and what youliked about the film ?

don't just tell us the film name please !




because we might not have heard about or seen the film !

solient green!! I think is very realistic.

When people get tire of living, they are allowed to take their own lives, and dso to a world wide food shortage, people are rationed "solient green" made from the bidies of the euthanized people. Of course the people don't know this is what they are being fed.

Charleton Heston stars

Planet of the Apes.
Im sure everyone knows the story so I'll say no more.

I love science fiction films and somehow i missed solient green. Is it an old movie?

By the way I always liked War of the Worlds, the old one and the new one. even the t.v. show that used to be on.

Why can their not be others here that have taken over

ship, you and I must be twins who were separated at birth because once again I find myself in aggreement with you.

Soylent Green was an excellent movie and all too possible if the world human population bomb and global warming isn't brought under control. The film had a few innaccuracies though such as the scarcity of soap. Soap consisting mainly of lye & grease should be quite plentiful in the Soylent world, esp grease, think of all those bodies.

As usual Edward G Robinson stole every scene he was in. When he was dying on the gurney I had tears in my eyes, not so much for him but for the loss of everything beautiful about our mother earth. Coupled with such beautiful music, it was a powerful message that all too many people are not getting.

Another possible movie to reality IMO is Andromeda Strain and COMA. In fact COMA may already be happenning. There was just a show on TV about harvesting organs from people for transplants.

The Island.

I think, with the Youth illusion what our world has, it this very realistic. To breed clones only as Organ donor for us.

Excellent choices; I agree with both of you. Soylent Green was/ is a truly disgusting scenario...a similar solution to solve "world hunger" has actually been proposed years ago.
Another could be Brave New World or the book sequel Brace New World Revisited, which 2 or 3 Producers/ directors turned down for filming it as they found it too horrifying fearing not many people would like to see it on screen...

A lot of the classics Sci Fi are already reality: 1984, Brave New World(soma as prozac,etc)...

Several movies 'borrowed' from Gibson's Neuromancer novel--(and Hollywood is supposed to be trying to make it into a movie). The ideas of human to computer/to AI interface wet(human) ware connecting to hardware...biotech,etc.....

Take a look at 'Strange Days' or Johnny Mnemonic' to see some of his influence(his sprawl novels are the best--neuromancer, mona lisa overdrive, count zero; these and Neal Stephenson's Snow Crash and Diamond Age really have a savagely prophetic vision of our near future....).

For a little more distant future--13th Element.....

or maybe Dune.


I wish someone would try to film some of Jack Vance's novels....I think he may have the best 'future' history out there.

I view Soylent Green as a true horror movie...no slashing, stabbing, ghost, monsters, or goblins, yet horrible in it's implications.

I don't think the makers of the film had a vague idea, how real it could become. Or the impact it made on the world stage

Solvent Green was based on Harry Harrison's novel,' Make Room, Make Room'....I think it was published in the early 60's--it's a classic.

Most really good sci fi is 'horrific'.

Another fine novel(and made into a really bad movie) which will probably be coming true soon is Sheckley''s 10th Victim.....the real genius for TV's Survivor, only this people hunted each other! And you really didn't want to lose!

Or Philip K. Dick's Total Recall, or Scanner Darkly.
