Two movies that explore how we see the world — it's They Live vs. The Hunt (2020).
John Carpenter's They Live and Craig Zobel's The Hunt both force their characters, and their audiences, to confront how perception shapes reality. Emily examines how a 1988 cult classic about sunglasses that reveal hidden propaganda and a 2020 satire about political tribalism are both asking whether we can trust what we see, who we're told to fear, and what happens when everyone thinks they're the hero.
