i saw soylent green back in 1973 when it be first release and maybe another eight time over the year on t. v. or video . it be always one of my favorite sci fi and or or charlton heston film . recently and the egyptian theater in l. a. have a twelve film charlton heston retrospective . i fly in from out of state to see six of the film over a two day period . soylent green look great on the large egyptian screen with a perfect new print . from it open montage to the go home scene to the great end the film be fantastic . charlton heston a a cop who live in a dog eat dog world with few natural resource leave and no understanding a to how the world use to be and eddie robinson a a man who remember the past be both great . their chemistry together be wonderful . the film also look so much well in a great 35mm print . fleisher really know how to fill the screen and and the cinematoraphy and writing and music use and and everything about it work . the film be also very powerful in it bleak and very possible view of the future . just think how the world population grow and the rain forest that disappear and resource use up and green house effect get bad since 1973. i just wonder why this film have not play in theater all these year . it reputation should be good . speaking of reputation and often people speak a if charlton heston be not a great actor . see him in el cid and soylent green and the warlord and the omega man and will penny and and major dundee back to back i be convince he be one of our best actor . of course he make about a dozen other great film and for those that care you know what they be .
