This scene always made be cry. Edward G. Robinson had told Charlton Heston that he was terminally ill before shooting this scene, thus, Heston's tears are real.
One of the best scenes I have ever seen. I was about to post it myself when I saw someone already had. Many of you share my view that our grandchildren may have to see movies to see beautiful nature. Whoever designed this scene was brilliant. The best movie scene ever. And the music, a perfect choice. Again, brilliant.
when I read WilsonNorthEast up there, I'm inspired by the Python (Monty) skit... Eric Idle: ... Well done, Karl! One final question, and that beautiful non-materialistic lounge suite will be yours! Ready, Karl? You're a brave man. Your final question: Who won the English Football Cup in 1949? Karl Marx: Uhuh, the workers' control of means of production? The-the struggle of the urban proletariat? Eric Idle: Uh, no, it was Wolverhampton Wanderers who beat Lester 3-1.
@kmg4 He goes to the facility ( called Home) to commit suicide. There, he fills out some forms choosing the music he wishes to hear & his favourite colour ( orange) for the lighting. He's given poison to drink & after making sure he will get a full 20 minutes ( it's guaranteed), lies down & drinks it.

@kmg4 The drink is handed to him by the attendant, he raises it to his lips & drinks it, it isn't forced on him. The centre is considered a euthanasia facility, where people that are ready to die can go to end their lives peacefully.

It's a shame we have no control over how we leave the world. It'd be great to be surrounded by favorite music, images, colors, food, etc. To exit the world with beauty and dignity, rather than pain and sickness.
I wouldn't even care if they used me to make Soylent Green.
If I get Alzheimer's Disease or some other horrible degenerative disease that comes with old age, I'd love to have a room like this one to drink poison and die. But please, please don't let Dick Van Patten preside over my death . . . that would be terrible.
@rengiil777 It's no accident, the piece is called "Pastoral" based on Beethoven's travels in the countryside. Nature literally was his inspiration for this piece.
This is assisted suicide done right. Hopefully one day people at the end of their life will have an option like this. If only we as a people can move beyond the dark ages and religious dogma.
That, and the dinner table scene were the best parts of the movie. I recall flipping through Heston's autobiography and the affection between them was real. It's especially poignant because Edward G. Robinson was dying for real and everyone knew this was his last hurrah. According to legend, Robinson died the day after filming this scene.
You are seeing what choice you'll get from the Obama Healthcare Death Panels. One difference, you won't get to see a cute little bambi prancing around bubbling brooks, but instead you have to endure Obama campaign speeches on an I-Pod.
Yes. Welcome to what those lovely people have waiting for us! See how they can get us on both ends of life. When you are too much to afford. You get this. ( I hope I get some great meds!) They will get the ones who are non perfect in their eyes before they even get to see a deer or a fish. Welcome to Obama care! Lets get out the Zyclon B! Yay! Real steaks for all the worthy ones! Are those real skin lamp shades? They are just adorable!
homecare robots will reduce the worlds population, because goverments in the past e.g. today base everything on the ageing population because you needed people in the past to care for them. before homecare robots come out.
yeah i remember this movie when i was a little kid. i'm still waiting for the ice age and mass starvation the environmentalist's warned us about that was supposed to happen in the 1980's. advanced wealthy societies are cleaner than primitive,poor ones. geta grip people.
@madmike19682003 "advanced wealthy societies are cleaner than primitive,poor ones." - this statement is so false it's not even funny. Only someone who has no idea of the impact that mining, fishing, deforestation and agriculture have on the planet could make such a statement. It's sad that you don't realize what kind of processes produced the bounty you enjoy - sad because your ignorance is so incredibly destructive.
@astazangasta go to a poor third world country then a industrialized one and say that. your ignorance shows you must not travel much. you must also not know much about world history as lifespans have been steadily increasing as quality of life gets better. read more books. you might learn something.
This is one of the most beautiful sequences and most poignant commentaries on how we are fucking up the planet. When Charlton Heston breathes "How could I know? How could I ever imagine?" we should all hang our heads in shame — his is the voice of unborn generations who will never know the true splendor of the once beautiful Planet Earth.
Over population is caused by cars. A man who has need for 20.000kg O2 replaces fotoynthesis by consuming O2. Building streets and houses worldwide nobody is promised to have 19% Oygen to breathe till he dies.
Car sounds similar to Ka, Auto, the latin word, targets to the same meaning.
You must decide wether to live in an environment or in the world. The decision is:
@SgtThom Increasing population is a decision. There a plans to fill up our planet with 1.000.000.000.000 inhabitants. A desaster like Coruscant, by "Saturn" advertisement shown in german TV. In the 1970ties I got to know the imagination of an all-town planet, suggestet by "Sparkasse"-posters. To consider this redicolous is a big mistake, this plans aren´t payed just for fun. Avoiding this szenario, you´ll be considered an enemy of mankind by this guys. How many people do you accept per Km²?
@bldude2 Yes, this is the whole truth. Agriculture is nothing else than militarised gardening. Imperium Romanae was ruined by Latifundiae. This succes made them selfconscious enaugh to ruin the whole planet.
It is really difficult to remember how the world was suckered in by this over population twaddle. This is why I find so impossible to listen to the chicken littles about imaginary global warming today. This is especially true as I sit here shivering in 20 degree temps.
The really sick thing is that we can do this TODAY! We can show our own children pictures of vanished landscapes and vanished species that they will never get to see except in videos!

And how after the 70s the issue of overpopulation was ostracized? EIGHT IS WAY WAY TOO MUCH! Stop having so many damn children. Our planet is dying. Get a clue.

@lcpdesign they have to be out of sync to prevent the copyright holder from finding/removing the video. If it's that important to you, might I suggest you PAY to buy/rent a legitimate copy? Is that too much to ask? Really?
Sincerely,
someone who makes his living in commercial film production - or used to.
@orchidtender I have my DVD thank you very much. They sound/video out of sync due to incompetence no more nor less. If you are concerned for the 'copyright holder'', people are far more likely to buy this film after seen a snippet such as this, with accompanying comments. There are only so many people I can personally recommend this film to and I don't see many adverts for it...
@lcpdesign you will find that people intentionally unsync the video and sound on my youtube clips (as well as flipping them, etc) because it makes it more difficult for the copyright holder's snoops to find it, and because by altering the original soundtrack it can be argued (in legal terms) that it is an original work - a constitutionally-protected "fair use" re-working of the original work. Would it stand up in court? I don't know, but that's what many people who upload to YouTube believe.
The one thing this film suggests is that the entire infrastructure of the world has collapsed, there is nothing functioning except humans, in the 60's they made predictions of over population in the future but this film suggests we have literaly reverted back to literal caveman times, no power, no transportation, no farmlands, etc .Death is a view, music and glass of hemlock .
Besides in any film ever made in the 20th century can you honestly say you have seen garbage trucks that clean.....HuH?
The UN estimates by 2050 the world population will be between 9-10 billion! How are we going to employ, house and feed all these people? I believe this scene will come true someday, probably India and China being the first to institute these suicide centers to relieve social burdens.
I can't watch this scene without weeping , the acting is SO emotive and powerful...Heston in one of his final interveiws found it difficult to talk about Eddie Robinson's performance without the tears welling up....
@omegaman59 I was about to write a lengthy comment. But I get too carried away every time I watch this scene. It's so, so achingly beautiful and touching and it speaks to me so much.
I'm not a picky person, just don't feel like eating a hamburger or anything that are mass produced because that might have been someone's love ones, or could have been your parents, masseur, fiancée, an idiot, an old couple, your grandma or simply anything that walks with two nice pair of legs...that just doesn't sit well with me. It's happening now...and in future.

You know what would be metal as shit is if after the guy dies, the bed tips up dumping him into a giant garbage desposal unit in the floor, then the slaw gets put into cans that say spegettio's.
The future is not hurtling towards anything. It is whatever we make of it. People on here have this huge fatalist, conspiracy-theory laden mindset that leads to this type of thinking. We are in control of our own destinies. To say anything else is to deny responsibility for the continuity and well-being of the our species and planet.
We're an intelligent species, but we're also greedy, ignorant and irritable. Because of that, there's always going to be people stepping out of line in society, including those in power, and there may never be true peace.
I used to share your hopefullness for humanity. I also wish that our salvation was simply a matter of love and self control. But due to the human condition, it seems that we're never all going to be happy, and faith in society to make life less cruel seems futile.
I've been waiting to hear someone say something like this. Bravo. And how cool reading this on the heals of hearing Chris Ecclesten in The Second Coming in the scene "You Lot" - the Orbital remix and the orginal video segment on YouTube. As he says and you offer, "responsibility" is key. Thank you.

Like the" War on Terror" , is now "Overseas contingency" there going to have to change the name , we are hip to Soylent Green.
As far as I learned so far, Soylent Green is people. that's how they produce them for food. they produce cows for Hamburgers and Steak, why not produce people and call it "Soylent Green"? sooner in 2022, we're going to bne out of food and have to eat people.
Charlton Heston's sadness in this scene was genuine - he was the only person on the film set who knew that Edward G. Robinson had terminal cancer. He died less than two weeks after they finished filming.
Is that Dick van Patten?

oh wow, Dick Van Patten was in this! In addition to the dad on 8 is Enough, he had a small part in a lot of Mel Brooks movies and Weird Al Yankovic videos.

Definitely the best scene in the movie, but I don't think I would have picked orange as my death color, maybe a soothing blue or green....

I think it should be "Die Moldau" (Moldova?) composed by Smetana,
it's a composition to a river with this name

FFS is it TOO much to ask that the fucking sound and visuals are in sync? In this day and age too much to ask? Really? WTF!

@lcpdesign they have to be out of sync to prevent the copyright holder from finding/removing the video. If it's that important to you, might I suggest you PAY to buy/rent a legitimate copy? Is that too much to ask? Really?
Sincerely,

@orchidtender I have my DVD thank you very much. They sound/video out of sync due to incompetence no more nor less. If you are concerned for the 'copyright holder'', people are far more likely to buy this film after seen a snippet such as this, with accompanying comments. There are only so many people I can personally recommend this film to and I don't see many adverts for it...
lcpdesign 8 months ago
@lcpdesign you will find that people intentionally unsync the video and sound on my youtube clips (as well as flipping them, etc) because it makes it more difficult for the copyright holder's snoops to find it, and because by altering the original soundtrack it can be argued (in legal terms) that it is an original work - a constitutionally-protected "fair use" re-working of the original work. Would it stand up in court? I don't know, but that's what many people who upload to YouTube believe.

Thank you for supporting the film industry by buying legitimate copies of great works such as this.

The one thing this film suggests is that the entire infrastructure of the world has collapsed, there is nothing functioning except humans, in the 60's they made predictions of over population in the future but this film suggests we have literaly reverted back to literal caveman times, no power, no transportation, no farmlands, etc .Death is a view, music and glass of hemlock .
Besides in any film ever made in the 20th century can you honestly say you have seen garbage trucks that clean.....HuH?

The UN estimates by 2050 the world population will be between 9-10 billion! How are we going to employ, house and feed all these people? I believe this scene will come true someday, probably India and China being the first to institute these suicide centers to relieve social burdens.

The future is not hurtling towards anything. It is whatever we make of it. People on here have this huge fatalist, conspiracy-theory laden mindset that leads to this type of thinking. We are in control of our own destinies. To say anything else is to deny responsibility for the continuity and well-being of the our species and planet.
bokanovskyprocess 2 years ago 4
We're an intelligent species, but we're also greedy, ignorant and irritable. Because of that, there's always going to be people stepping out of line in society, including those in power, and there may never be true peace.
I used to share your hopefullness for humanity. I also wish that our salvation was simply a matter of love and self control. But due to the human condition, it seems that we're never all going to be happy, and faith in society to make life less cruel seems futile.

I've been waiting to hear someone say something like this. Bravo. And how cool reading this on the heals of hearing Chris Ecclesten in The Second Coming in the scene "You Lot" - the Orbital remix and the orginal video segment on YouTube. As he says and you offer, "responsibility" is key. Thank you.

As far as I learned so far, Soylent Green is people. that's how they produce them for food. they produce cows for Hamburgers and Steak, why not produce people and call it "Soylent Green"? sooner in 2022, we're going to bne out of food and have to eat people.

Charlton Heston's sadness in this scene was genuine - he was the only person on the film set who knew that Edward G. Robinson had terminal cancer. He died less than two weeks after they finished filming.
