As is my habit, I showed my Environmental Science class Soylent Green. It can open up discussion on class system, poverty, wealth, population. Once a student challenged me on the blurb about how many people lived in New York and we did a geometric progression.
At the reveal scene, students flinched, as normal; cries of "That's so wrong."
I had to stop the film for it to settle in. Once student, horrified of it. "What does it taste like?" I died laughing.
(okay his real question was "didn't people notice that it tasted like meat?")
