Soylent Green

In 2022, the earth has been destroyed to a certain extent by over-industrial production and over-population pollution. The village has been polluted and cannot live in, and is controlled by the government. People can only crowd in the city. Fresh food, such as fresh vegetables, meat, and fruits are very scarce, and only rich/powerful people can afford it. Ordinary people/ Ordinary people can only afford to eat Soylent Green, a biscuit produced by the Soylent Green Food Production Company, which the government distributes for free every Tuesday. The company advertised in the media that the biscuits were made of sea water and soybeans. Soybean = SOY, the color of the biscuits was green, so it was called Soylent Green.
A policeman living in New York found it by accident while investigating a murder case. Secrets of the government and Soylent Green.

    There are almost no characters and stories to speak of. The slow rhythm and low energy fit the created apocalyptic scene, but in some paragraphs, the relationship between the characters is also in a state of stagnation for a long time, or the rhythm can't be kept up and the rhythm has turned sharply, which is also mixed. There is a contradiction in a love scene that lacks logic, that is, the setting directly satirizes the objectification of women, while in the story and vision, there is consumption and stereotyped treatment of the female image. Even so, this film also has a strong social character in the presentation of the end-time scene. The display of living conditions is not limited to the binary opposition between the bourgeoisie and the bottom. The bottom layer of the accomplices of the upper class has been clearly differentiated, and a complete visual representation system has been formed. The clothing also involves the political satire of the Cold War. The sky on the street is always green, the truth about the so-called "green food" in the title of the photo, and the only green plants in the world have become the private collection of the ruling class, and the color theme can run through every corner to detract from the title.

    Hatcher: I promise, Tiger. I promise. I'll tell the Exchange.

    Det. Thorn: You tell everybody. Listen to me, Hatcher. You've gotta tell them! Soylent Green is people! We've gotta stop them somehow!

  • Hatcher: And what about the furniture?

    Det. Thorn: [motions to chest] Like grapefruit.

    Hatcher: [chuckles] You never saw a grapefruit.

    Det. Thorn: You never saw her.
