"People...People who eat People..."

Sorry, Babs! I couldn't resist!

One of the all-time best movies ever made! Forget that in the year 2022, the most advanced gaming system is Pong! Forget that the People's usual housing is old 1966 Pontiac station wagons. Although dated in it's interpretation of physical things in the "future," the message is horrible and indeed it is happening!

Take today's headlines of global warming, the depleted fish stocks in the ocean, the droughts and poisoning of foodstocks, and the overpopulation of the world. Add Charlton Heston (How could a NRA gun nut Reagan Republican star in such a 'leftist' "Environmental whacko" movie like this?) and the unmatchable Edward G, Robinson, in his last role. What you have is an apocolyptic vision that is both timeless and a warning! Oh, Al Gore, where are you when we need you?

In that world the rich are like they always are, living pampered lives where they can afford 150 D a jar strawberry jam. The working and the poor live squalid lives living on stairs and stair landings of apartment buildings and in the shells of wrecked cars. The poor can't afford the food the rich eat, they must rely on all those synthetic crackers that Soylent Corporation churns out. "Soylent Yellow! Get your Soylent Yellow, made from genuine soy beans!"

However, if you are in the madding crowd struggling for your ration of Soylent Yellow, do not cause a riot! For if you do, the "scoops" will scoop you and your fellow rioters up and deposit you all in garbage trucks, perhaps to be made into the new miracle food, Soylent Green! Oops, I gave away the ending of the movie!

Charlton Heston's ending death wail about Soylent Green is as epic as when he screamed: Get your stinking paws off me, you damn, dirty ape!"

In this film, they dont even have the luxury of "wok-ing their dog." (ha ha ha) As Charlton finds out, the society of 2022 utilizes the epitome of recycling technology to eat. I will say no more about that.

The revelation to Charlton as he goes to Edward's new "home" is both beautiful and sad. It contrasts the beauty of what once was to the squalor of what is and what will become.

Great!!

This movie was just as enjoyable to watch as it was all those years ago when it first came out. Charlton Heston as a young man was great to see again. The story line may have been futuristic when it was first told, but it makes one wonder about our future!
See it, you'll like it.

Warning ... of things that might happen if we don't change

Scary, but possible with the direction that corporate dictators & their purchased minions in government are rushing toward only for fleeting wealth & power.

Act & pray for change.

Movie is good at showing a crappy future

This movie sucks, not in a bad way. Man, it makes a future so bleak, felt like I would need antidepressants after seeing it. Good flick at what it does, strong story, cute 70's chicks. I'm not some tree hugger, but this movie makes you think. It kind of reminds me of "Land of the Dead", with rich living good and poor barely surviving. The ending is killer and kind of figure it out, good watch.

Soylent Green

This movie was ok, pick it up if you can get it cheap otherwise pass it up. It's more like a "B" rated Sci-Fi movie but it has a somewhat interesting story line though.
