Soylent Green (DVD)New York. 2022 A.D. Teeming with jobless, homeless people. Teetering onthe edge of anarchy, the government rations synthetic food. Those whocontrol the supply have unlimited wealth and power--as long as no onediscovers the awful truth behind the source of Soylent Green.Academy Award-winner Charlton Heston (Ben-Hur, The Ten Commandments)stars as Thorn, possibly the last honest detective on the undermannedpolice force, who investigates the brutal murder of a prominent memberof the Soylent Company, manufacturers of the artificial nourishment.During the course of his probe, Thorn discovers the horrifying mainingredient of the mass-produced food. Caught between personal integrity,the quest for justice and knowledge that could lead to the death ofmillions, will Thorn expose the deadly secret?]]>

Review: One of Charles Heston great performances - A great movie I saw it in junior high school in 1975 it always stuck with me how you should appreciate the things that you have
Review: Timeless, Frightening and Thought Provoking - This is one of my favorite movies and one that has a deceptively complex morality question deep inside the sometimes kitschy ideas of the future as seen through an early 1970s lens. A whole generation of people have been born and grown to maturity who haven't seen it and I sure hope the large number of reviews and continued sales on desertcart will introduce them to this great movie. First off, this is one of the "Holy Triad" of Charlton Heston's sci-fi films. The other two are Planet of the Apes and Omega Man, of course. Both very worth a see as well. Also shining in this movie are Edward G. Robinson in his final film appearance (and it is a poignant and beautiful role for him) and Joseph Cotton in a brief but pivotal role. The story centers on a murder that Thorn (a cop played by Heston) investigates in a near future New York City where over-population and increasing environmental damage have nearly destroyed the modern way of life. Thorn's "Book" named Sol (a type of research assistant) played by Robinson uses some loot that Thorn found at the scene of the murder to open up clues to a conspiracy that is so dark and far reaching that it will shake the world if it comes out. What follows is the exciting, tragic and heartbreaking search for the truth. Some of the most important parts of the movie are those that are least talked about. If you think about these almost subliminally disturbing aspects of the film, one can be left with a new and very strange take on morality in difficult situations. One: The question of furniture. In this future, the very wealthy live in apartments that we might see as middle class today and have access to things like real meat (though not great quality) and actual fruits and vegetables (also not great but real). They also have humans included with the furniture and actually call them such. In this case, it is Shirl, a pretty girl whose function is obvious and like a good couch, meant to be comfortable and unobtrusive for the owner of the apartment. For most of us the thought is totally appalling, but is it really? In a world where most won't live to adulthood and death is likely to be drawn out and horrible, furniture live lives of relative security for at least as long as they are young and pretty. Interesting question. Two: Death and Suicide. In this future, the living are too numerous and it can't be sustained. The plankton that fed such a populous as the world dustbowled have now also died out in the super heated future. In response to this, the government sponsors beautiful places where anyone can go to "go home". It is nothing short of an assisted suicide/euthenasia clinic. It is also one of the only places of peace and beauty left for anyone. When Sol finds out what he does during his research and goes to one he has one of the most beautifully filmed and realized death scenes in movie history. It is perhaps even moreso since Mr. Robinson never had another film appearance before his own death. Thorn finds him and tries to stop him, but it is too late and in seeing how this plays out for those who go there to die, one can almost see the positive morality of such a place in such dire world circumstances. It is, after all, the choice of the person who goes there...no one elses. Three: Ultimate Recycling. SPOILERS HERE. Most people know the line..."It's made of People!!". Not all of them know that it is from this movie, which is amusing. In the final scene of the movie we see Thorn trying to get the word out that Soylent Green...once made of plankton for protein...is actually made of the people who go to die at the euthenasia centers. We also see that no one is listening. While our initial reactions as this is discovered during the course of the film is one of disgust, it does beg the question...why? The world is too full of humans and there is no longer the resources to bury them all as they leave this world. What do you do with them? In this future, they break them down into slurry...just the basic proteins...and make a type of cracker out of them. When we consider that the FDA has an allowable amount of contamination for food that is human in nature, it changes the metric some. Is it, in reality, any different than the wonderful crops that come in the years after a battle happens on a field? It's equally appalling and thought provoking. Four: Environment and humanity. One of the most interesting responses I've seen to this movie happens in the first couple of minutes. A montage of scenes depicts real life progress and the pollution that it brought. Most often I hear a comment about how realistic that looks for a 1970s movie. What most are surprised to hear is that almost all of them are real images of real life. How shocking that is to people born after the Clean Air and Clean Water acts. Younger generations have no idea that LA used to be so smog choked that people died or that swimming in a natural body of water could easily kill you or give you cancer quickly. While I'm generally against too much intervention by government I'm often surprised that anyone could ever assert with a straight face that people in business to make money will police themselves and won't intentionally harm the environment. I remember the time before the government forced companies to stop spewing filth into the air and water. Those images of what our country looked like are worth seeing the movie for all by themselves. They are eye-opening. Overall, there is a great deal of 1970s fashion and style that many today will find laughable and there is always that wrongness that happens when trying to imagine a near future (like the video games), but the movie itself is sound and entertaining. It is also dark and mature in nature. It's an excellent film that will appeal to those who like sci-fi, dystopian movies or classics of the age.
