Review of They Live

They Live (1988)
7/10
Best Paranoia Film of the 80's
16 October 2000
When this flick came out, many people who saw it told me

it was symbolic of the Japanese financial take over of the

US(remember in the 80's when Corporate Japan was buying everything they could in the US at inflated prices?). A

couple people told me that it was about the Jews taking

over the US. I decided to see it myself and I rented the

video. My conclusion? It can be who or whatever you want it

to be depending on your worldview. I enjoyed this movie taking it at face value and was

surprised at Piper's performance. Good action/Sci-fi with

adequate special effects and some good twists in the plot. Rating: 7
