that part near the end when sol goes to die and they show all the pictures of how the world used to be... i cry at that part every time.

That's an intense scene. Thorn honestly never knew that the world used to be beautiful. Well, a lot of it anyway.
I always thought his name was Saul, but I looked it up and you're right; it's Sol. I have been educated!

I own the movie. However, the only time I watched it I was drinking steadily throughout and wasn't paying much attention. I do remember yelling "IT'S PEEEEEOOOPPPPLLLLEEE!!" in a drunken stupour at the end, though.
Maybe I should actually watch it sober one of these days. That, and Logan's Run.

No.
Honestly though, I always thought Soylent Green felt hella long. I mean, I hate to play to the whole "People today have such short attention spans!" stereotype, but it kills me how there's so many movies from the '70s always managed to meander along and make an hour and a half film feel like three hours.

So how many ways were there to eat Soylent Green anyway?
yelley:
i agree alex.... i haven't watched it in quite a while, but i remember feeling like the movie is a few memorable scenes with long stretches of low action between them. seeing the overpopulation, the people in line for soylent green, thorn stealing the food, thorn and sol eating the food, sol dying, thorn discovering that soylent green is people. that's the whole movie, pretty much.
