They Live deserves a 10
They Live deserves a 10 for being a much needed statement and indictment of consumer society.I could comment on the fist fight and other aspects of this film that help to outweigh its flunky aliens, but the metaphors are perfect for helping young viewers learn about the uses of propaganda as well as metaphors.
"WMDs" should be proof enough for anyone that has yet to connect the dots between reproducing society as each generation becomes more entrenched in the "consume and breed" cycle of propaganda, anyway. So the aliens were "flunky." The metaphors are wonderful!
It is ironic, to say the least, that the propagandists have mystified the growth of global warming and global dimming while feeding WMD lies and propaganda to us so successfully. It should not matter if the writer intended to create a bit of social realism through a Sci Fi film.
