a5c7b9f00b Nada, a down-on-his-luck construction worker, discovers a pair of special sunglasses. Wearing them, he is able to see the worldit really is: people being bombarded by media and government with messages like "Stay Asleep", "No Imagination", "Submit to Authority". Even scarier is that he is able to see that some usually normal-looking people are in fact ugly aliens in charge of the massive campaign to keep humans subdued.
The unemployed construction worker George Nada drifts to Los Angeles and finds a job. Nada is a man that believes on the American Dream and expects to have his big chance someday. He befriends the worker Frank Armitage that is a conformist and invites Nada to camp in the homeless settlement where he lives. Nada observes that the television has weird interferences from a pirate transmission of a man that belongs to an underground movement and notes a strange moving of people in the church on the other side of the settlement. Nada sneaks around the church and finds a box with pairs of sunglasses. When he wears the glasses, he discovers that the average people is being dominated and subdue by subliminal messages and several persons are aliens indeed. Further, the elites are corroborating with the invaders, receiving financial support in return. Nada forces Frank to wear the sunglasses and together they seek other humans aware of the situation to organize a resistance against the powerful aliens from Andromeda and their associates.
But back to the movie. I suppose that any collectivism vs. individualism movie—from Invasion of the Body Snatchers to 1984 or The Matrix —manifests similar qualities. The sad thing is that in reality, when collectivism rules, we have only (defective) humans to blame. Our collectivist rulers are aliens only symbolically; though I would not be surprised if the defect that afflicts them were biological and those who are addicted to power may someday be shown to have been a distinct subspecies of homo sapien.<br/><br/>In the movies, for dramatic impact no doubt, the writers seem to need to posit alien creatures at some location in the "collectivist-ruler" political metaphor. So They Live comes along and shows the rulers to be ape-like humanoids who can only be seen in their true appearance by humans with a cheap pair of nerdy wraparound sunglasses. <br/><br/>…<br/><br/>For my complete review of this movie and for other movie and book reviews, please visit my site TheCoffeeCoaster.com.<br/><br/>Brian Wright Copyright 2009
This movie is one of the toughest critics of Reagan-era. It must be noticed during these years of intellectual poorness in american movies. It's not to say that there have been no clever movies but the most noticed movies were not. In France we keep overall movies like "Rocky IV" or "Rambo" where the hero is the stronger, he never dies and saves the world (what could we do without Americans ?). The point of view of Carpenter is very courageous, he shows what consumption society makes (consume, obey) and has that few people awares of it. It was an era where money and economical liberalism were ruling human relationship. Carpenter couldn't stand this and showed it by the way of the seventh art. That's what movies should be made for : engagement in the author's mind by the work. There are not a lot of movies today having surprised the viewer like this, by its cleverness. The last american one is "In the company of men" by Neil LaBute. There are scenes which will stay in the memory of the person who watches, like the fight. You think it's going to end but it continues, and continues. In a typical movie it ends after one or two minutes, but there, no way. John Carpenter breaks the rules and this nihilism (see the name of the hero : Nada) was not the "american way of life". By breaking the rules of movies he broke the rules of american society. There has been two other heroes, created also by Carpenter : Snake Plissken and Jack Crow. They are not perfect, they have weaknesses, they are just humans. They don't really make dream the spectator but they're more similar to him than "Armaggedon" or "Independance day"'s characters. The perfection is a notion that carpenter doesn't like, in his different movies ("village of damned", "Vampire$") the heroes lose sometimes, they're not more clever, they get f***** (the motel's scene in Vampire$). "They live" is a film about the human, the perfection and freedom. Carpenter broke rules of American society (and way of making films)in order to promode a typical American value : the freedom. Carpenter was free when he made this movie. This idea sweats from the screen and you would like to feelfreehim, with no limits. 10 on 10
They Live is, to scramble its most famous line, better at chewing bubblegum than kicking ass.
