I think I already know. This movie we saw when we were "young and super active" always comes to mind. In fact, my husband and I kid about it all the time..........that's how we will end up.....slowly moving towards that big panoramic movie screen with the gorgeous scenery...........and then what? I don't think it's a wood chipper machine. Hopefully not.

I think I still prefer to exit on "my own terms"......not gliding into oblivion......

SOYLENT GREEN:
""Richard Fleischer directed this nightmarish science fiction vision of an over-populated world, based on the novel by Harry Harrison."

"In 2022, New York City is a town bursting at the seams with a 40-million-plus population. "

"Food is in short supply, and most of the population's food source comes from synthetics manufactured in local factories -- the dinner selections being a choice between Soylent Red, Soylent Yellow, or Soylent Green."

"When William Simonson (Joseph Cotten), an upper-echelon executive in the Soylent Company, is found murdered, police detective Thorn (Charlton Heston) is sent in to investigate the case. Helping him out researching the case is Thorn's old friend Sol Roth (Edward G. Robinson, in his final film role). "

"As they investigate the environs of a succession of mad-from-hunger New Yorkers and the luxuriously rich digs of the lucky few, Thorn uncovers the terrible truth about the real ingredients of Soylent Green. ~ Paul Brenner, Rovi "

SPOILER ALERT: Close your eyes.

Soylent Green is People.

Yikes.



















I did not say younger. Just an active lifestyle community.
As to the rest of your reply.........I have no idea the relevance to this thread.
