They Live - Eyes Opened

This prescient scene from the movie "They Live", is a very accurate symbolic representation of the state of awareness in modern America.

that movie had symbolic representations but not the ones you thought.

The guys with the scary faces represented the people who support man on man violence, corruption, and war. The guys who make up their own set of rules is who their talking about.

The corporate system as a whole is not corrupt, its the people who are in it that make their money as wingers that their talking about.

In most cases subliminal messages never work. All it is is people who are so snobby about what they think is good that they talk someone down to the point where they listen to what they want them to listen to.

on the part where people ubsess over money, that one is also false.
Theirs a word to describe corporate america at the present moment.

Self control. Nothing more nothing less. So in a way, that message may be real.

The message behind the movie was brilliant, but the movie itself kinda sucked, I mean, they could do a far better job. And I am not talking about visual effects, more like the script should be redone. No, I'm not gonna write list of things I would change, everybody should see for their own.

Here's the link for Torrent:

But I guess I can't be so critical about it, since it was made in 1988.

they live-awsome movie, but dont think so

as for americas awareness, its just about the same for everyone (look at europe, they allowed themselves to be turned into a cess pool of socialist elitist)
