George "Buck" Flower in They Live
I am watching this for the billionth time right now, and thinking about his drifter/yuppie character.
What do you think about his scenes toward the beginning, at the worker's camp? He sits there watching TV, and talks about different conspiracy theories to explain the world. It's hard to know exactly what to make of this, considering what we know by the end of the movie.
Is he spreading disinformation? Maybe trying to lay a trap for possible malcontents, seeing if he can get them to rebel in some way so the cops can scoop them up and throw them in jail? The cops seem to corral HIM, when they come to the camp and walk through taking shitloads of prisoners. But, they were probably told by the chief aliens to just keep an eye out for him and take him somewhere safe, while they beat the living daylights out of everybody else.
Any thoughts about this? The scene where the cops run through the camp is a little confusing, I might have always missed something important.
Also, if anyone here ever invents a time machine, could you do me a favor and bring the woman on the giant Come to the Caribbean billboard (the billboard that changes to "Marry and Reproduce" when looked at through the glasses) back to our time? I want to marry her, but it would probably be more fun to be with her when she looked like she did on the billboard than to be with her as she probably looks now. K Thanks bye!
