Here's the full movie for your viewing pleasure, it's an amazing movie that I'd highly recommend everyone to watch.

They Live is a 1988 American science fiction horror film written and directed by John Carpenter. The film stars Roddy Piper, Keith David, and Meg Foster. It follows an unnamed drifter (referred to as "John Nada" in the film's credits) who discovers that the ruling class are aliens concealing their appearance and manipulating people to spend money, breed, and accept the status quo with subliminal messages in mass media. It is based on the 1963 short story "Eight O'Clock in the Morning" by Ray Nelson. - Wikipedia

My favourite film.
We can relate to this film in todays society all over the world:

People selling out for profit.
Nothing as its seems.
Foreigners wanting to turn our world into their world.
An ever increasing division in society (rich n poor).
An indisious veil of secrecy draped over a thin veneer of mistrust.
NOTHING IS AS IT SEEMS!

GOOD LUCK.

Exactly.

I've watched it a few times now, scary as the general theme seems to be becoming more realised in our times.

I've not done any digging into John Carpenter, but I'd like to know what inspired him to make it.
Have you seen Soylent Green?

Hi Mike, no I've never seen Soylent Green but I've a good idea what it's about. Spookily, while the missus, little'un and I were having a 'movie night' on Saturday, we was watching Cloudy With Meatballs 2 and when the 'FoodBar 8.0' was mentioned I automatically said to the wife, do a Google search for Soylent Green.

Funny, yet very scary.

Ha, well I'd also say give that a watch.
The twist is predictable, but the film has lots to say. It's a form of predictive programming.

Will do, cheers :)
