For some reason, our distributors called this wonderful picture, called ‘They Live’, ‘Aliens Among Us’. Of course, both of them reflect the idea of ​​the film, but the real title touches it deeper, especially since this is a quote – on the wall in the church there is an inscription ‘They live, we sleep’.

So, the plot of the film is simple as always – one very tough guy gets involved in an incomprehensible story: in the church, next to the construction site where he got a job, a secret group lives, which the police raid. After these events, our hero enters the building and finds a batch of glasses. At this moment, it turns out that the world is not what we are used to seeing …

At first glance, the film seems to be with too vivid irony on modern life, but everything is not so simple. In fact, the world represented by John Carpenter is the same with and without glasses, the only difference is how we imagine it. Our hero was rolling along the road of injustice and indifference, and, by a happy coincidence, he comes across wonderful glasses on his way, which open his eyes. He, intoxicated by their effect, goes to deal with alien muzzles, but he needs allies, because he alone will not be able to cope with them. Here Frank comes into play – his colleague at the construction site, who suffers from an obvious stubbornness and fear of change, it becomes extremely difficult to make him just try on glasses. Further, the film is gaining momentum more and more, in order to result in a stunningly cool ending at the end, which will not leave you without a grin on your face.

John Carpenter is one of my favorite directors, he knows how to combine completely different genres in his works, filling it all with his own unique style. This film, I think, best of all gives an idea of ​​how to shoot strong and exciting pictures – there is nothing superfluous here, the author does not overdo it anywhere. As always, the camera work is at its best, which does a lot in this film. I would like to pay special attention to fights and shootings – they just breathe energy and drive, that you want to get up and join the heroes, and the last 20 minutes, so in general, is the standard of an action movie and a festival of a cinematographer.

For which I love Carpenter’s work, for the fact that he always narrates unobtrusively and easily – not once during the film did I get the feeling that I was being pressured by pathos or an idea, but always gives an aftertaste that leaves no one indifferent.

He first met the work of John Carpenter 4 years ago. Yesterday I revised it. And I understood. I understood that the movie turned out to be funny and interesting, albeit with reservations. Of course, this is not “Something, but a completely watchable independent work.

It is amusing how John Carpenter presented a rather serious and burning topic in a satirical and humorous vein. For some hour and a half, he showed how different are the living standards of poor and rich people in Los Angeles. And he showed not gloomy and realistic, but rustic and even somehow mundane. For all the seriousness of the topic of poverty and social inequality, attractive humor is still revealed. It will not be easy to tear off an unforgettable 6-minute fight between the two main characters. The whipped hero David David was only required to wear sunglasses, but no, he threw all his energy into waving his fists. John Carpenter called this scene the wash of John Ford’s “The Quiet Man, although according to rumors, the fight scene was a kind of concession to Roddy Piper fans. Anyway, everything turned out great!

“In the late 1970s, there was a sharply negative reaction to everything related to the 1960s. The same thing happened in the 1980s in relation to the previous decade. Ronald Reagan came to power. This “reygonomics began, – the creator of “Christina once said. – Then a lot of ideals, on which I grew up, were offended, because some yuppies started to exist, and they just wanted money. By the end of the 1980s, I could no longer put up with all of this, and decided to make a statement as stupid and banal as it was. The statement was the film “They Live 4K 1988”. It was gratifying that I sent Reagan when others did not.

It is said that the problems raised in “They Live 4K are still relevant. In capitalist countries, it is customary for the poor to become poor, and the rich to become rich. And indeed it may seem that the powerful of this world are influenced by alien invaders. John Carpenter managed to show the Americans the Matrix back in 1988, although the Wachowski brothers’ masterpiece came out only 11 years later. All the appeals shown in the film properly created the illusion of a bright and real life. If in the “Matrix machines needed “people-batteries, then in “They Live 4K they needed “people-cattle. Even a mockery of the slogan “take off the rose-colored glasses turned out to be cool: in order to know the enemy by sight, you had to wear glasses. The mood does not spoil because of how easily the protagonist scattered from the slow invaders of the planet Earth. On the contrary, the ease of what is happening on the screen is constantly felt. Yes, and the hero Roddy Piper turned out glorious: pofigisticheskaya nature will not lie, that such a person does not surprise.

Last October, John Carpenter was asked a stupid question: you do not want to watch your films? To which the 67-year-old director gave a sensible answer: no, God forbid! Do you think I’m sitting idle, watching my films and exclaiming “stunned, you just look at it!? I love this old man! It is time to admit to myself that the father of “Halloween” is now also one of my favorite directors. John Carpenter is the only one, and it’s a pity that in the future they’re probably remaking remakes of all his famous films. I would not be surprised if the constant process of remakes is also a trick of aliens.

May the Force be with you!
