They Live (1988) Keith David on Being Homeless in They Live

Bonus feature clip from They Live, out 11/6/12 from Shout! Factory.

Keith is a classy and under-appreciated actor. I am so glad his character "lived" in Platoon.

i totally relate to this movie & to what keith david's talking about. after the divorce, i was homeless for 2 years & some change but i was still working 2 jobs. the ex & the courts made sure that i couldn't continue on with my life until i paid off the courts and the ex! ..and i wasn't the only one living out of my car and/or crashing with relatives! keith david is right! there's millions of working homeless out there in america, especially now! the movie, THEY LIVE, was ahead of it's time!

Such a powerful film way ahead of its time in social commentary

[gvson]

This makes me so sad especially when I read people's comments online wether it's here Twitter or FB. They say who cares about fellow Americans. Like Carpenter said we sell out everyday.

Roddy Piper should've been the next big action movie hero. Hollywood could have made millions of dollars off of Piper. Dude had it all: looks, charisma, he could act and Piper had an already super-huge fan base. Man, what could have been.

this was deep, and the ending scene of this clip was good

Thi s movie is the difference between artistic films and movies of today. Unfortunately, many people don't get it and probably never will.

I love how Carpenter took the idea from the short story “ Eight O’Clock In The Morning “ and made it his version and vision. THEY SLEEP!! 😎

If you are not somewhat changed after seeing this movie, you're more dull than a bag of wrenches my friend. It's out there, you just have to grasp it. Great movie/documentary.

i loved this movie too. i was hoping that Roddy Piper was going to go on and be a big action movie hero. Instead, Hollywood didn't warm up to him and he went back to wrestling. But, anyway, I'm really enjoying Keith David's interview...The blue ray DVD version has a lot going for it.

WOW, & I thought I really Like Mr. Davis before!?
WHAT A GUY!

RIP RODDY PIPER THERE WILL NEVER BE ANOTHER

All hail the Arbitor ! I was homeless when this came out . I saw it in a homeless shelter .

Divorce, alimony, and child support can force you into homelessness instantly. Happened to me. Lived out of my car for 2 years, was working 2 jobs but couldn't pay both the courts, judges, the angry ex, and child support and afford a high-priced L.A. studio apartment. A lot of people are where I was. It's a huge growing community of the working poor. It is a living breathing nightmare for so many. It breaks my heart.

I have two different DVDs for this film. Shout and original. I also just bought Tales From The Hood 2 with Keith in it.

He was the lead in the cartoon Gargoyles...

[nenofalletta]

This is classic. My cousin told me about it

[ozzymorrison]

Roddy and Bad News Brown were friends after all🔥🔥

This film is more relevant than it was back then. A lot of people are one paycheck away from the street. A lot of people can’t come up with $1000 in an emergency.
