What am I missing here? Is this supposed to be a slight, seriously?!?! I usually get satire and dry humor, but I'm lost here. Is this some type of Mexican slight to be portrayed as an alien? Someone please explain this to my simple mind.

Mexicans don't like Trump because they're made that we won't allow them to use us as their toilet anymore.

The last thing they want to do is have to take care of their own people.

Nada (Roddy Piper), a wanderer without meaning in his life, discovers a pair of sunglasses capable of showing the world the way it truly is. As he walks the streets of Los Angeles, Nada notices that both the media and the government are comprised of subliminal messages meant to keep the population subdued, and that most of the social elite are skull-faced aliens bent on world domination. With this shocking discovery, Nada fights to free humanity from the mind-controlling aliens


Jesus, is this movie like The Godfather here in the states- where everyone knows the reference? I obviously just don't get the culture of my grass cutter and the lady that cleaned my room last week.

If Mexicans love the POTUS that probably isn't a good thing for Americans.

it's a pretty well known cult movie with oft-referenced dystopian/authoritarian themes

Its disparaging. Portraying the man as monster.
Simple.

no i'm pretty sure it's implying that "Make America Great Again" is like "Obey" and Trump's message is hidden, like the aliens in They Live
