Younger people probably have never heard about the movie They Live. They probably know only The Matrix as the ultimate movie allegory about conspiracy. They Live is not only better, it's perfect. What we have is not a superhero, but a real human who has to hide because of discovering the conspiracy, since the whole system belongs to the conspirators. This is a real depiction of what happens to the people who get to know the truth and can't function in society anymore.

I tell my friends to watch it as a documentary not science fiction. It amplifies the message.

It was intended to be a documentary about how we're enslaved by capitalism. The aliens represent the alienation man experiences in capitalism. But it turns out the people at the top are so distant from those they control that they have become aliens.
