Soylent Green
Art of the Title would like to give thanks. At the centerpiece of your meal remember, the Thanksgiving holiday is about people. And so, “Soylent Green.”
Sequence editor Chuck Braverman, known for his flash frame kinestasis montage/films, opens director Richard Fleischer’s film adaptation of “Soylent Green” with images of the blossoming bourgeoisie. The plague of population pressures is then conveyed with such surehanded conviction that you believe, we all believe, just how easily the cookie crumbles.
