This 4 page paper relates to the following topic: They Live takes place in a present day Los Angeles battered by unemployment and class divide. As the protagonist realizes, this is due to the fact that civilians are being 'put to sleep' by subliminal messages from a transmitter built by an extraterrestrial race bent on enslaving humans. What is interesting about They Live is that the colonization is powered by something as everyday as advertising and television. One can't help but be reminded of Berger's assertion that '[p]ublicity turns consumption into a substitute for democracy.' Use John Berger's Ways of Seeing and Barthes' The Poor and the Proletariat to analyze John Carpenter's They Live. Are the critiques of advertising offered in Chapter 7 of Ways of Seeing helpful in attempting to do a critical reading of the film? Is John Nada, the main character in They Live, an example of what Barthes argues is man on the eve of Revolution? Though the film offers an oversimplified and sometimes exaggerated view of repression in society, does its message still carry value and import today? Bibliography lists 2 sources.
