...you aren’t all that shocked by the shocking revelation that, yes, soylent green is people. This movie is still pretty watchable though. Some highlights for me:
- the fact that in 2022 they have amazing videogames where you shoot at rockets with pixels.
- How our man Thorn is stealing and using someone else’s ‘furniture’ but is somehow still the honorable cop.
- riot control through scoops. very inventive. Don’t know why our police squad didn’t think of that. Especially like the blood splattering scene at the end there.
- The wonderfully fake blood.
- The ceremony for the dying. Nice to know they get some nice images and classical music before becoming green chips.
- The scene with the bodies covered in sheets rolling down the conveyor. Creepy. Really.
