I'm pretty sure that the Recycling Tanks aren't like Soylent Green or anything gross like that. It's more like this:
The corpse is rendered and seperated into its component parts: organs, skin, bones, brains, undigested food, and so on. Each is used for different products, depending on the need. For the most part, though, and for the purposes of the game, the bodies can be said to be converted into fertalizer for the hydroponic farms, water for drinking (hey, we drink purified water from all kinds of sources), and the organ bank.

It was relatively cheaply made, but as a vision of an overpopulated urban dystopia it's not bad.
Edward G. Robinson is the best part of the film- Charlton Heston does his usual 'Statue of Moses' thang.
'Rollerball', the original, has the edge, for sheer paranoia, but the claustrophobic feel of 'Soylent Green' and the polluted air and people sleeping on stairwells and down stairways is not bad.

Two more films about recycling humans (from the same story by Richard Matheson) are ' The Last Man On Earth' starring Vincent Price, and the better known 'Omega Man' starring wood(en) Chuck Heston (again).
quote:
Robert Neville is the last living man on Earth . . . but he is not alone. Every other man, woman, and child has become a vampire, and they are all hungry for Neville's blood.
By day, he is the hunter, stalking the sleeping undead through the abandoned ruins of civilization. By night, he barricades himself in his home and prays for the dawn.
How long can one man survive in a world full of vampires?
I Am Legend has been filmed as The Last Man on Earth starring Vincent Price (1964) and The Omega Man starring Charlton Heston (1971). This volume contains the complete novel plus several more unforgettable tales by Richard Matheson.

A review of the rarely seen 'Last Man':
quote:
This movie far exceeded my admittedly low expectations. You know this isn't your ordinary mid-sixties black and white horror film -- a clear inspiration for Night of the Living Dead and 28 Days Later -- or your typical over-the-top Vincent Price performance. It opens with a bleak cityscape, a post-apocalyptic vision of burned out cars and corpses. Something awful has happened, and we soon learn that Vincent Price's character is the last survivor of a plague that has turned humanity into a race of vampires ... prowling at night in search of blood and repelled by garlic (an allergic reaction) and mirrors. The story is based upon Richard Matheson's I Am Legend (which is fast, interesting read), and he co-wrote the screenplay.
Is it perfect? No. Price's performance is a bit too effeminate to be totally effective as a "one man against the world" story. And some of the trappings -- the garlic, the mirrors, the crosses -- take away from the the effort to paint this as a "realistic" plague story. Still, it is modern, literate and engaging.

It made me think more about Fight Club soap than those horror movies.

Yes, this discussion is about Recycling Tanks, and its function as stated by Chairman Yang, that every citizen must go to the tanks. We attampt here to understand the cultural background that lead Chairman to accept use of Recycling Tanks in this way
