Watch it because it's a great movie. Not because someone with agenda is trying to sway you.

Logan's Run is pretty good too for an interesting take on a post-apocalyptic world.

Climate change, income inequality, and consumerism are all themes of the movie. Pointing that out in a recommendation isn't pushing an agenda. It's just saying what the movie is about

No no no, you misunderstand. Movies don’t have themes or subtext. Maybe you’re watching movies wrong? You’re supposed to stare at the screen for 2 hours with your mouth agape, drooling. You’re not supposed to think, nerd!

I saw Soylent Green for the first time last year and was surprised how good it was! I recommend it. Also, Logan’s Run is a cool movie - though I started losing interest when Peter Ustinov appeared. Not because of him; he’s a great actor, but because I was ready for the movie to end. That last act was unnecessary, imo.
