They Live is a 1988 science fiction/horror film directed by John Carpenter, who also wrote the screenplay under the pseudonym Frank Armitage. The film is based on Ray Nelson's 1963 short story "Eight O'Clock in the Morning".

Part science fiction horror and part dark comedy, the film echoed contemporary fears of a declining economy, within a culture of greed and conspicuous consumption common among Americans in the 1980s. In They Live, the ruling class within the moneyed elite are in fact aliens managing human social affairs through the use of a signal on top of the TV broadcast that is concealing their appearance and subliminal messages in mass media.

The story revolves around a nameless man referred to as "Nada" (Roddy Piper), a quiet drifter who finds work on a Los Angeles construction site. One of the workers, Frank Armitage (Keith David), takes him to a local shantytown. After eating at the soup kitchen and spending the night, he notices odd behavior at the small church across the street. Investigating, he discovers that the church's soup kitchen is a front: inside, the loud "choir practice" is a recording, scientific apparatus fills a back room, and cardboard boxes are stacked everywhere, including some in a secret compartment that he stumbles across.

  • Love the end

  • Thanks for the upload. Utube deleted the last one i had bookmarked, and the one before that and the one before that. Hope this vid stays up for a while or at least until some arsehole goes running to utube over a film that prob makes no money anymore anyway

  • @wisdomtrek THIS IS YOUR GOD! no, kidding :)

  • @Clebardman listen man, im sorry if that sounded like a rant, i have nothing against jews and i dont have a shitty life, im just pointing out that some people get on better in society because of their colour, blacks are obvious so they tend to get targeted as a minority and attract a lot more attention, not that reverse discrimination doest happen as well, nevermind all that anyway, its a great cult movie and we shouldnt look too deep into it, its easy to get carried away like i do sometimes lol

  • @Conkyisaliveandwell "lust for money, power and status" ? you're just crying because you have a shitty life and are looking for someone to blame. "they are white on the outside" exactly what i said. Every time you are jealous of someone, you can just tell yourself "hey, that guy must be a jew !". feels better this way, hu ? religions and races are for assholes, we're all red inside except some morons full of shit and anger.

  • thx for uploading

  • @JEWSCONTROLMEDIA911 most people probably think you are a racist, but that's only because we're so politically correct now we all have our heads up our asses. jews are like white asians, they have the same lust for money, power and status as asians but are far more accepted in our society because they are white on the outside, this is how they have managed to gain so much power. how many black presidents have we had? obama is only half black. how many jewish presidents have we had? thinkabout it

  • @Clebardman to be honest tho, they do

  • Well, the 1% are the aliens then. ;) Small symbolic step to solve the ideological puzzle isn't it?

  • @JEWSCONTROLMEDIA911 I think you are an asshole.
