But this one's also backwards? I haven't seen the movie, talking purely about the two photos.

In the movie the glasses let the wearer see the truth. This template is often used backwards but it's correct in this case.

"They Live!" A guy finds some strange sunglasses that lets him see the subliminal messages hidden in all our print and media and advertisements. He can also see aliens walking amongst the population, disguised as regular humans!

Turns out, Earth had been invaded by aliens long ago and they've been keeping us under their control with subliminal messages for decades.

And the aliens definitely aren't allegory for capitalists

The Full movie is worth a watch.

Perhaps the best line ever uttered in any movie. Rowdy Roddy Piper maybe a B movie actor at best, but he was meant to play that role in that movie.

I have often wondered: Who wore a kilt best. Bruce Campbell or Rowdy Roddy Piper. Campbell was a Sharp Dressed Man in his kilt for sure. But Piper wrestled in one for years-- it was his trade mark garb.

One of the best fight scenes in any move too.
