Review of Silent Running (1972) by Randy T — 21 Nov 2009
70's environmentalism set to science fiction underscored with Joan Baez tunes. Similar to John Carpenter's hippies in space epic, Dark Star, but much more serious. Bruce Dern is fantastic as the psychotic botanist who commandeers an orbital greenhouse in order to save earth's last remaining trees, bunnies and cantaloupes.
Though dated, Silent Running is still engrossing and germane. Very green, with a small carbon footprint. :).
