They Live Obey, Consume, This is your God

Clip from They Live, a classic from 1988. John Carpenter s slow and deliberate immersion of the daunting and worrying fable of the corrupt, deceiving and indifferent economic, social and political society, that has wrapped itself around its people and who in turn have blindly accepted their fate. Multicultural in more forms than anticipated, are the leading and upwardly mobile alien race who have gelled themselves into the Human psyche and exploited it to its full potential. This is the story of an everyman, a no one, a Nada Roddy Piper who stumbles upon their secret, via an underground movement, whose mission is to sabotage their plans and awaken the world to its sinister plans. With the help of a pair of sunglasses, that shows the world as it really is, not in colour, but a black and white parallel world that the subconscious has chosen to ignore. With subliminal messages as OBEY, CONFORM, MARRY AND REPRODUCE, CONSUME, WATCH TELEVISION
