"They" is the first written Austrialian short by Damon Herriman (soon to be known as "that guy from that awful Elisha Cuthbert 'House of Wax' remake). This short is mildly amusing and at 7 minutes, doesn't where out it's admitedly thin premise of there being a secret society of eight people who go by the name "They" and just spout saying. So whenever someone says, "you know, They say..." it's this secret cabal that says it. WAY better then that piece of excrement made in 2002 called "They". Viewers of the great "Are You Being Served?" will notice Basil Clarke in a small role.

My short Grade: B-

The title says it all : )

Required characters is 600? What a load of malarky. Here is the communist manifesto: The history of all hitherto existing society(2) is the history of class struggles.

Freeman and slave, patrician and plebeian, lord and serf, guild-master(3) and journeyman, in a word, oppressor and oppressed, stood in constant opposition to one another, carried on an uninterrupted, now hidden, now open fight, a fight that each time ended, either in a revolutionary reconstitution of society at large, or in the common ruin of the contending classes.

In the earlier epochs of history, we find almost everywhere a complicated arrangement of society into various orders, a manifold gradation of social rank. In ancient Rome we have patricians, knights, plebeians, slaves; in the Middle Ages, feudal lords, vassals, guild-masters, journeymen, apprentices, serfs; in almost all of these classes, again, subordinate gradations.

The modern bourgeois society that has sprouted from the ruins of feudal society has not done away with class antagonisms. It has but established new classes, new conditions of oppression, new forms of struggle in place of the old ones.
