Soylent Green
"It's people. Soylent Green is made out of people. They're making our food out of people. Next thing they'll be breeding us like cattle for food. You've gotta tell them. You've gotta tell them!" - Detective Thorn
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.
