It’s an odd film whose message can be somewhat overwhelmed by the cheese-factor.
But, of course, it also gave us one of the all-time great memes:

So very true! I feel like the cheese factor helps bypass incredulity about the material being presented in terms of the subliminal messaging and the control structure as a whole.

Definitely a classic. Back when I was on farcebook, everytime some troll was attacking my perspective, coming from a position of total ignorance, I would always think of that fight scene, and be like, Man!! Just put on the damn glasses!! LOL
Peace.

Haha! Ya, this film is just chock-full of meme-worthy moments like that! John Carpenter was working some magic on this one.
