GFP Note: This is a follow-up to a post from March -
THEY LIVE 1988 - FULL Length.
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 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 job less and hungry world.
This is the battle of self-awareness and one mans 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.

thanks for sharing
Yep!
Haha. That's what we need to finish waking up this planet - billions of pairs of sunglasses that let the LIGHT in rather than filtering it out!
"They Live!"
I saw the movie a long time ago, and it was awesome. I highly recommend it, if you can find it (maybe at Block Busters?) I remember that it kept me at the edge of my seat toward the end. The sunglasses were awesome. I wish someone would invent some, lol! But then how would you recognize those who have been brainwashed!? Love is the only way to stay out of the fray and to stay calm, centered and grounded. Feel into every moment to what presents itself, and go with the flow. The scripts were written a long time ago, and offer endings according to ones choices in the moment. All has been provided for, every last detail carefully laid out. Just relax and enjoy the ride!
