Soylent Green.....1973.....

Watching my DVR’d copy…….funny, they’re talking about the end of the world in 2020, people wearing masks like the Covid masks, pollution, not enough to eat and only the rich can have the most normal things. Forgot a lot of this movie.

1. The thing about that movie...

That I found severely disappointing was that Charlton Heston was in it.

2. I know, trying very hard to get past him......hard to do tho.....

he’s the main damn character.

4. Well, if it in any way helps, try and think about the 1960's version of Charlton Heston

as you watch the movie:



It's too bad what he became later because he was once a very decent person.

6. I recognize Belafonte and Baldwin

But who is that behind Brando?


(Heston was pretty good in Omega Man, though I still prefer Vincent Price as The Last Man on Earth.)

9. I think it's Peter Lawford.

At least, it kind of looks like him, but I can't be certain.

[JoseBalow]

10. Hard to tell

I thought it might be Burt Lancaster, but I have my doubts.

What was the event?

[Xavier Breath]

12. That's from The March on Washington.

Yeah, I can see that as Burt, too.

[JoseBalow]

14. Oh, Burt Lancaster WAS there!

He lists so many other famous attendees, more actors were there than Oscars Night

[Xavier Breath]

15. Well, then I don't think that's him in the photo.

In that image of the Youtube video he's wearing a light jacket, and the person from my photo is wearing a dark jacket. Looks like the mystery will live on.

[JoseBalow]

16. I agree

The hair doesn't look right either. Maybe just some random, but they sure do look like him!

[JoseBalow]

3. But it also had Edward G. Robinson

to balance it out... so, net zero?

[2naSalit]

5. Pretty much.

[a kennedy]

7. He was actually the star really, he was perfection in this movie......

[JoseBalow]

8. I agree, he really did shine in his performance here

For someone with such a long and distinguished career, he was very underrated in this IMO. I feel like some of his very best work was done when he wasn't playing a gangster.

[a kennedy]

11. This was actually his last movie he was in.......

[JoseBalow]

13. Oh, I didn't know that

A bit ironic, don't you think?
