Soylent Green features one of Heston's greatest lines (out of a total of four).<br /><br />a) Soylent Green is - People!<br />b) Pharaoh, let my people go.<br />c) Get your hands off me you damned dirty apes.<br />d) They did it, they finally did it!Gargantuan Mediahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10847786498039464118noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16605980.post-83996617608141526252010-12-11T00:31:23.745+00:002010-12-11T00:31:23.745+00:00The title sequence is one of my all-time favourite...The title sequence is one of my all-time favourites. I love the way it speeds up, as "progress" itself speeds up. Probably the most impressive aspect of the film, art wise.<br /><br />There are so many great "moments" in the film; the butcher with his shabby cut of meat locked in a safe, Heston navigating the crowded stairs, the people scoops, and on and on.<br /><br />And, yes, the commentary probably should be just 97 minutes of "I told you so". Noone EVER listens!Reg Langfordhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08963138287172311425noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16605980.post-60118009359428145432010-12-10T19:26:05.219+00:002010-12-10T19:26:05.219+00:00Interesting; I hadn't realized the basis of th...Interesting; I hadn't realized the basis of the film was a novel.DGMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17296325082924633164noreply@blogger.com
