your choice either put on these glasses are started not trash

i already am eating from the trash can all the time the name of this trash can is ideology the material force of ideology makes me not see what I'm effectively eating it's not only our reality which enslaves us the tragedy of our predicamentwhen we are we've been ideology is that when we think that we escaped it into our dreams

at that point we are within the geology yeah yeah yeah they leave from 1988 is definitely one of the Forgotten masterpieces of the Hollywood left

it tells the story of John nada now of course in Spanish means nothing if your subject deprived of all substantial content a homeless worker in LA who drifting around one day enters into an abandoned church and find their strange box full of sunglasses and when he put one of them on walking along the LA streets

he discovered something weird the dish glasses function like a critique of ideology glasses they allow you to see the real message beneath all the propaganda publicity gates bolsters and so on you see a large publicity bar telling you have your holiday of a lifetime and when you put the glasses on

you see just on the white background a gray inscription we leave so we are told in the post theological society we are interpolated that is to say addressed by social Authority not as subjects who should do their duty sacrifice themselves but subjects of pleasures realize your true potential be yourself lead a satisfying life when you put the glasses on

you see dictatorship in democracy it's the invisible order which sustains your apparent freedom the explanation for the existence of this strange biology classes is the standard story of the invasion of the Body Snatchers humanity is already under the control of aliens hey buddy

going to pay for that or what look buddy I don't know house today either pay for to put it back according to our common sense we think that ideologies is something blurring confusing hour straight view geology should be glasses which distort our view and the critique of ideology should be the opposite like you take off the glasses so that you can finally see

the way things really are this precisely and here the pessimism of the film of they live is well justified this precisely is the ultimate illusion ideologies is not simply imposed onourselves geometries our spontaneous relationship to our social world how we perceive its meaning and so on and so on

we in a way enjoy our ideology all right to step out of ideological it hurts it's a painful experience you must force yourself to do it this is render in the wonderful way we further scene in the film where John nada tries to force his best friend John Armytage to also put the glasses on

I don't want to fight you come I don't want to fight up stop it no and it's weird this Chi in the feeling on the fight takes eight nine minutes of glasses it may appear irrational push why does this guy protect so violently to put the glasses on it is as if he is well aware that spontaneously he lives in the line that

the glasses will make him she the truth but the dish truth can be painful can shatter many of Europe's illusions this is a paradox we have to accept the glass what the extreme violence of liberation you must be forced to be free if you trust him

you're spontaneous chance of well-being or whatever you will never get free what freedom hurt
