You're applying todays logic to a 40 year old movie. No one cared about little details like plot flaws back then. No one questioned what the sheets were for, so the directors did this because it looked cooler (& less likely to get censored) than a bunch of dead naked bodies on a conveyer belt. DUH! You might as well ask why the Lone Ranger's gun could fire forever and not need reloading, or why Superman stood fast while gangsters shot bullets but ducked when they threw the empty gun at him.
@lostcitybirds Its not a well acted movie but the message would hit home it did with me when I watched it as a young person. Seems to me it was made just for this occasion
This is one heck of a movie. Fortunately, we won't be at that point in 11 more years. But, it's still depressing to think about that ever happening. This movie makes you ponder about how our actions of today, might have a devastating impact tomorrow.
@onebaud i don't get it'...if soylent GREEN is from WHITE folk as you claim...then why would BLACKS be able to make chocolate chips?...should it be some other color...explain please logi....thanks.
@bitoffish See how close we are really getting to this "Van Jones, the Obama administration's controversial former "green jobs czar," has found a new calling: helping to push for a new, global architecture of environmental law that would give Mother Nature the same rights status as humans."
The "sheet" body bags are made of rice paper and therefore add a crispy texture to Soylent Green. Plus dropping raw naked product into the broth would be kind of gross, don't you think? Not to mention undignified.
seriously how how spaz is this part of the movie thanks for putting it to appropriate music, I hate how they have him running around looking at crap slowly putting shit together, a person of any common sense would have figured it out long before he had. also the whole thing just doesn't seem to fit with the rest of the movie apart from the soylent green its self bit
I thought it was weird that they just drop the people in there, skin, bone, clothes, sheet/bags and everything. I mean, if you ARE going to eat people (not advisable as it is likely to cause mad cow deciese for humans) shouldnt you at least use only the meat?
Like many of the other users, I am confused by the musical choice on this re-edit. It also appears that portions have been sped up to make them seem funnier, sort of like those british comedies. I believe I understand what this re-edit was trying to accomplish, but when one thinks of how conglomerate "animal factories" that supply much of the meat to the world are legally able to grind up and feed chickens to chickens, pigs to pigs, cows to cows etc, this re-edit just isn't funny.
What the hell is wrong with you people? For heaven sakes, those are perfectly good bodies, why let the go to waste? I mean, after you have done organ donations, autopsies, and all that medical science crap why let go to waste. Its delicious and highly nutritious food that otherwise would have been put in the ground to rott. Everyone loves recycling and going green, what difference does it make if its soda cans, plastic bottles, or people?
Spread the word... watch movies like Supersize Me, King Corn, The Future of Food, Food, Inc. I heard "Fast Food Nation" is a good book to read. It's unbelievable. Start buying organic. Stop eating _garbage_ food. Sure it doesn't bother you now, but in 50 years, when you stop being a consumer sheep the heart attack will come and remove you from the food chain. So that newer, younger consuming sheep can start buying and consuming.

It is interesting how factories are used as symbols of menace in movies. I am thinking of the finally to the 1st & 2nd Terminator movies. The factory has replaced the gothic old mansion as a symbol of terror.
They dump the whole body, wrapped into a liqification dis-solution tank where the body is chemically disintergrated into a mushy substance which is moved to further processing through the plant. The mushy substance is heated, cooled and ground up into a fine powder ,then a binding agent is added to the powder and finally made into large sheets and cut up into small squares.
Besides where ever did you ever see clean garbage trucks, like the ones in this flick ...HUH???!!
When I first watched this I hadn't yet seen the actual movie. I didn't know you added that music! Man, it would've been great if they'd actually used it, it seems so appropriate now!
Actually most of the movie will be coming true in about 10 years.,. Not the 2001 space odyssey future you thought it would be, huh folks?...bwahahahahaha
I think we've already been eating this shit in the UK for years. Much of what you get looks like that. But meanwhile we have two brands, the slightly darker biscuits are mixed with dead hedgehogs. Kinda spicier version. Real bummer when the spikier bits get stuck in your throat, i.e. haven't been disolved properly in the making... but then has any machinery made in UK ever been reliable?
In a couple of years...... Maybe Wal-Mart will open a store like this. Unlike today however, you'll only be allowed in if you are an official member of
@bitoffish Who is to say that the "sheets" were not made of a substance that was edible? Or, at least, digestible? Would make sense then, wouldn't it?
@VanorumPxZ5 My guess is that the tank processes all of the nutrients in the human body. Then the liquid is dehydrated - et viola - soylent green is people.
The sheets are a movie gimmick. The director knew that rolling live actors into a deep tank off a conveyor belt would be: 1) dangerous, and 2) over budget (he'd have to pay them). So he used mannequins. The sheets covered this up - a bit. I knew they were mannequins, but that isn't the point here.
@bg147 who told you that this was water? I would say it was an enzymatic fluid dissolving the bodies (and the wrapping too, which is made from starch).
R.I.P. Charlton Heston. Okay, maybe he turned into a right-wing nut at the end, but let's not forget the many great performances he gave during his film career.
Quite right , whatever his politics and they certainly weren't mine, he at least had the guts to publicly make a stand , unlike his passive detractors . Its his great performances and his civil rights campaigning he should be remembered for. He was still a great American.
What's the deal with the people still in body bags just being dropped into the food-processing area?? Did they actually grind up the bags WITH the people? Eating people disguised as some protein snack is bad enough, but I don't want plastic bag mixed in, too. Hm.
This is already happening today in North Korea... 2 million people starved to death in 10 years. They were selling human meat in the markets, testified to by many people who escaped the country.
I just though there would be more to it than old swing band music, which would have been funnier if you had of added some visuals to go with it, just the music alone I felt wasn't enough for a good joke.
i don't think adding visuals would make it more funny. the point is that the scene in itself is as ridiculous as the old looney tunes cartoons. so all it needed was the right soundtrack
@bitoffish Agreed. I think it's perfect as is. It really is pure genius, I didn't know WHAT the video was, I thought it was going to be a few cuts of Soylent Green with some explanation of why it makes no sense. Then I hear the Powerhouse slowly coming in and realize there is no more appropriate song for the scene. Both Hilarious and perfect. A+++
@bitoffish Stop calling it ridiculous because you don't believe in limits and provide some hard hitting logic and reason. Stop calling the messenger a name and debate the facts. You are not funny at all. Hahaha.
How does a pinky, fleshy human turn into a bunch och little green, paperthin wafers? The shape is of no concern, but the color? In the dystopian future they still use coloring methods for the food?
the plot was that the government and a private corporation conspired to trick the general public with a new product, Soylent Green. it was supposedly solving the food shortage problem because of the abundant Plankton source in the sea (a lie, they reveal that the sea is dying and can't yield enough food to feed the world). so, Soylent Green had to be green to resemble plankton from the sea, when of course it was really human protein fortifying the wafers.
i'm familiar with "Make Room, Make Room!" by Harry Harrison (he was allowed on set of "Soylent Green"). Film vs novel is that it delivers a Climax/Payoff - for entertainment AND a Warning. By 1973 they knew that in the US we were experiencing Negative population growth, NOT the overpopulation scenario (at least NOT in the US by 1999) predicted in 1966 by Harrison. The film DID follow the overpopulation aspect - combined with pollution, greenhouse effect , corporate/government/human greed.
I killed my girlfriend, cut her into pieces and deep fried her flesh. Human tastes like pork, with a bit more flavor. Maybe it was so sweet because my girlfriend was a sweety pie when she was alive I dunno. I liked it. The liver is delicious especially with some seasoning and salt. Boil it for best results.
One of the greatest "B" movies of all time. "SOYLENT GREEN IS PEOPLE!" Charleton is hilarious. I know it was made to be a serious movie but it has aged into a funny as hell flick today.
I actually found it quite scary, particularly the part when Charlton's character doesn't understand Sol's enthusiasm with lettice. Reminds me of many people today; They'd rather eat processed crap full of salt, sugar and preservatives than simple veggies and fruit.
@QT5656 : It was done to show that he was born and raised soley on things like soylent green. Introducing him to a piece of lettuce, the likes of which he never tried makes him wonder why Sol made a big deal over it. It stands to reason, you'd feel the same way as Sol, if one day all the vegetables, fruits and meats were gone and you tried to explain to a new generation what it was like to eat such items ,which no longer exist in abundant quantities and you'd remember so fondly.
people who have been starveing and turned to it. If you go to some remote place in Papua New Ginea, and are in the right place at the right time, you can try it
I think the cheerful music makes it all the more disturbing, because it is just such a "whistle while you work" kind of scenario...just everyday business as usual.
T. Turner: global warming could lead to cannibalism
Turner:"We'll be eight degrees hotter in 30 or 40 years and basically none of the crops will grow," Turner said with PBS's Charlie Rose that aired Tuesday.
the music for this sucked. i guess it was meant to be a joke, and intended to be funny, but it just was a nuisance. why don't people just post the clips we would like to see. why do they feel the need to edit and put in their own music or sound effects. it is just stupid...every fucking time...it is just stupid.
Just a note from Soylent Corp. We have a new CEO...Ted Tuner!
TURNER: "We're too many people. That's why we have global warming. We have global warming because too many people are using too much stuff. If there were less people, they'd be using less stuff." ...Let's make crackers out of people!! "Our crackers are good for you!"
I think most of the food coming from China in the U.S. is already Solyent Green. That's how China controls its overpopulation problem. Soylent Green is the official food of the 2008 Beijing Olympics.
Subtle and brilliant mockery of the highest order. Wish I had this on hand every time I've gotten into an argument with some ZPG clown who cites this movie as prophecy. "Western birth rates are declining" you tell them and "no they aren't!" is what you get back (because they've never bothered to look up the statistics).
The premise of the film is that by 2022, global warming has destroyed our ability to fed ourselves. With the ice caps vanishing in 5 years, is it ridiculous to think that by 2022, strawberries will be a distant memory?
I'm not saying we will be eating Soylent Green, but they resort to this only because the grain belt has become a desert.
>>>The premise of the film is that by 2022, global warming...
Nope. The premise of the film is a Malthusian crisis(although GW appears to be an ancillary effect of it). In the film's scenario over-population creates more consumers than available resources can support, thus denuding the landscape and transforming the United States into a vast urban slum. This idea is rather explicit in the film and yes, it is ridiculous.
How is that ridiculous? In the book, the US population has grown to 344 million, not much more than we are. Most people have moved to NYC because the dustbowl created by global warming. These all seems frighteningly possible.
this is scary...

The film DID follow the overpopulation aspect - combined with pollution, greenhouse effect , corporate/government/human greed.

The funny thing is you never see the bodies get turned into Soylent Green. For all we know they just make it in the same factory.

I killed my girlfriend, cut her into pieces and deep fried her flesh. Human tastes like pork, with a bit more flavor. Maybe it was so sweet because my girlfriend was a sweety pie when she was alive I dunno. I liked it. The liver is delicious especially with some seasoning and salt. Boil it for best results.

One of the greatest "B" movies of all time. "SOYLENT GREEN IS PEOPLE!" Charleton is hilarious. I know it was made to be a serious movie but it has aged into a funny as hell flick today.

I actually found it quite scary, particularly the part when Charlton's character doesn't understand Sol's enthusiasm with lettice. Reminds me of many people today; They'd rather eat processed crap full of salt, sugar and preservatives than simple veggies and fruit.

@QT5656 : It was done to show that he was born and raised soley on things like soylent green. Introducing him to a piece of lettuce, the likes of which he never tried makes him wonder why Sol made a big deal over it. It stands to reason, you'd feel the same way as Sol, if one day all the vegetables, fruits and meats were gone and you tried to explain to a new generation what it was like to eat such items ,which no longer exist in abundant quantities and you'd remember so fondly.

I think the cheerful music makes it all the more disturbing, because it is just such a "whistle while you work" kind of scenario...just everyday business as usual.

the music for this sucked. i guess it was meant to be a joke, and intended to be funny, but it just was a nuisance. why don't people just post the clips we would like to see. why do they feel the need to edit and put in their own music or sound effects. it is just stupid...every fucking time...it is just stupid.

I think most of the food coming from China in the U.S. is already Solyent Green. That's how China controls its overpopulation problem. Soylent Green is the official food of the 2008 Beijing Olympics.

Subtle and brilliant mockery of the highest order. Wish I had this on hand every time I've gotten into an argument with some ZPG clown who cites this movie as prophecy. "Western birth rates are declining" you tell them and "no they aren't!" is what you get back (because they've never bothered to look up the statistics).

The premise of the film is that by 2022, global warming has destroyed our ability to fed ourselves. With the ice caps vanishing in 5 years, is it ridiculous to think that by 2022, strawberries will be a distant memory?
I'm not saying we will be eating Soylent Green, but they resort to this only because the grain belt has become a desert.

>>>The premise of the film is that by 2022, global warming...
Nope. The premise of the film is a Malthusian crisis(although GW appears to be an ancillary effect of it). In the film's scenario over-population creates more consumers than available resources can support, thus denuding the landscape and transforming the United States into a vast urban slum. This idea is rather explicit in the film and yes, it is ridiculous.
DuckCasey 4 years ago 3
How is that ridiculous? In the book, the US population has grown to 344 million, not much more than we are. Most people have moved to NYC because the dustbowl created by global warming. These all seems frighteningly possible.
