In his last role, Robinson was stellar. I wish he would have gotten an award for it.
Saw this in 1973...Still Think that 10 minute scene of Sol going home is one of the most Powerful in Cinema History....
I adore this film. Robinson was extraordinary. Great scenes between Heston and Robinson.
He died only 12 days after this movie finished filming and never saw the completed movie.
Imagine you're dying of cancer but you believe in something so much you have to see it through.
The same with the great actor Julian Beck after his unfinished performace in POLTERGEIST II.
What makes this scene so great is how Sol is increasingly amazed by each commonplace product/food, starting from plain old paper and ending with the prized item in this movie's world, something more precious than gold: beef. Just priceless acting.
T'Pau from "Amok Time".
@@starguy2718 Celia Lovsky. She was a Czech-Austrian actress who was at one time married to Peter Lorre. And, yes, playing T'Pau in the *Star Trek* episode "Amok Time" was her biggest claim to fame.
2015-2019. As a kid who watched this at the theater when this movie came out those dates seemed so far into the future that they'd never arrive and here they've come and gone.
sinto o mesmo. Vi quando criança e parecia tão longe e dava tanto medo. Agora é 2022.
@NEAR TERM EXTINCTION - HUMAN statistically if there's nothing being done...possibly by 2040...not just oil but also other natural resources, climate change and food supply. There's a computer calculation done sometime in 70's but it did not put into factor the global heating factor since at that time they still unsure about it.
Nobody cares...or should I say people especially the governments all over the world are already apathetic about this issue. They make a lot of noise but nothing much could be done. Everyone in power mostly accepts the collapse and they are prepping...the 1% elite preparations are beyond compare to us commoners prepping for disasters.
Thing is if they do anything about it, might cause a lot of upheaval resulting loss of profits and power to the elites. So just let earth go into collapse, cull the weak and poor, start the cycle all over again. Look up documentary about what happened in 536 AD and the Bronze Age Collapse subject.
It happened before...they are just repeating the same thing...nothing ever changes...
Everybody wants a bright future for their kids. Everybody but Hollywood.
@timoshenko1971 : Everybody wants a bright future for their children, even Hollywood people. Unfortunately, not enough of us want it badly enough to face the ugly truth and act accordingly, which means things will only be worse for our children.
People today aren’t trying to make synthetic food a regular thing? Someone should have told me
I loved the friendship of these two characters. The scene of sal dying always makes me so sad
same here. They had a special bond.
*Sol
This movie had one of the most
Haunting endings I have ever seen.
I was a kid when I saw this on CBS.
"The near future world of 2022" - Wait a minute...
As a lover of books I am very taken at the scene when Celia Lovsky gently places her hands on the volumes Edward G. Robinson brings in. In spite of all that is going on in the film I understand what is going through the character's mind at that moment.
Here's another "Last Librarian" example, as an original Twilight Zone episode: The Obsolete Man, starring Burgess Meredith:

This scene, is so honest, the question of where is god when all these terrible things are happening in the world?
A small group of people dedicated to the truth and rule of law, trying to keep civilization alive in a post apocalyptic world.
How many crimes of humanity have gone unnoticed, unpunished and covered up by the rich and powerful people or nations.
It's almost like they are talking about what is happening right now in the USA.

I know a exchange. It's my local historical society. 70 + and rooms full of books. None of the information is online.
When I visit its terrifying as the younger generation are absent. I'm 45 and one of the last.....
Please read to your children from a book when they are young.
Please do it every night.
It is truly our only hope.
No hope left. Per a 2017 report, 50% of American adults have not read a book of *ANY* kind (including comic books!) over the past 12 months. Everybody's glued to their smartphones, tablets & laptops, "surfing away". The *HABIT* of reading is what's gone...RIP

Yeah, there are these things called paragraphs that link back to this overarching theme of ‘Proper formatting so you don’t kill people with you lack of organization’.
Maybe you should read a book about it sometime.
I know what you are saying LOL. But I have no time to do it or for it. I rather type away lightining fast. Formatting comes later LOL. You Amerikanskies are clueless to why some people type this way. Well, better tell it to you now, when your mind is racing you type everything down. Then start organizing it laterm but I don't have that later time, LOL!
The scene at the library was probably the most comforting moment. A horrible world outside unless you’re the 1% that can enjoy some luxury. Just a simple old archives place full of elderly people spending their days in books doing research and their leader a judge a sweet old lady, but also a realist with the dying world.
"The oceans dying, the plankton dying. It's people."
I know. Greta told me, many many times.
And what if it is? Given the situation civilization is in by this time, this is both viable and ethical. The dead are past caring what happens to them physically. And the alternative is far, FAR worse,!
5:27 "Soylent Oceanographic Survey Report, 2015 to 2019"
also, Celia Lovsky, aka T'Pau from the Star Trek TOS Episode "Amok Time" :)
good call.
@@makeit7579 Soylent Green is impossible to happen if one is "STUDIOUS ENOUGH" to study all of the old and new organic and inorganic agricultural technologies in the unconventional category and conventional category. The old and new pollution control and reusing technologies that were successfully invented and used BUT WERE NEVER MENTIONED IN THE NEWS! Only the Japanese and now increasingly we Russians realized what pollution as it is, that it is a form of unprocessed raw material in an another form that needs to be seggregated and separated and purified into it's various constituents to be reused again. And both the Japanese, the Germans, and increasingly us Russians are following this philosopy and combining it with Professor John Todd's Living Machines and Perma culture and both ancient and modern ways combined to enhance each other.
@@darthvader5300 I guess that why its science fiction.
yes, I noticed it. I remember Leonard Nimoy talking about her being in Star Trek and being impressed by her.
🖖
6:41 and on is some of Heston's best acting. It's like he's woken from a horrible nightmare, the worst of his life by far, and is struggling to describe it.
They still shown a love for each other through their quarrels and Robinson goes out in a very realistic way and also in real life giving such a great acting scene putting on a real death mask
I have this film. First saw it at the cimena house, then owned it on video and have it on DVD. I realised all those years ago what an intelligent film it was, and re-watch often. If the scene where The Last Librarian discovers not one but two volumes of the Oceanographic Survey Report isn't sounding alarm bells in the real world of 2021, then we got it coming to us.
Yeah, it's a great one
This is a terrifying reality to think of.
Soylent chips. Soylent soda. Soylent milk. I'd say we've already got it going on with HEK293 in it.
@CringeyCrud Honestly with enough ongoing plagues and pandemics, people won't have to worry about overpopulation.
@@EmptyMan000 Japan is desperately trying all kinds of different ways to make their own people to get married and have with lots of children for more are retiring now than are replacing them for they have met the LIMITS OF HOW FAR THEY CAN HAVE EVERYTHING ROBOTIZED! They knew in the 1980s that they can only efficiently and effectively use robotics only when they automate-compterize-robotize around labor inorder to achive LABOR FLEXIBILITY for only humans has the capacity of WISDOM and the inherently human ability to deal with the UNEXPECTED. If one will read all the books concerning unconventional agriculture from 1800 to 2020 then one can know that THERE ARE NO LIMITS TO GROWTH. Especially if one reads the book of Herman Khan's "The Next 200 Years" and Professor Harrison Brown's "The Challenges To Man's Future", and Permaculture and Chinampa system and "Hybrid soil bed-over water culture hydroponics systems" and Professor John Todd's "Living Machines" and many others. Plagues and pandemics? Ever heard of ozone technology, atomic colloidal silver technology, medical grade oil of oregano technology and many others too numerous to mention here.
We are heading that way in some shape, type or form.
And completely plausible
Love this film...Thank you ! Happy 2022...
Brock Peters was great as he usually is. RIP
T'Pau rocks as usual.
Brilliant Brilliant film.
EGR was great in this and in his other non-gangster roles, such as "Our Vines have Tender Grapes." I love to see Charlton Heston laugh -- he had a nice smile that one didn't get to see very often.
Planet of the Apes when that dude planted the tiny American flag on the soil of a planet later found to be, future Earth. My favorite "Charlton Heston" laugh moment.
This is 2023 and the world isn't at all like on that movie. Thank God for that.
Classic scenes. Thanks for these... possible precursors...
T'Pau makes an excellent Librarian.
what a wonderful comment about a wonderful actor and human being!
And Europe seeks to reduce farming by 30%.
we are nearly there with books
How depressing that all the dates are now in the past...
When I saw this in the 90s 2015-2019 was still the distant future. Now it is already part of the past...
The way they are given soylent is similar to the way livestock is sometimes given cheap feed instead of actual food.
Nice edit at the end.
The horrifying part isn't the soylent, exactly, because it's so processed. What's astounding is seeing that there's no resource left other than human life: not human civilization, not human knowledge, but merely the proliferating bodies that are pacified with 'rights' and 'rations'.
how accurate
If this was done right, this could be done as TV series on say Paramount, STARZ, HBO or Showtime.
I actually have something called "Soylent" in my frig as I write this.
YOU MONSTER!!!
Hahaha I hope you threw it away.
Ah. That soy milkshake stuff, right?
@@TheMandalorianGhostYT Not sure. It's been two years since it was in the frig.
@@RammatRamzi ok then
My apartment looks just like theirs!
you should see my place, i have over a hundred thousand books!
Messy?
0:28 - those old timey razors, though!!🤣
Those who take the time to do independent research from multiple sources will learn the truth, even if it's buried up.
Yeah. But good luck finding independent sources that don't have a personal stake in something or other.
And this movie predicted that we would be wearing face masks.
I love Celia Lovsky's performance.
Looks like it's arrived !
soon to be our world......
Like hell it will.
manickreations wouldn't work we've got the internet
it's later than you think.
Better to drop every nuke we have & end it fast.
@@Shanethefilmmaker really?
I like the movie, and its ending, but the ending is a problem because it now gets dismissed as some kind of silly punchline. As a tribute to Robinson this could have ended around 6:42, or with a clip from his beautiful death sequence.
Beethoven's 5th will never be the same again for me certainly...
See the movie, CLOUD ATLAS-- with Tom Hanks, Haley Barry, Susan Sarandon, Hugh Grant, and more--- horrifying in this line
the barcode the beast's mark for recycling == it has to do with the original sin cannibalism.
I keep SoylentvGreen and Cloud Atlas beside each other in my video stacks.
@@vickirempel5529 yes lots of good older movies that foreshadowed this time, Omega Man, Logans Run, 1984, Animal Farm, I would never have dreamed these events in my lifetime. Be well friend.
Believe. The evidence is overwhelming..
That why we need to make big family a thing of the past
lol bother to learn how this film is tarded
Why the negatively towards this movie? Its emphasis is on "Feeding People"
Your gonna need a bigger planet.
Not really. Just a smaller population.
I forget.
Good God, Soylent Green is PEOPLE!!!!
Part 1 and read Part 2 below
Soylent Green? That is one big LIE! By doing the right thing now or even in that environment, soylent green will be useless and virtually unnecessary. All the water, food, medicines, fibers, raw materials can be recycled from wastes and extracted from ordinary rocks, clays, and soils. Safe photo-nuclear generator batteries will supply endless power for all of mankind's needs!
Oceans are dying now
I read that there was not enough king crabs to fish anymore this last year or something like that
I read the original story. You notice the people in the library are elder Jewish people (different from the original story)-- it gives a subtext to what is happening -- akin to the Nazi attitude toward people.
One new reason I like the film cloud Atlas, it references America in 1973, the Jews being persecuted in 1936, older people being discriminated against and enslaved in 2012, and a soylent green like world in neo seol 2144 and that's just 4 of the 6 world's in the movie and the book it was based on

The old fogies at the library and Sol are the last survivors of those that were children of The Great Depression and Thorn is a Late wave Generation X’er that never experienced eating real food in his life until he stole it.
@Dee Atkinson it’s an alternate universe in this movie. Time came to a standstill around 1973 and no major changes happened with clothing, aging, or any other styles. Shirl is playing Computer Space, the first ever known video game from 1972 in the beginning. Sol should be enjoying Led Zeppelin or Steppenwolf, not some easy classical music when he’s going home!
@@jondstewart I remember that video game when I saw it at a GRANTS store in Clark, NJ. My reaction was basically,: "Wow. It doesn't get any better than this."
IT WILL HAPPEN 😣g
Does soylent green taste like chicken?
Good question, but no, I don't think so. Originally Soylent Green was a fictitious food from a dystopian movie about a dying planet. The Soylent Green in the film was initially produced from seaweed whose high nutritional content made it preferable to the less nutritious Soylent Yellow and Soylent Red produced from land plants. Today you can actually purchase Soylent Green brand crackers made from seaweed. At the time of the movie's release in 1973, seaweed crackers were not mainstream in western countries. However, east Asian peoples have been eating seawood since the inception of their civilizations, and they've been marketing packaged seaweed in various forms to include crackers since mass production became available in the twentieth century.
What God?? Where will we find him??
That why big famlies needs to be a thing of the past
This didn't happen. It will never happen. The world is a beautiful place.
Be secure in the knowledge that I would never eat you.
I wouldn’t be so sure about that , Bill Gates is buying up farm land at a rate of knots 😡 he isn’t exactly trustworthy is he ??
What a bleak way for Edward G.Robinson to finish his career.
4:30
And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads: And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name. Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six. -- John's apocalypse 13:16, the beast forcing mankind to fall into the original sin cannibalism. Without the mark (being dynamically a recycling member of society for food) you will be forced to live outside of the cities in deserts.
Then why does Jesus say to eat of his body and drink of his blood albeit symbolically isn't that a type of cannibalism?
