SOYLENT GREEN


Here is some info and the classic film to watch!!! Enjoy! I know I am not here much but I like to post things that are interesting or make you think...so enjoy!!! THIS IS AWESOME!!!~~~~~~~Amanda

Trailer


Set in the year 2022, Soylent Green depicts a dystopian future in which the population has grown to forty million in New York City alone. The water and soil have been poisoned, and pollution has produced a year-round heatwave due to a greenhouse effect. Most housing is dilapidated and overcrowded, and food as it is known today is a rare and expensive commodity.

Most of the population are fed by the Soylent Company, which produces several types of rations including Soylent Red and Soylent Yellow, which are advertised as "high-energy vegetable concentrates". The newest product is Soylent Green: A small green wafer which is advertised as being produced from "high-energy plankton". It is in short supply, and is only distributed on Tuesdays. When the supply runs out, rioting is common.

Robert Thorn (Charlton Heston) is a New York City police detective who lives in a cramped one-room apartment with his aged partner Sol Roth (Edward G. Robinson). Roth is a "police book" — a researcher — who helps Thorn's investigations by reading whatever books he can get his hands on.

Thorn is assigned to investigate the murder of William R. Simonson (Joseph Cotten), who he discovers was a director of the Soylent Corporation. Simonson was a wealthy man and Thorn helps himself to some of Simonson's food and books during his investigation. Thorn meets Shirl (Leigh Taylor-Young), a concubine (euphemistically known as "furniture") who is economically attached to the apartment, and Tab Fielding (Chuck Connors), Simonson's bodyguard who is secretly working for Soylent.

Thorn determines that Simonson's death was made to look like a robbery, but was actually an assassination. He eventually uncovers a conspiracy which goes beyond Simonson's murder. The Governor talks to Thorn's chief (Brock Peters) and tries to have the investigation ended, but Thorn refuses to give up. Thorn finds himself followed and ultimately attacked while on riot duty.

When he returns to speak with Shirl, she confesses that a new tenant is moving in and she is worried he won't want her. Thorn comforts her and she asks him if she can live with him instead. Unsure of his own safety, he refuses.

In the meantime, Roth goes over oceanographic reports from Simonson's apartment with other intellectuals at the "supreme exchange" and uncovers the truth about Soylent Green.
