rights to the novel adaptation were acquired by film corporations ten years ago, the film version of 'Wolf Totem' will finally meet the audience this February.


Set in 1967, ""Wolf Totem"" tells the story of a student sent from the city to the Inner Mongolian steppes. He lives with the nomads, develops a respect for freedom and nature and becomes fascinated with wolves. Both the director and lead actor hydro flask 20 oz coffee red sale , Feng Shaofeng, said the China-France co-production centered on the relationship between human and nature, and taking care of the environment.


""As an actor, it was an amazing journey to me. We were always told that wolves are very savage animals, they are wild and they eat people. But when I stayed with them during the shooting hydro flask 20 oz coffee yellow sale , I find wolves are incredible animals. They are hunters, but they live as a highly disciplined team,"" Feng said.


Rumour has it that famous directors including Peter Jackson were approached at the beginning, but it was Jean-Jacques Annaud, who has made films with animals in the past hydro flask 20 oz coffee mug sale , such as ""Two Brothers"" and ""The Bear,"" that finally took the chair to direct the film.
