Soylent Green

What strikes you about the film?

What really struck me about this movie is the fact that our society is really not that different from the society in Soylent Green. In fact the Soylent Green society seems like a real possibility if the people on this Earth continue on the course of Global Warming. This has been a problem of the world for a very long time. We have been polluting the world with no regrets. It has taken individuals to start us on the course we are on to stop polluting the Earth. I believe that people can stop Global Warming but we can not just have individuals working on it, everyone has to work on it. In Soylent Green, Global Warming became so bad that animals went extinct, fruit and vegetables became a rare treat, and people were eating these crackers that were made out of dead human flesh. The people who were eating it did not know this, but they still ate it. The people on this Earth can not let it get this bad. We must put an end to Global Warming or we are all doomed to a fate of needing to eat each other to survive.

  1. I like how you related the society in "Soylent Green" to our society now with the Global Warming Crisis. I completely agree with you in having everyone help with the crisis so that it can be stopped.
