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.

@ColesStreetPothole I've somehow never seen this but it always sounded great. Need to look out for the dvd
@internetsdairy
I have two DVDs, but one is for region 2 (long story). If you can play region 2 DVDs, I'll mail it to you, if you want.
@ColesStreetPothole ah thank you, I'm not sure what regions our player does; I'm sure I'll see it in Cex at some point!
