Charlton Heston died yesterday evening in his home in Beverly Hills, CA. He was 84. You can read several obituaries in today’s newspapers (here, here, here) and the L.A. Times posted a nice photograph (here) on their webpage. Below the fold I include Heston’s memorable scene from Soylent Green.
Although it was not his most memorable role, I really enjoyed his performance in Soylent Green (1973). The movie depicts a bleak future in which the world is plagued by overpopulation and global warming. The environmental disaster leads to poverty, unemployment, and starvation. Food becomes rare, and much of the population survives on processed food, including wafers of “soylent green.”
To make a long story short, Thorn, played by Heston, figures out that the dead are being processed into the “green” wafers by the Soylent Corporation. After a shootout and heading to a cathedral, Thorn utters the famous words of the film “Soylent green is people!”
I really enjoyed his performance he is very great man what are great his all style .
