Klasičen film iz 80-tih, ki nam razkrije temelje družbe.
They live je klasičen film iz leta 1988. John Carpenter je v namensko počasnem ritmu prikazal zgodbo zaskrbljenih ljudi, ki so slepo sprejeli svojo usodo in se predali pravilom družbe, ne zavedajoč se pokvarjenosti in zavajanja ekonomsko, socialne in politične družbe. V raznih oblikah in številnih razsežnostih, so vodilni »alieni«, ki so se integrirali v človeško psiho in do onemoglosti izčrpavajo človeštvo.
To je zgodba posameznika, ki naleti na skrivnost vodilnih, ter preko podzemnega gibanja, ki ima za misijo sabotirati aliene in njihove načrte, zbuditi ljudi. S pomočjo sončnih očal posameznik vidi svet takšen kot je v resnici, črno bel vzporedni svet, ki ga je podzavest odločila se ignorirati ga. Z subliminalnimi sporočili, ko to »Ubogaj«, »Bodi pokoren«, »Poroči se in se reproduciraj«, »Bodi potrošnik«, »Glej televizijo« in »Spiš«, skozi ta nadzor misli, so alieni programirali ljudem podzavest, zavzeli svet in lepo zapakirali svoje manipulativne namene, s katerimi povečujejo lastno bogastvo, vpliv in moč, medtem ko je na drugi strani vedno večje število brezposelnih ljudi na pragu revščine.
Gre za bitko samozavedanja, kjer se posameznik bori z resničnostjo, ki so jo zasnovali alieni, in vojno, ki so jo ti sprožili proti prebujajočim se ljudem. Oni živijo, ti spiš, le kam te bo zavest pripeljala, ko se bo navidezna realnost zbrisala pred tvojimi očmi. Dobrodošli v resničnem svetu.

They Live, a classic film 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, 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 color, but a black and white parallel world that the sub-conscious has chosen to ignore. With subliminal messages as “OBEY”, “CONFORM”, “MARRY AND REPRODUCE”, “CONSUME”, “WATCH TELEVISION” and “SLEEP”. It is through this thought control that the aliens have this world tied up and neatly packaged for its own manipulative uses, to further themselves at the expense of the meek, mild, and the lowly sufferers of a jobless and hungry world.
This is the battle of self-awareness and one man’s struggle with a reality check that has these alien beings staging war against the up-rising and rebellious armies from the gutters and streets. They Live You Sleep; where will your consciousness take you when the sleep is washed from your eyes. Welcome to the real world.
