You know there is an actual Soylent Green produced by a company of the same name. And it's base is seaweed not plankton. The inventor watched this movie.
The funny thing is all those lab grown real meats? Are based on growing human cells and flavouring them. Because they don't know how to grow cow meats, but they already have advanced knowledge in growing human cells. Soylent Green is already here.
I remember watching this when it came out in 1973. I was thirteen and I did the math in my head and figured out that in 2022 I’d be 62. Then it dawned on me that I would be the Edward G. Robinson character! 😲 At 13, it was kind of a weird concept…but now here I am. 😂
@@eragon4249 "slowly"? As far as we are aware even the KT extinction (big rock fall, TPK) event took a few hundred thousand years to loose species as fast as we currently do.
The reboots for Soy Lent Green are called "alternative meat" & "plant based" foods which you can buy at the grocery stores. Or the Film "American Carnage" where the kids recycled in to food after being worked to death thru EAT_U (Elder Adults Tolerance Understanding ).
Waiting in line at Space Mountain, Disneyland, (exit around the back) I commented that did my companions notice that all these people were going in but _nobody_ was coming out and maybe crates of Soylent Green were shipped out at the end of the day. "You've got to tell 'em! Soylent Green is made of tourists!" Then we got to the big catwalks leading to the ride vanishing into a spinning tunnel and we just stopped dead with a "Whooooah!"
I'm a fast food worker living in a 2 bedroom apartment, and I have them in my freezer. You sir, are lying. Don't try buying a huge house and don't have a bunch of kids if you want to keep your money.
What I remember the most about this movie was, with how bad everything had become, the police could get away with just about anything. The worse it got, the more corrupt they became... and no one could stop them.
There's a game called "They Are Billions" which uses this premise. A zombie apocalypse starts because some sort of disease is passed through the human corpses that were processed into food. The mega cities are then over-run as billions of people turn into zombies.
Yesss...that's like the Creutsfeld Jacobs disease... It's a prion that's causes it and come from cows who were fed protein from dead cows. Came from GB. Prions can not be killed, even temperature has no effect.
I hope not. There are already too many similar films, and I think this one should remain a classic instead of the insult of a crappy modern day Activist filled hollywood dumpster movie that we'd get in the 2020s.
@Alte.Kameraden a classic no one under a certain age knows of. The movie scared the shit out of me when I saw it and it wasn't the twist. It was the food scarcity, corporate greed/power but in all honesty, when Heston laughed/cried eating a meal we take for granted.
@@rosaamarillo2110 Yup on Omega Man. Even though Planet of the Apes was set in the future, it was the distant future and not really a dystopian setting. Just a changing of the guard from man to apes. It was a man out of time movie.
The physics of this system just don't add up. Breeding people like livestock, you also have to feed them for many years before they are harvested, The calories they consume over their lifetime is always going to exceed the calories their body can yield when processed into Soylent Green.
Even rats aren't in the movie, my Theory is, they add some artificial nutrients to that thing and add few algae as flavoring, so the production will be stable and we don't know where the poop go.
@@ArmandoEnfectana-bp6jo if those artificial nutriens are the thing that makes it worth while, then why not just consume the artificial nutriens in the first place?
They aren't breeding them for food. The synopsis is wrong. They are just using the remaining resource, dead bodies, for food, as it stops the masses from rioting and them wealthy, to prop up the inevitable death of the human race. To maintain the illusion of hope for a few more decades before extinction.
By the way, Soylent Green was the last movie Edward G Robinson was in. He passed away not long after the film was finished. Makes watching his death scene even harder...
This movie hits so much harder now. This is honestly probably our future. Except instead of a city, it's a bunch of parking lots and Walmarts and its the prisons that get turned into Soylent. Then the cops just invent reasons to fill the prisons.
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.
You're right but the things is you already have billions of those matured products walking down the street and a lot of them aren't going to be missed by the same masses
I always wondered how the people in Soylent Green were entirely unable to outrun trucks that traveled at maybe half a mile per hour - basically crawling speed.
I’ve read a couple of sources that claim that Edward G Robinson knew he didn’t have long to live while he was working on this film and that Charlton Heston was the only other member of the cast & crew who knew how sick the former was. The scene where Robinson’s character agrees to be euthanised and a grief stricken Heston watches helplessly through the screen becomes much more poignant for this reason.
Especially China and the USA. It's not just more CO2 per capita, also the EU decreased its emmisions by around 30% in 25 years, China increased it to a higher level than europe, and for the US It's twice the CO2 per person compared to the EU 🤷♂️
Bill has sent you on false trajectory. CO2 is photosynthesis = food production. With reducing the area used for farming by 20 % he will also increase food prices dramatically. And a step further to the goal he publicized himself: Reducibg population GROWTH.
I saw this movie when I was a kid and never forgot it. It creeped me out and I see a lot of the same corruption and evil in the world we live in today. Maybe the movie wasn't that far fetched after all.

The actor who played the older roommate Saul had a terminal illness at the time he was filming, which must have made it both hard and important to play a last role about a person facing end-of-life.

The Film "American Carnage" is a remake, where kids are recycled in to food after being worked to old age thru EAT_U (Elder Adults Tolerance Understanding ).
@@bobshanery5152 If it's so cheap, why have chicken prices soared to all-time highs?
I remember i saw a list of spoilers that spoiled the end to soylent green and watched the whole thing and its so good you can really enjoy everything about the movie while knowing how it ends
This definitely needs and deserves a remake.
I have not ever seen this movie, maybe I should.
I keep hearing about it a lot.
We need this in the English channel.
This movie impressed me. Since I first saw it in the early 80s, I was and I am sure this will happen.
Sorry Ron but the average person can’t really afford a kid anymore, they solved this issue quite fast
Absolute Classic, yet a possible future reality 😮
Looks like san fran yesterday🤪
Man this is good...had to stop so I could watch the movie!
I love this movie….chilling even to this day.
The last time I was in hospital, as they were wheeling to the thestre, as I was keaving the esrd I yelled " SOYLENT GREEN IS PEOPLE!"
Nobody got it.
Thanks for sharing, i remember watching this with my father...
Anyone remember when Phil Hartman spoofed this on SNL as different iterations of what soylent to use for the movie? "Soylent cowpie is people! People!!" XD
I remember seeing this movie as soon as it was released. It was actually the first movie I watched in Basic Training at Ft. Dix, NJ. at the theater at Ft. Dix. with a few new friends in my platoon. Imagine how many times we repeated lines and Solent Green, wearing green 24/7.
Great film
Awesome review/recap
This was a great movie. I remember it. "Soylent Green is people!"
Would black people be "Soylent Black" and white people "Soylent White", then? And Chinese people............?😮😮😮
My license plate frame says "tuesday is doylent green day".
Does it taste good?
It varies from person to person.
Nice!
They were about 50 years off but I think it's coming soon.
Classic. Reboot needed, but with care.
call me a monster but in the world we find described here, processing the dead into food for the living is the smart and moral thing to do.
The actor who played the older roommate Saul had a terminal illness at the time he was filming, which must have made it both hard and important to play a last role about a person facing end-of-life.
Delicious Soylent green 😋
SUCH A BLOODY BRILLIANT MOVIE...
Dont let two tier Keir see this, it will give him ideas
2022... well I guess we dodged that bullet.😊
...for now.
Because it is inevitable.
In a sooner or later. This might happen without anyone of us noticing it. 😢
People: "Litterally scooped up into a dustbin truck on a regular basis" Police: "Soylent green is made from people!" People: "Duh..."
Love the movie
they should remake it. Big potential
Oh boy, I love Historical Science Fiction.
Possibly the most prescient movie/book ever produced. From Harry Harrison's "Make Room, Make Room", the movie was loyal to the novel.
Soilent Green is People!
Yes... But it tasty!😋
“ Tell um, Soylent green is people “ !
Thats one way to control the population
You vill live in ze pod
You vill eat ze bugs
You vill own nothing and be happy
For the great reset
Production of MrBeast chocolate bars be like:
*So way ahead of its time.*
Ny needs this now
once when i was like seventeen a bunch of frends and I watched this after having had a monumental sesh... and we sat through like three hours of the movie because we heard the line where the guy running through the streets goes " soylent green is people! soylent green is people!" it was the last line in the movie, i watched it all for the las line. that was torture. the film is AMAZING but SLOOOOW
People aren’t eating people today, but this world is indeed eating itself alive. “Soylent Green is People!”
My friend drinks soylent lol
Hay. Don’t mock my drink.
@ericbrown8916 it's a good drink. Just so thick. It's the consistency of it that ruins it for me. But it has good flavor and nutritional value especially if you are a vegan
Does he look like the Soyjack meme..?
@joeblow229 nah. Super geeky but athletic dude who's into rock climbing, games and calisthenics. Interesting guy
@@ectomorph4987 That's cool, I appreciate that real life isn't always like the internet memes. I prefer whey protein, myself, avoid soy, but maybe it doesn't make as much of a difference as I thought.
Yeah! Who wants an Impossible Burger?
I wonder if the Robots movie was loosely based off this premise, with how the outmodes are scooped up and recycled into upgrades.
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?"
Soylent Green predicted California and NY to a T 😂
