O Those Conspiracy Theorists! lol, a movie that shows some of the reality of our existence (1988 style), but in a way that depresses/oppresses any truth seekers. What was the ending? death and a national revelation (cable 54). It does showcase how fighting against the "aliens among us" is never going to end well!
By John Carpenter, the horror master.
From Wikipedia: Carpenter has always felt a close kinship with Lovecraft's worldview and according to the director, "Lovecraft wrote about the hidden world, the 'world underneath'. His stories were about gods who are repressed, who were once on Earth and are now coming back. The world underneath has a great deal to do with They Live."[2]
Žižek states: They Live is definitely one of the forgotten masterpieces of the Hollywood Left. … The sunglasses function like a critique of ideology. They allow you to see the real message beneath all the propaganda, glitz, posters and so on. … When you put the sunglasses on you see the dictatorship in democracy, the invisible order which sustains your apparent freedom.[16]
I rented it from the library out of curiousity, so many sites referred to this movie... there was a 6 minute fight scene. hahaha and they both walked away, crushed nuts and all. omg!

If you like old classics I propose you watch Soylent Green and The Omega Man with Charlton Heston.

I've watched plenty of classics, but like Blossom's thread about the Ninth Gate, it's like seeing things all ANEW, when you realize what's being said or shown! I will look that up, think I've seen every Charton Heston movie. Thanks Henrik
