Movie Reviews of They Live
Movie Review: John Carpenter saw into the future!
Summary: 5 Stars
This is just like what is happening to us now, only the people controlling us all aren't bug eyed monsters..they are just ugly humans! This movie is awesome, you will enjoy it if you like watching movies about what is really happening in the world today (another good one is "Brazil"). Most people are blind to what is going on in the world today, with new world order politics being snuck into daily living. Just like in the movie, but instead of having to use special glasses to view what is going on, you just need to go online! Especially prophetic is the invisible 'spy' plane type things that are floating around, monitoring people without their knowledge. The military are actually working on cyborg insects that are implanted with tiny cameras. Horray for nano technology! Thankfully there are many heroes out there like Roddy Piper in the movie that are helping to expose these evil bug eyed bilderberg NWO types to the world. Get this movie if you want to be reminded of what is going on right now. And pick up the book 1984 while you are at it! Great flick!!!
Summary of They Live
No Description Available.Genre: Science Fiction
Rating: R
Release Date: 23-SEP-2003
Media Type: DVD
An economic crisis brings unemployed Nada (Roddy Piper) to L.A. in search of work. What he finds instead is that the ruling elite of the world are aliens in disguise, their aim being to keep humans in a state of mindless consumerism. His discovery comes when he dons a pair of special sunglasses made by a resistance group and sees for the first time reality unadorned. Billboards, store signs, magazine covers--all bear subliminal messages to OBEY, to CONSUME, to have NO INDEPENDENT THOUGHT. Money itself says THIS IS YOUR GOD. But worst of all, with these glasses you see which of us are really hideous, bug-eyed aliens. The conceptual breakthrough is hilarious while keeping its roots in darker matters. Although some fault the film for settling into its action plot, the ending has a great payoff. And the direction by John Carpenter is handled with superb workmanlike aplomb. One unforgettable set piece has Piper in a back-alley fistfight with a friend who won't put on the glasses that goes on and on, and just when you think it's over it goes another round. One of the most subversive films ever made in Hollywood, They Live was released on the eve of the 1988 elections. The first TV ads had two hideous alien politicians debating, then one accusing the other of being "No John Kennedy!" --Jim Gay
