This week we’re stoked to bring you an awesome pair of posters from an awesome pair of artists, John Carpenter’s THEY LIVE by Leslie Herman and Terrence Malik’s THE THIN RED LINE by Peter Diamond.
“THEY LIVE, the sci-fi satire on capitalism and socio-political ideology where waking up is the only way for the working class everyday people to gain power over the brainwashing monster elite in control, surely stands the test of time as an iconic and fascinating film that continues to resonate. I want to push the concept of perception and vision with this poster, where the viewer is invited to take a moment to see what is really happening, which can produce different results depending on the viewpoint. It's a bunch of old television sets, it's the media, it's a monster, it's a hidden message, it's a man that is all out of bubble gum and looking to kick ass.” - Leslie Herman

"I knew Mondo had 2 brilliant posters for the film by Tomer Hanuka and Joao Ruas, which was daunting already of course, but I wasn’t prepared for the scope and lyricism of the film itself. I find that what gives the film most of its power is something you can’t really see, the world of “life and light” stolen from the characters by the conflict. Any good war film has to deal with that idea somehow, the world each soldier loses and can probably never return to in life. But it’s the biggest thing, most beautiful thing in this film, a character unto itself. That’s why I’ve treated the negative space this way in my design.” – Peter Diamond
