"They Live" - Truth Sunglasses

"A hit scene from the 1988 classic film "They Live." An economic crisis brings unemployed Nada (Roddy Piper) to L.A. in search of work. His discovery comes when he dons a pair of special sunglasses made by a resistance group and sees for the first time reality unadorned. Billboards, store signs, magazine covers--all bear subliminal messages to OBEY, CONSUME, NOT QUESTION AUTHORITY to have NO INDEPENDENT THOUGHT. Money itself says THIS IS YOUR GOD. What he finds instead is that the ruling elite of the world are aliens in disguise, their aim being to keep humans in a state of mindless consumerism. But worst of all, with these glasses you see which of us are really hideous, bug-eyed aliens. The conceptual breakthrough is hilarious while keeping its roots in darker matters. Although some fault the film for settling into its action plot, the ending has a great payoff. And the direction by John Carpenter is handled with superb workmanlike aplomb."

Anyone who dislikes this is an alien. I know, I have sunglasses to prove it.

Goldman Sachs is a JEWISH OWNED financial institution, the Federal Reserve is also controlled by the JEW Ben Shalom Bernanke and before him by the JEW Alan Greenspan; the IMF was controlled by the JEW Dominique Strauss Khan, the current deputy of the IMF is the JEW John Lipsky. The World Bank since 1944 had 11 presidents; at least 4 out of 11 were JEWS...

There is something like these sun glasses in real life, it's called putting your feet on your shoulders and giving a good shove.

Formaldehyde face, I'm gonna have to remember that one. Some times the best movies are based upon a simple idea, and not a huge budget. The fight sequence where he forces his friend to put on the glasses was over done, and the movie dragged in a few places, but I still give it a B plus.
