 | | In films such as Planet of the Apes (1968), Soylent Green (1973), and The Omega Man (1971), Heston played the only man who was strong enough, smart enough, and had enough moxie to do what normal Homo sapiens could never dream of. |
 | | Although generally considered inferior, Last Man is actually a stronger movie than Omega Man and follows its own logic much better, without the distractions of big special effects, confusing symbolism, or baffling Heston-isms delivered grimly through a clenched jaw. |
 | | While we can certainly forgive Lisa, her groovy outfits, her Black Power 'fro, and expressions like "this is a honkey's paradise" as merely signs of the time, there is something kind of disturbing about how Nevillethe powerful, martyred white manuses his strong, WASP blood to save the "sinners"namely, the fls and the hippies. |
