1978's Soylent Green shows the consequences of human actions and what will happen to the earth if we continue to drain its resources. Overall the movie was okay at best, I mean the whole story line was alright but it didn't really make me believe that that was the world we would be living in in the 2020's. Also the ending was kinda of a letdown. You expect to be this epic ending where he reveals this shpocking secret to the world. and it ends up being this lame ending which I'll reveal later. So don't continue to read this unless you wanna know how it ends without watching it. But, the main plot of this movie was showing a dystopian vision of the future. Anyway, about that ending. It ended with the most random line that I will yell in every awkward or silence situatution or whenever possible. That line is; "Soylent Green Is People!!!!"Friday, January 9, 2009

I thought the ending was fairly "shpocking" too. It's inspiring to see somebody who wasn't depressed by the movie as well. This was a very dystopian film.
ReplyDeletePersonally, I liked the ambiguity of the ending. Heston's character is giving a warning, just like people in our time give us warnings about the social ills of our time. Are people in the film going to listen to him? Are we going to listen to the our social critiques?
