"happiness Only Real When Shared"
Best ending quote ever heard in movies
Cool film. Given a little too much relevance today thanks to conspiracy theorists looking for movies that 'warn us' and what not. Yes it's about sheeple and those in control and I like that.
The film is fun and really comes to life when the glasses are worn. I'd have liked the They Live world to be bigger than some black and white signs, but they did the job and it didn't venture any deeper. It felt like a quick idea executed well. The fight scene was a bit long near the end. It slowed the movie down to the point where I wondered if it was ever going to end and what fun scene could have been made to take its place?
In the genre of 'Misery Porn', file Sorry We Missed You under 'Amateur'.
Ken Loach presents us (yet again) with struggling middle class members knee deep in their own shit and subsequently derives sadistic pleasure in slowly adding more and more shit until they all suffocate in their blue collar despair. The end.
