What is a person, can I eat it?

It was the movie that a foreign teacher of human geography watched when he was talking about population. (Because it was given by a foreign teacher, I watched it in English.) The details of this movie are really well done. The identity of the character and even the character can be clearly reflected in the clothes. The background furnishings are very careful. The actor's acting skills are naturally nothing to say. Although the action scene in it is fake and the emotional processing of the hero and the heroine is also very abrupt, it is a good movie overall. The plot is very compact. I really felt depressed when I watched it, especially when I saw people being shoveled into a car, and when Thorn saw Sol's body being thrown into a garbage truck-like car. It's like showing people that this society never treats people as "people". (Sol was touched when he died.) The gap between the rich and the poor is too big, and the lives of the poor are worthless. I haven't read a novel. The fiction party will feel that the film is not well-made, which is sure to happen. But the movie has its limitations. It can't explain all the things that can be shown in many words in just 100 minutes. Therefore, I can only treat it as a distopia if I have only watched a movie.

    New Hollywood’s enthusiastic political thriller, setting the time in the future and assuming that most people have never tasted fresh food is a good idea. The audience's own food needs and love can completely substitute for the protagonist's hunger; and the appropriate warning role: hand over the world to those terrible politicians and businessmen, and your future is not far away.

    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.
