Headlines today discuss the growing possibility of energy and food problems that were first brought to world attention in the 1970's. Films like Soylent Green helped to illustrated the grim future that could potentially befall us if we don't take these problems seriously and change our destructive behavior.
Soylent Green was produced by MGM in 1973, and stars Charlton Heston and Edward G. Robinson in his last role. It's a powerful film, which you can buy online at Amazon.com or the MGM website.

It was my late Dad (who passed in 2002) who first made me aware of this great film. One year (in the mid-1990's) I gave him a VHS tape of "Soylent Green," for his birthday and he just beamed over the idea that he could watch it again, whenever he wanted. A happy memory for me - Cheers to all!

2022 NYC, everyone wearing face masks, homeless everywhere. Some things never change! The transitions in the music are incredible. The slow paced "Waltons" rural era leading to the first motorcars and a few picnickers riding in the country at first, then the speeded up era of early 20th century prosperity and great cities, then the jazzy music that heralds freeways, millions of cars, and the world of the 70s. Builds to a crescendo to ecological and industrial collapse... then the music breaks to a slower tempo "oh, well, here we are." A masterpiece.

I love how the music starts off really nice and calm (representing the idyllic life of old times), then gets more and more chaotic (representing modern life) and then calm again, to represent a future where the planet is calm again - because there is hardly any human life left, except we have also left behind devastation. Such a striking opening sequence! The first time I saw this was in a compilation of the best opening titles of all time, years ago, and I totally didn't expect to see Soylent Green at the end. One of my favourite of all time too.

I can never get over how devastating this opening sequence is. I'm from Southern California, and this is exactly what's happened there---a once fertile, pristine region now completely overrun with asphalt, traffic, congestion, and chaos. Of course, this makes modern developers and realtors into some of the most evil, anti-social people in American history. One day justice will be served for destroying our most valuable resource---land.

Anyone who thinks that living outside in nature is a solution to pollution is insane. The only solution is for humanity to get off the planet. The real questions is whether we do it in the next century or two by going into space, or simply by dying off and leaving the Earth to evolve intelligent life in the trash heap that will be the graveyard of our civilization.

The amazing thing about this opening is it points out a time when humans lived amongst nature which is something that humans were doing since the beginning of human existence til the industrial revolution in the late 1800s which makes this opening both beautiful and dreadfully sad. What this opening is showing is were departing from our source and struggling to get back.

Writing 6th April 2022 .... scary times with Russia invading Ukraine on 24th February 2022, with fully armed troops, tanks, troop carriers, missiles, rockets and WMD. Creating a warzone in many places, from North, East and South of Ukraine. Mariupol (and Kharkiv and more), now in total ruins, razed to the ground, by lethal and unrelenting indiscriminate bombardment, from Russian Murderers, firing from the outskirts of this helpless city and starving citizens under siege. Reading the news of the terrible Russian atrocities which have occurred in Bucha, one of many occupied smalls town, captured and occupied by Russian troops 4 or 5 weeks ago. Bucha, situated just outside Kyiv, has many mass graves filled with ordinary citizens, also sadly one dug grave holding the Lady Mayor of Bucha and her family tortured and killed. Ruzzia has now turned tail in the North back to Belarus, and their crimes in Bucha are now being revealed, by the Ukrainian liberating Army. I could go on ... just hope a Russian citizen sees my comments and is no longer fooled by Putin-the-Butcher-of-Bucha-and-Kyiv and his stupid lies and foul propaganda.

Eventually they end up living in two separate worlds where the poor live in a huddled mass, ignored, treated like garbage in the gutters that needing cleaning out. The rich live in lavish worlds where they enjoy things that most of the poor have never even seen. Beef! Strawberries! This is the end result of unchecked capitalism in a shrinking world.

this movie,along with the other two ones based on harrison's and matheson's novels,namely the omega man and rollerball,sets up a very prophetical landscape which is more or less similar to the way we live today..

It’s interesting that in a world with such serious food shortages that the producers of Soylent Green could readily access so much ‘green dye’ to recolor the food with. The Soylent Green producers were ‘successful enough’ to continuously extract this safe, edible ‘green pigment’ from wherever it came from to coat the ground up human meat with. If they ever ran out of this green dye, then I imagine that Soylent Green food would cease to be green.

You have to read the book, the ecologist tale called "make room ! make room !" of Harry Harrison. In 1966, the author does not dare to clearly promote his anti-natalist message in a radical way. When I think about it, it always reminds me of this old man crying because he sees a real tomato. By the way, the actor who plays the old man was really at the end of his life when he made the film, which gives to the final scene an even more harrowing ending.

1:45 here you can briefly hear a motif derived from the first movement of Beethoven’s 6th Symphony _Pastrorale_ - an obviously ironic touch and also the piece of music used for the final credits after Heston’s iconic last line; this serves to thematically bookend the film. One of the best uses of montage in cinematic history and possibly the best usage of montage and score together. Edit: Obviously Beethoven’s 6th is also used in another prominent scene in this film but I don’t want it to be spoiled for those who haven’t seen it yet. I guess it also counts as foreshadowing.

Nope! The reality of 2022 isn’t like Soylent Green. For example, the population of NYC is at 8 million as opposed to Soylent Green’s NYC being 40 million people. Yes, today’s NYC population isn’t even close to that of Soylent Green.

The most disturbing thing of this movie is that NYC, in 2022, will be very close to reach 40 millions people and if the entire world will goes on in this way we have the concrete risk to get a future that we saw in another movie: Mad Max. A third war conflict will only accelerate the processes.
