movie review: The Omega Man
How was an old ass Charlton Heston such the hunky action hero of the 70's??
The Omaga Man stars ol' Chuck and I enjoyed the film quite a bit.
Basically, Chuck thinks he is the last healthy man alive after some chemical warfare destroyed the USA. It has something to do with commies but that wasn't clear.
The whole film is essentially a right-wing critique on civilization.
The bad guys are a hippy 'anti-civ' zombie cult and out to kill 'the man' to punish him for science and war. It goes to show that you really can't trust those manipulative radicals.
Even when Chuck's character is watching the concert film Woodstock, it shows clips that appear to be optimistically naive in a social Darwinistic world.
In the end, science wins out over anarchy or lunacy whichever you prefer but only after a blatantly Christian allegory.
This film is based on the novel I Am Legend and the film Last Man On Earth.
A new film based on the novel and The Omega Man starring Will Smith is coming soon.
