A nightmare every time closer,
By
This review is from: Soylent Green (DVD)
In 2022 the population's growth may reach eight billions people So the awful warning call given by Aldous Huxley ( A new visit for a brave new world) , George Orwell (Animal's farm or 1984) will suppose several restrictions about the free circulation vehicles and also an estimated amount of liters of water by each one of us.This film is a very clever scifi story about a overcrowded world, where the reduced free spaces of the world we know actually , may be more narrow. The story holds a deep reflection about the effects of a claustrophobic world, the lack of certain benefits you assumed almost naturally till now. This movie shows us about a reality not so far. This work was the last appearance of Edward G. Robinson; thanks to Heston efforts for including him in that role. The last sequence in which you watch the ancient world like it was; it depicts a bucolic landscape; and the Pastoral Symphony works out perfectly with this goal. You may feel it something tearful, but the remarkable point is the hidden message. Still we are on time to avoid it. But who'll take this dangerous flag? This film was released just one year after since Roma's club establihment, in 1972. In that age I had the opportunity of reading that fundamental work of Barry Commoner titled The circle that it closes.Watch for this one. Because with these raising reflections about the enviroment concern around the world made it possible, by instance, avoid to throw several hazardous weapons over Vietnam, whose direct and collateral effects had not studied enough. Chernobyl was just only fourteen years before and Long island twelve years. Only with this long introduction you'll be capable of understand why this film,together with Farenheit 451, Capricorn one, The Omega man, Zardoz, The planet of the apes , 2001 and Solaris were made between 1967 and 1972. We are taking about movies of film makers so distant in style and view directorial as Kubrick , Tarkovski, Truffaut, Schafner ,Hyams and Boorman, but surrounded by that cloudy atmosphere who involved the world in those days. A must for you to watch. It will let you thinking for a long, long time.

The price of strawberries in the year 2022,
By
This review is from: Soylent Green (DVD)
This is one of those bleak future movies where there is a finite amount of resources and an unbalanced distribution of them. The one good point is that food processing as been perfected to the point that we get tasty blocs of colored nutrients. The best one, publicized as being made from plankton Soylent Green.Detective Robert Thorn (Charlton Heston) is tasked with investigating a homicide in a ritzy section of town. During the investigation he, with the help of his friend Sol Roth (Edward G. Robinson,) discovers a dirty little secret. Shocking for the time of the movie release. Nowadays we would take it in our stride. Still worth watching.

This review is from: Soylent Green (DVD)
I enjoyed this movie. Being a big fan of Logan's Run and Rollerball, I like my 70's sci-fi. This is a very grim look at the future. You can tell that it is dated and probably this was the mentality people had of the future in the 70's. Some of these special effects (in fact most) look cheesy and weak by today's standards, but I think that a lack of special effects somehow put more emphasis on the story and character development. It was nice to see Chuck Heston and Edward G. Robinson together. They worked well together in the ten commandments. At times, I get in the mood to watch some old sci-fi, and this with the Omega Man makes a good double feature.
