    THEY LIVE, WE SLEEP. It is also a passionate left stick movie. The ending is good for a while, and it is too simple to think of the ruling class. In fact, the question raised is that the ruling class is not a human being and you have to fight to the death, so what if the ruling class is human and the subject of brainwashing is human? The style is in the same line as the Great Escape from New York, and it is quite cold and atmospheric. Is this just like forcibly relocating the low-end population...

    A cautionary fable of the capitalist consumer society, the concept of "sunglasses of ideology" is a gross revelation of the age of consumption. Zizek opened this film in "The Ideology Guide for Perverts", trying to uncover the ideological machine hidden under the media, material, and landscape. Of course, Carpenter is not just a science fiction about alien life occupying the earth The typological presentation of the story, and more importantly, he uses the concept of science fiction to debunk...

    Supplementary standard #HANKOUFILM# released today In films that fully emphasize symbolism, all plot arrangements also need to be interpreted symbolically.

    Beyond the ideological films of thrillers, we can see the ideology behind the capital package when we put on glasses. The upper classes are in a completely different world from ours. But people resist the truth, and the bottom has to use glasses to see through it. The plot and ideology themselves are not closely connected, which is a...

    A simple, crude and boldly humorous sci-fi political satire. The core setting is very old: wearing special sunglasses ("mirror mirror") can "open the eyes", identify aliens in human skin, and see the ideology behind them through phenomena: consumerism takes money as a god, culture The common phenomena of late capitalist society, such as industry, the depletion of mind control ideas, the reproduction of the marriage system, and the entertainment to death by television media, are all blackened....

    Dare to think, dare to shoot, look at the billboard, the substance is just a brainwashing cycle of "consume" and "conform" It turns out that there were iwatches in the 1980s, and in those days I liked the femme fatale who couldn't see through the real...

    I saw a story in "Story Club" before, which was still an advertisement, the kind you can see naked when you put it on. The depth of the story of this movie is also at the level of "Story Club"....

    The originality and idea of ​​the story are very good, sci-fi satire, Carpenter's thinking about the real world and human beings is very unique, the sunglasses probably affected the Matrix, but unfortunately the process was a bit silly, but the film of that era was like this....
