The Forever Purge is the fifth installment of The Purge Universe, serving as a direct sequel to The Purge: Election Year. Several years after the events of Election Year, Adela (Ana de la Reguera) and Juan (Tenoch Huerta), a young Mexican couple fleeing a drug cartel, migrate to the United States. That same year, as a result of rising tensions over immigration, the New Founding Fathers are voted back into power, and the Purge is reinstated.Ten months after their migration, Juan is living as a stable boy in the estate of a white Texan family, the Tuckers, consisting of the kindly patriarch, Caleb (Will Patton), his privileged son, Dylan (Josh Lucas), his tomboyish daughter, Harper (Leven Rambin), and Dylan's pregnant wife, Cassie (Cassidy Freeman). Although they all survive the Purge Night, after it ends, it turns out that a significant number of Americans want to continue the Purge, calling this the Forever Purge. Now, Juan and Adela must team up with the Tuckers to fight their way out of America to the Mexican border, struggling through waves of Purgers and terrorists who slowly take over the United States.The film was originally scheduled for a July 2020 release but delayed due to the COVID-19 Pandemic. It was eventually released in theaters on July 2, 2021.

comment
Not-So-Well-Intentioned Extremist: Kirk stands out among the Purgers for being the only one who doesn't exclusively target minorities, instead putting more effort into capturing the Tuckers with the justification that he is righting America's course by killing the rich who refuse to pay their poorer employees more. Despite his agenda being less politically-incorrect on paper, he ultimately is just as despicable as the people he rolls with, especially since Caleb had been nothing but a Benevolent Boss to him, even financially compensating him for the Purge...which Kirk blew on arming his own militia of Purgers.

Gone Horribly Right
 The Forever Purge / int_1994ba0b
comment
Gone Horribly Right: The Purge, while stated in public to be a way to relieve stress, was a sinister plan to get rid of the poor that the government viewed as a drain on resources and to keep the elites in control. This ends up creating more psychos who simply enjoy killing for pleasure and results in thousands of lives senselessly murdered. In the end, the government gets overthrown.

Conditioned to Accept Horror: Just like in the last film, a Mexican person (Adela) mentions to someone that there are places in Mexico where every night is like the Purge. She says it in response to someone asking her if the Purge is what she expected, and she responds in a very matter-of-fact voice. And then subverted when Purge Purifiers come by and she's beyond horrified by seeing that.

Character Development: Dylan Tucker, who starts out as a privileged racist with a low opinion on Mexican immigrants like his family's stable boy, Juan, insisting that "people should stay with their own". Over the course of the film, he ends up having his worldview of a homogenous society shattered, as he realizes just how far some people like him will go to achieve homogeneity, while having to work together with the same Mexican immigrants he disparaged to seek safety. At the end of the film, he has become Fire-Forged Friends with Juan, thanking him in Spanish (a language that he earlier said he did not want his child to grow up in).

Happy Ending Override: In The Purge: Election Year, Roan won the election and her first step was to abolish the Purge. In this movie, however, not only was the Purge ill-adviseably reinstated by a new NFFA nearly a decade after her term ended, but now there are extremists continuing the Purge long after the holiday is over against the new government's wishes. The end reveals that the American government was ultimately overthrown by the Ever After Purgers.

Police Are Useless: Two cops arrest Adela and Darius for thinking they murdered two Ever After Purgers when it was clearly in self-defence, said purgers wearing themed bloody outfits with matching equipment. To compound on this, they insist on ploughing on to the station despite clearly witnessing the chaos going on with dozens of actual cases occuring. Also applies to the military, who put up a decent fight but are ultimately routed, and the government who are overthrown by both Purgers and Anti-Purgers.

Defiant to the End: How Dylan and Harper replied when given a choice (By purgers Elijah and Mother Hardin) to either kill their Mexican friends T.T and Juan, or die together with them. The purgers killed T.T in response and was about to kill the rest of them before the military distracted the purgers, allowing the survivors to escape. They seem to have taken it from Dylan's father, Caleb, whose answer to him and his family being taken captive from the Ever Afters is to point out that they are just bigoted hypocrites, since they captured a well-off family protesting against social inequities, but then support an ideology that actually upholds and promotes that same inequality at the service of the ultra-rich. He gets a bullet to the head because of this. Near the end of the movie, Elihah takes Adela captive and, holding a knife to her throat ordering them to call for helps from the others. What she actually yells in Spanish to kill Elijah.

Dramatically Missing the Point
 The Forever Purge / int_9e9203e1
comment
Dramatically Missing the Point: The idea behind the Purge (based on disgustingly bad psychology and sociology theories and backed up by government propaganda) was that one day of complete freedom would act as a "release valve" so that the rest of the year would be safer. A Purge that lasts forever makes absolutely no sense in that context. Of course, it makes far more sense in the context of purging the world of people you don't like, which was the actual purpose... but it still grew out of control.

Contrasting Sequel Antagonist: Unlike the NFFA, who instituted The Purge out of greed and self benefit, the Ever After Purgers genuinely believe that The Purge helps society, and want it to continue indefinitely. Additionally, the Ever After Purgers appear to be working class purgers who hold an Eat the Rich mentality, while the NFFA were/are ultra-rich plutocrats who created The Purge to Kill the Poor.

Hope Spot: The proper Purge, as sanctioned by the NFFA, ends not even a third into the film, with none of the main characters being impacted. The Tuckers reopen their ranch, Juan and T.T. head back to the Tucker ranch, and Adela goes back to work. Then the TV shows a reporter being killed by a Purger yelling "fake news!", Adela notices that few people arrive back at work, and Dylan glimpses someone sneaking into the horse stable, who ends up taking his family hostage. The Ever After Purge has begun.

Red Herring: During Purge Night, a lot of Dylan Tucker's behavior seems off, especially with how distant he seems from everyone. It's enough that his pregnant wife even notices it. It seems to be trying to hint that he's about to do something horrible during the night, but he doesn't and is one of the protagonists of the film, and his behavior is justified by the stress of the night itself.

comment
Artistic License – Politics: As par for the course for this film series. Is it plausible that in real life a powerful country's government can be overthrown by disorganized rioting in just a few days? Yes. Is it likely? Far from it. For the seemingly less-equipped, disorganized rioters to overthrow the American government, they must first defeat the military and for such a scenario it either requires the military to be severely weakened (civil war or massive all-out war with other foreign countries, etc), or them to side with the rioters. Or that the riot/uprising was actually secretly mass-coordinated by other political parties but out of National Security it would have already been squashed before it can even begin. None of this was suggested in this movie, making it look like that the Ever After Purgers are THAT powerful, although it can possibly be retconned in future movies.
