Wasn't Soylent Green another one of those futuristic movies that took care of older people?

 

[Kellydelly]

Great movie!

 

[Mrs. Darcy]

Wasn't Soylent Green another one of those futuristic movies that took care of older people?

I LOVE that one, too!

But that future does NOT remind me of the Contemporary. lol

Here's a Soylent Green question: what flavor jelly was on the spoon?

 

[Mrs. Darcy]

And here's another Logan's Run question: what did the little girl steal from Jessica?

 

[Deb & Bill]

I remember when they filmed that movie in Dallas and Fort Worth. The fountain scene at the end was filmed in Fort Worth. The fountain was rather new at the time. A lot of the movie was filmed at a mall in Dallas.

 

[Shutterbug]

I read the book...lol

And here's another Logan's Run question: what did the little girl steal from Jessica?

Soylent Green is supposed to be us in the year 2022. What do you think?

 

[The Mystery Machine]

Soylent Green is supposed to be us in the year 2022. What do you think?

First, I think that this movie is one that is still ahead of it's time. For me, it is work of pure genius.

I am really drawn to the lack of resources of food and water as something that is pretty certain in the future. Particularly the lack of clean water. That is already happening here in the USA.

There are towns here in MO for example that has "contaminated" water and people still live there. They have to buy bottled water to cook and drink with.

You can go look at Russia and the people that live in the aftermath of Chernobyl in the "exclusion zone". The live and eat radioactivity. Who knows what the fallout from that is going to be? (pun intended )

Then huge areas out west with water restrictions for many yrs now.

To be honest, REAL CLEAN water no longer exists for use by people. Now maybe somewhere up in the mountains but even then it is no longer pure, really.

I know you have springs and wells but I don't think they are "pure" anymore either.

Logan's Run is one of my favorite movies! I was 8 when it came out. I remember thinking when they went to Carousel, "30 is so old! They've lived a long life." Now that I'm 42 not so much.

 

[Mrs. Darcy]

What was the zodiac year (sign) during the carousel Logan and Francis went to?

 

[Shutterbug]

All those springs and wells have never been "pure". And what's your definition of "clean"? Free of bacteria, germs and viruses or just pretty, because, remember, both of those were in very short supply until this century.

And the areas out west with water restrictions. . .well. Depends on where you're talking about as to what you're talking about. Could you be more specific? Some areas that currently have water never should've had water and now we're dealing with a short-term fallout.

I think, over all, we're much better off as a species as per clean drinking water and water for use in agriculture and industry than we were 100 years ago or even 50 years ago, really. Some localities have it harder, obviously, but generalizing over the entire planet, I'd say things are much better than they were in the mid 1950's.
