Soylent Green
(12/20/2007)
One of the best science fiction films of all time, the cult movie Soylent Green is based on the novel Make Room, Make Room by Harry Harrison.
It portrays our world in a dark and disturbing future. In the 21st century, the Earth faces serious problems such as overcrowding and lack of food.
This film is fairly stated, especially for its surprise ending and the remarkable performance of Edward G. Robinson(Double Indemnity – 1944, The Stranger – 1946, Key Largo - 1948, The Ten Commandments - 1956), in his last performance.
