Four circle Venn Diagram with 1984, Brave New World, Idiocracy, and the Hunger Games, with They Live, Fahrenheit 451, Animal Farm, and Mad Max at the secondary level, and Brazil, The Matrix, Soylent Green, and Lord of the Flies at the tertiary level, and YOU ARE HERE right in the middle.

I think something's wrong with my box of candy hearts...

Some candy hearts scattered across a table surface. Instead of colorful hearts with lovey messages, these are shades of gray and display phrases like OBEY, STAY ASLEEP, CONSUME, CONFORM, NO THOUGHT, MARRY AND REPRODUCE. (The subliminal brainwashing slogans from the movie "They Live."

I just rewatched the cult #movie #TheyLive! by #Carpenter
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/They_Live

Bad acting, plot holes, slow pace compared to nowadays movies but a more accurate story than ever.

A true classic that has influenced so many!

How about a modern remake?

People are finally putting on the glasses.

A burly man in a plaid shirt (Actor Rowdy Roddy Piper) reacting to a new world of information about the presence of extra-dimensional invaders that can only be seen by wearing a special pair of sunglasses that he's pulling away from surprised eyes.

Watched THEY LIVE (1988)

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/They_Live

Promotional poster for movie They Live. It shows a close-up of the right eye of Roddy Piper as John Nada, as he lowers a black pair of sunglasses which show the reflection a ghoulish face with exposed teeth, red bug-like eyes, and blue-and-red splotchy skin. Behind the ghoul is the orange and violet sky of a sunset or sunrise, a palm tree, and the illuminated office buildings of the Los Angeles skyline.

Header text in small black text:
You see them on the street. You watch them on TV.
You might even vote for one this fall.
You think they're people just like you.
You're wrong. Dead wrong.

The movie name appears at bottom-center in ragged white block letters with red highlighting, that look like they were hand-painted with a brush. To the upper-left in small white thin block letters is "John Carpenter's". Below this is the billing block.

Where's Rowdy Roddy Piper when you need him. I know there are a few "They Live" parodies similar this out there but I wanted to focus on the hawking consumerism. The Overton Window is well and truly smashed.
