Re-watching this in 2022, the year the story takes place, turned out to be quite interesting:
Face masks, curfews, heat waves, supply shortages, hot showers being considered luxurious, paying 300 bucks for groceries, people eating soy all the time ...
Some things hit closer to home much more than when I last saw it about fifteen years ago.

Warsploitation at its worst. Doesn't do the book justice in any way. The 1930 film is vastly superior, as is "1917".Movie comment on Soylent Green

No, it's not subtle. But how can you be subtle when the President is a racist, peckerwood, redneck, inch worm, needle-dick motherfucker?Movie comment on Performance
