The whole "humans as livestock" thing just never made sense to me, and made it hard for me to suspend disbelief. There are lots (LOTS) of animals that are way more efficient to farm than humans. Humans do not make ideal prey animals for this reason. We don't reproduce rapidly...pigs can have dozens of piglets in a single litter. Humans almost always bear offspring one at a time. Human pregnancy takes almost a year. And it takes many many years for humans to mature. That's a lot of resources invested for very little return. It would make sense for Vampires, due to their dietary restrictions. But not as a conventional food source for ordinary humans. Even Algae farming is going to consume far fewer resources than farming people.

It's funny how the turns have tabled. Excessive birth is now mostly a thing of third-world countries, while all the developed and quite a bunch of developing nations have under 2.0 births per family (in fact, to just *sustain* the population it have to be ever so slightly above 2 on average). The coping for now is to allow migrants, but that destroys local culture. The problem is, the conomy was never oriented towards the ever lowering demand. When modern societies were building their busyness models in the XIX-XX centuries, it was envisioned that the world's population would steadily INcrease, allowing for as steady a growth of economy. We are not exactly facing those problems yet, but as the viable consumer (ppl who can afford to consume goods and services en masse) population slowly but surely declines, the economic impact in, say, 50 years may be very... intersesting to see.

Not coping, but corrupt government replacing western populations. Consumerism, fractional banking and other nonsensical BS is forced upon us.

This movie impressed me. Since I first saw it in the early 80s, I was and I am sure this will happen.

This, Rollerball, Logan's Run, these films from the seventies were just dark in such a different way from say Mad Max. All though pictures a future that is too familiar in certain ways.

Lol, a dystopia movie about a society that has ruined it's environment to an unrepairable state. This movie wouldn't even make a splash if made today. Heck, half the current fans would say it's preachy.

This was one of my favorite 70s sci fi disaster movies. I became more aware of our environment and also, that the people at the top, are not that nice. This movie “molded” my beliefs. At the time, I never even thought of it. This movie is also a perfect example of how science fiction can become fact. Nobody seems to listen until it’s too late. Next in the horizon is A.I. and killer robots. But I wonder if they’ll be humans around to reminisce of the sci fi movies that predicted it.

throwing a party shortly after your spouse died in the very place he died can cause suspision. Also: Who attends to such a party? Like imagine you get a call and somebody is like: "I am throwing a party in that flat. You know, where somebody (my spouse) got bludgeoned to death yesterday. You going to attend?"

I wonder if the Robots movie was loosely based off this premise, with how the outmodes are scooped up and recycled into upgrades.
