They Live
John Carpenter
1988
A subtle and nuanced commentary on consumer culture and the perils of conformity! I was really drawn in by the realistic portrayal of a man discovering a secret alien conspiracy through the power of a magical pair of sunglasses, and the gripping fight scenes that lasted for what felt like hours were truly unforgettable.
Guess the perspective of the following positive and negative comments provided by AI.
Answer at bottom!
+ Let me tell you, "They Live" is a total wake-up call, like, we need to open our eyes and see the truth about what's really going on in this world!
- I'm sorry, but "They Live" is just plain ridiculous, like, I couldn't take it seriously with those cheesy special effects and over-the-top fight scenes.
Now some haikus and midjourney art…
We drifters through life
Hidden messages divide
We drifters unite
Look out for yourself
Blinders, head down eyes narrowed
Corporate fodder
Signals they bombast
A false reality screened
Question true meaning
Aliens control
We humans follow, greedy
Selling each other
Put on the glasses
Us controlled without consent
Wake up and fight back
Out of bubblegum
Heavy handed metaphor
Not easy to miss
Nine Points of View
The Optimist
Such a depressing message delivered with the such youthful enthusiasm. Just put on the glasses already!
The Mystic
Who is the one that makes the grass green?
The Hyperbolist
Greatest back alley fight ever!
The Dualist
Good movie, the one liners never stop.
The Trickster
I love my social commentary with extra cheese, smothered and covered like Waffle House hash browns.
The Skeptic
How long have these aliens been on earth? And why is there most important cloaking mechanism so easily accessible? A bad storm could’ve knocked it out.
The Rationalist
Too much truth.
The Empath
Such a quick switch from wearing sunglasses to openly shooting up a bank.
The Overthinker
Not much to overthink here, it’s all shoved out in the open.
