SOYLENT GREEN

This is a classic sci-fi movie. Great for classrooms, often just the first 5 minutes.

It is set in New York City 2022, but since it was filmed in 1973, the futuristic technology isn't always impressive. But the problem society has is a result of Green House Gases - aka GLOBAL WARMING

I searched the internet and I didn't find any free worksheets for my students to use while watching the movie, so I came up with the questions below, so my fellow teachers - copy and paste!

1)What was main character's occupation?

2)What was his roommate’s occupation?

7)This movie was shot in 1973, but it is about the future. What technologies did they use in the movie to make it look futuristic? (name at least 3)

8)Name three technologies that are definitely missing because they probably didn't exist when the movie/book were written but are everywhere now?
