Jim made reference to the movie Soylent Green am i and Jim the only ones that remember this movie?
Made in 1973 i was 15 years old at the time i saw it. Its one of the only movies thats stuck with me my whole life. Made a huge impact. When i got to travell to Eastern Europe back when it first opened up and saw some of the industrial areas Soylent green kept on haunting me.
Then when i get served those colored prawn crackers at a Chinese restaurant i always think of Soylent Green and Soylent orange. Add to the fact that since the movie was made the population of the world increased by around another 2 billion and somehow the movie starts to take on more relevance as a look into the future.
Jim i have never forgotten the images of Edward Robinson going into that huge dome and lying down to watch a movie showing deer in the green fields and recieving a glass of his favorite wine before popping off an being converted into Soylent green.
Some of the images of protests in the Arab world bring back many movie images.
This movie stick with anyone else? Would not mind having it erased from my mind.
