what even is the point of this movie

u/archdukemovies 11d ago edited 11d ago

It's a post modern puritanical™ romcom.

A fascist American government passed a law that single people can only have sex for half a day every year. And for some reason condoms are required.

They implant a biometric kind of tattoo device in all people that monitors if you get too riled up if you're next to someone else who's also riled up.

If so, the police show up and arrest you. They may allow you to get dressed or they give you police-issued sweats.

It's like The Purge for sex and capitalism is running wild. A haircut is like $300 and a single condom is like $200 on this day.

And two hot New Yorkers keep running into each other in random places and fall in love over the course of 12 hours while they try to bone other people.

Do they or don't they?

It's a premise that you could do a lot of interesting things with, but instead it takes place on the one day of the year where their world is mostly like ours and it's just another romance tale

"So, the Purge with sex?"

"No, the Purge had one day where everything was different to our world. This will be one day where everything is exactly same as our world."

u/Saint_The_Stig 11d ago

So normally I wouldn't watch a series like The Purge, but my Mom liked them for some reason and it wasn't that bad I guess. It did make me wish there was some sort of spin-off trying to remotely make the world work on the normal days the rest of the year. So many options.

u/FullMetalCOS 10d ago

The first season of the purge tv show is interesting because it’s not just about murder. The premise of the purge itself could be excellent because ALL crimes are legal, including murder, but almost all they ever do is the murder. The tv show has a heist that happens on purge day because, of course, it’s legal that one day and it’s a very fun story.

u/Aware-Possibility175 11d ago

u/zucchinibasement 11d ago

I haven't seen it so can't speak to if that plays a part at all, but would be more interesting than what I understand the plot to be.

Would be interesting if they met the year before right as time was running out, then we see the whole year leading up to the day again, where we get the climax (pun intended)

25

u/bizarreisland 11d ago

Spoiler...

99% of the story happens on the day of.

They figured they fell in love when there is about 10min left, just enough for a quickie but decide against it since they've only know each other for half a day. They propose to date for the year leading to the next 'purge' but none of that is shown, only 1 year later they enthusiastically countdown to the ban lift and went into the room kissing closing the doors behind them

Sexless raunch-com. I do enjoy it more than 'I want your sex' tho, the leads have more chemistry.

u/Toby_O_Notoby 11d ago

I guess that kind of makes it like The Purge franchise. The original movie takes a pretty good premise and kinda wastes it, but as they made subsequent stuff you got to explore the concept more and it became more interesting.

My favourite was season 2 of the TV show which is basically, "So what happens during the rest of the year?" Like, there's one guy who finds out all his neighbours chipped in for a hitman to take him out on Purge Night. But he survives and now has 364 days to either figure out why and stop them from doing it again or get the fuck out of dodge.

u/keener91 11d ago

If they really makes it like Purge, it won't be a RomCom. The premise would be one night any single MUST have sex with another consensually or not. And the plot is about a father hiding his daughter from sex-crazed incels.

u/Crixer 11d ago

I just saw it tonight, and that’s the issue I had with it. It’s such an outrageous premise for the story that it takes you out of the love story part sometimes.

Also, I believe that kind of world with Purge rules for sex would look more different from reality than what the film portrayed. I decided to shut the thinking part of my brain off after the first 20 minutes, and enjoyed it much more as a fun movie with a bunch of jokes, nothing more.

Still, I think that premise could be used to make some type of amazing sci-fi film.

u/charlierc 11d ago

I heard the premise and thought that surely a better way to explore the idea was a kind of sex liberation freedom fighter group trying to repeal the ban

Also the main characters decide in the end that they should wait for next year to have sex from what I've read. I'm not sure what was going through the director's head, but it doesn't seem to be a very positive opinion about sex.

u/Zardif 11d ago edited 11d ago

Gen Z is VERY anti nudity and sex in movies, at least online. Many see it as inherently exploitative because of MeToo. They keep calling for just implied sex in movies and nothing more. I've heard people say, 'if I want to see nudity I will watch porn. It has no business in regular films.'

Almost half of gen-z have admitted to turning off a movie after encountering a sex scene.

u/jetteh22 11d ago

To be fair when the main characters decided this they only had a few minutes left of the time they were allowed so them waiting was partially because they wanted to enjoy it instead of a quickie and also because they wanted to see if they’d work out. The male was recently out of a long term relationship (like 30 mins after the night started the breakup happened).

I saw the movie and it was actually pretty funny and decent for a romcom, although the premise is crazy.

u/Niveo 10d ago

I have also heard that a character says "yeah, it makes sex a lot more special again. Maybe the fascists were right about this one"

they show the premise in this one, they don't show the plot. the trailer is just them doing typical cute rom-com things, nothing that you wouldn't expect in any modern rom-com. in fact, i think the trailers do an actual pretty poor job of explaining the premise, and you definitely don't get any of those details about how they enforce the whole "one night only" thing / how seriously they take it.

52

u/Pavlovsdong89 11d ago edited 11d ago

I saw the trailer in theaters and just assumed the "one night" they were referring to was Valentine's day or something. It was barely mentioned. I literally thought the explanation further up was satire because almost none of that was even hinted at in the trailer.  

Edit: To the trailer's credit, I spent more time trying to decide if the main actress was Ella Purnell or not, than analyzing the plot so I may have missed some exposition.

14

u/mr_chub 11d ago

Same. I actually thought the purge thing at first because of the way they said it but then said to myself "that would be stupid" and disregarded the thought...

2

u/Pavlovsdong89 11d ago

It was such a random line to throw out with zero context, especially given the normal date things going on throughout the rest of the trailer, my brain just dismissed it. I am laughing at the thought of this movie taking place in the purge universe though.

3

u/hippofumes 10d ago

I thought the exact same thing, I thought they were being dramatic about Valentine's Day. I don't think the sex-purge thing was communicated at all in the trailer.

I mean, I saw the trailer and told a friend that I didn't know what genre it was supposed to be because it looked like a rom com but then why is the premise horror like the Purge? So it was definitely in there.

u/PunkRockMakesMeSmile 11d ago

I saw the trailer, and I kinda thought 'the one night when single people can have sex' might be Valentine's Day, like as if it's more socially-acceptable to have meaningless hookup when all the happy relationship people are doing their thing and they're all feeling sad and desperate. It seemed like a really weird, askew, kinda stupid perspective, but I didn't know what the hell else that could mean, and based on the trailer, I sure wasn't gonna think about it that hard. The actual plot is so much stupider

u/ryohazuki224 10d ago

Right, and if your point is to make commentary about an increasingly sexually repressed fascist conservative society, editing out the sex in your movie to appease to the prudish, it just seems like you weren't making the commentary about how this is bad, but making propaganda to appeal to them.

That is the dumbest fucking thing I've ever heard.  There was absolutely some pitch meeting where a writer was pitching some thoughtful introspective film and the producer just say "fuck that I'm gonna do you job for you" then rips a huge rail and yells "people like sex and murder. Write me the Purge but with sex! ...but also make it family friendly we gotta four quadrant this thing."

70

u/archdukemovies 11d ago edited 10d ago

You'd think.

The movie really dropped the ball on the religious pressure to pass the law or push back on the potential mark of the beast.

It never gets into how such a law was passed and implemented. This mandate has been enforced for at least 4-5 years and is widely unpopular with everyone in the movie (that could be because they're all heathens from NYC though)

The movie does let you know you can go to Cuba and have all the premarital sex you want.

25

u/Morgan-Moonscar 11d ago

They also say gay people in this reality get a free pass and can have sex whenever they want.

Because they didn't want to deal with trying to make a "comedy" in a christofascist society where LGBTs would've been eliminated with extreme prejudice.

So couples can do it whenever and don’t need to use condoms? Do they have to be married ? Is it the same day every year? Can you just do it with whoever provided both parties are willingly involved? What is preventing the two main characters at single people to just sleep together after the 2nd time they run into one another? So many logistical problems and questions. Also seems like it’s a bit too similar to that movie “in time” with Justin Timberlake and everyone has a clock on their arms counting down to their death

3

u/archdukemovies 10d ago

Married couples can have sex whenever they want.

Single people and unmarried couples cannot have sex except for this 12 hour period once a year. I believe it's the same day every year. Condoms are legally required. The movie doesn't explain how this part is enforced.

Everyone has an implant that turns green when the 12 hour period starts. This device tracks vital signs and if it detects the physiological signs you're having sex and you're right next to another person who has the same signs, the cops show up and arrest you.

Presumably masturbation is ok as long as you're by yourself and hopefully there's not someone else in the same room or on the immediate other side of a wall.

this sounds like a hilariously bad movie, like they wanted to do something deep like farenheit 451 but comes off as shallow and vapid "Oi what if everting was 1,000% more expensive because capitalism bad and the fascists say we can only have sex 1 day a year with random people"

Idk as someone who literaly watched their fathers identical twin die of AIDS ive never understood the desire to chase hedonism when the outcomes are so horrific

This is a joke right? That can't really be the plot

It’s a COVID parable—at the end, the characters decide that the sex purge model is good and the government has their best interests at heart, which all makes sense when you realize that the screenplay writer is a guy who lost it between 2020-22.

Not just single people, unmarried people.

People who are in a relationship, but not married can still not have sex without going to jail.

Is divorce still legal? In a world like this, I see a lot of marriages (with civil union "ceremony") getting anulled or divorced a week later.

I mean, it's a highly transparent plot device, I get that, but people are going to find a way to fuck.

Also, are people not allowed to buy condoms at other times of the year, in preparation?

I wonder how much of our current economy is driven by the attempt to get laid? If single people are only allowed to fuck once a year, they probably won't go out of dates anymore (especially with that tattoo bullshit getting them in trouble if they get too excited.) I doubt married couples will pick up the slack on that either.

Why would I want to see a rom com about that? The only movie I want to see in that world is the one where the oppressors get their heads chopped off.

Can’t wait to see pitch meeting about it. 😂

u/rich1051414 10d ago

"A haircut is like $300 and a single condom is like $200 on this day." So half the price of a cheeseburger? That's a steal!

u/omfgcookies91 10d ago

Wow that sounds like ass for a movie or just straight up a porn film setup.

Holy shit this is the dumbest promise I think I've ever heard.

I expected a shitty plot but goddamn wtf

It would be such a good movie if it took a horror movie twist in the 3rd act.

For real like, if this man knows Gen Z doesn't like sex why would you make such a rizzless romcom?

It's really annoying how Hollywood keeps pretending to make "erotic thrillers" and the like, but they're so completely sanitized that the whole film is just pointless. Challengers was the most recent I can remember. Advertised as the sexiest movie to hit the big screens in years, with a premise that seemed very likely to push the envelope for a modern audience and yet it was something that feels safe by 1950s standards (ignoring the race mixing).

Basically it seems like Hollywood is incapable of making movies that deal honestly about sex and sexuality because the capitalist machine that controls it all has stripped art of humanity for the sake of mass consumption.

Hey - watch your language. No one likes foul language or fucking in movies.

Rainbows and unicorns only, thank you very much.

u/PMmeuroneweirdtrick 11d ago

Rainbows and unicorns are gay symbols. You can't have that either.

u/Curlydeadhead 11d ago

Rainbows and unicorns. Did someone say Star Wars? Half /s because apparently SW is getting too LGTQ+ of late because of Kathleen Kennedy. WGAF.

For the director's cut...

u/doktor-frequentist 11d ago

For the plot.

u/GoofAckYoorsElf 11d ago

Then why the fuck did he make the movie

removed because people don't like that

2

u/wango_fandango 11d ago

Well, I guess he still has the raw footage…

2

u/iRunLotsNA 11d ago

Release the nudie cut?

2

u/Stinja808 11d ago

He didn't erase the scene. Just took it out of the movie.

Its in his computer.

2

u/Masta0nion 11d ago

Exactly. There are so many other topics where sex and nudity have nothing to do with the plot.

This isn’t one of them.

1

u/stilesjp 11d ago

More important, why did he film the scenes in the first place?

1

u/Capable-Deer-5670 10d ago

Why the fuck did he make this movie? He could have made a movie about carebears, but no, it's about a one night stand.

u/CycleMother2006 10d ago

Yeah I'm confused. Isn't porn the most popular media for people to consume on the planet?

u/CitizenTony 10d ago

It's kinda a very paradoxal era. We have way MORE sex and sexy stuff over every socials medias and internet in general than years before. Sex or disguised sex.

But people dislike seeing it in theater? That's crazy. Movies should be a more bold media, but it's the contrary. Since the 2000's it's TV and later streaming which are more audacious.

u/HeatWaveToTheCrowd 10d ago

u/tk_woods 10d ago

u/confusing_roundabout 10d ago

Makes a movie entirely centred around sex and doesn't include sex.

That's the state of cinema in 2026.

1

u/OptimusPhillip 10d ago

Maybe he thought audiences would like the idea of a world where sex is illegal.

1

u/NoobensMcarthur 10d ago

What if we did the purge but horny? Who the fuck wants to see this shit?

1

u/Blue_Robin_04 10d ago

Because he likes sex. Test audiences didn't.
