SILENT RUNNING (1972).
⭐⭐⭐⭐

For some reason, this film was never on my radar, until recently. Wound up buying a DVD rather than rewarding our corporate overlords' stranglehold on culture.

What a melancholy, somber film. Having been alive in the 1960s, I can see where this film comes from—it's an extrapolation of the then-current and now ongoing battle between ecologists and corporations, to a final resolution. It's The Lorax, as a sci-fi film.

Douglas Trumbull's Silent Running was released 54 years ago today.

"In a future where all flora is extinct, only a few specimens have been preserved in a fleet of space greenhouses."

A sci-fi classic that shouldn't be missed. Bruce Dern was fantastic as Freeman Lowell👌

The #SilentRunning ship is stunning! Peak 1960s/70s scifi design.

I even marked the day (it was in 2024)! The only way I got through it was by thinking "I am Freeman Lowell. I'm doing this for the future and for wildlife (and for food security)." I sometimes have to throw myself into a "role" to focus and get things done...

You ever feel like you forget everything you are working on for a few days after work? Like all you can do is to eat, watch something, then sleep. When what you really want to do with your time is work on something you really want to work on instead?

Yea... Been feeling like that for a whole.

Getting grounded = getting inspired:

Watch #Number24 on #netflix about how #Oslo became a pain in the ass for #Nazis in the 1940s.

#ProjectX on #cbcgem on how Canadians helped the French underground in #wwii.

#PaulGross's movies about #America taking over #Canada, for #water.

Those declassified #cia documents on #sabotage and #counterinsurgency: @simple_sabotage

And #MikeandtheMechanics 1980s video #SilentRunning": https://youtu.be/i17mgRK3GX8?si=DjWcUKVfdalriDdq

Not seen #reddawn in years. Does it hold up?

This week, John and Eugene look at the 1972 film Silent Running.

They discuss the naming order of Huey, Dewey, and Louie, does Eugene find the film as boring now as he did as a child in the 1970s, and how much of a monster is Freeman Lowell for murdering a robot?

#SilentRunning (1972)

Two fictional characters that I've identified with for many, many years... The first one is #FreemanLowell from the movie #SilentRunning, an astronaut and gardener who tries to preserve what's left of what used to be life on Earth -- housed in domes in space. The second character is #RayFlowers / #RaeFlowers from #TheStand -- a radio DJ who reports on what's going on, even though the government is trying to shut them down. (I'm trying not to have spoilers -- let me know if I've not succeeded). I still feel like both of those characters to this day -- trying to save nature around me, and attempting to report on what's going on in the midst of #polycrisis. And yes, the government did try and shut this instance down. Things are feeling very dystopian right now...

As I'm reminded of the movie Silent Running, and it's ecological themes I feel a need for some explicitly Solarpunk movies to be made. Enough Superheroes, Solarpunk is in ascendance, Capitalism must die!

@RebelGeek99 Makes me think of Huey, Dewey and Louie from #SilentRunning! (Which were the names of my first 3 budgies.)

Organized the "seed vault" today. Threw out anything that had gotten moldy or was too old. I have some treasured heirloom seeds tucked away in sealed containers just in case (beans, corn, sunflowers, etc.). Hopefully this year, my black #walnut tree will start producing walnuts. The "mother tree" was one fully acclimated to #Maine. I've manage to keep alive a few #HeirloomPlants -- including strongly scented #lilacs, that I've rooted and planted in other locations. I've always idolized #FreemanLowell from #SilentRunning -- trying to keep my little corner of the universe green and full of food for the local wildlife.
