This is an iconic film that has worked it's way into popular culture. You probably already know the end, but I won't ruin it here anyway. 50yrs in and this is still an important film.
I find it weird how people assume it's depiction of "furniture" aka prostitutes in the film itself are mysogo istic, and here's why. 1. It's never payed positively, this is a dystopia, why would you think it covers the abuse of women? It's trying to expose woman as being merely sex objects. 2. There is a massive outrage against anyone who condemns prostitutes, so why would you be against these women's chosen vocation? They get the best of life because of being prostitutes. If being a prostitute is so great, why be so negative when largely this a realistic portrayal? These women offer a service and get a higher lifestyle than almost ordinary people, according to the film. These women are clearly empowered, but it comes at a price.
What is so neat about this film is that it shows how even in 1973, they were pushing the overpopulation and global warming garbage. Weird, it still hasn't happened. How many dates are we past now?
I love Charleton Heston's commitment to the t role, I doubt he agreed with the overall message, but he was an actor. Something modern actors should learn from. It's a job. You're acting, you don't have to agree with what your character believes or the movie.
This movie makes a very disturbing change from the book, and it's highly intriguing. I say that because it involves older people. It's sad, because honestly we often view older people as parasitic, but this film pisses the idea that the stories they tell about the past is indeed valuable.
This movie is indeed a spectacular. You'll either love it or hate it, the acting is good, keep when it was made in mind, yes that matters. The set designs, the griminess, the costumes, it's all very well done. The ending is not so exaggerated as it seemed as a child, because if I found out what he found out, is be way more hysterical than he was.
This is a good movie, it can be cheesy, but it's well thought out, and superbly executed. It is definitely one of the best sci-fi films of the 1970's, even if you don't like it or agree with it.
