Silent Running intro

This is the profoundly delicate and sensitive title sequence that draws you into the world of "Silent Running" and it's desperate message about preserving life on Earth. It painted a bleak picture of the future that may have served as a useful wake up call in 1972 if only more people listened.

NOTE-In 6 feet under the hero asks what the robots represented. they were just supposed to be walking refrig's, NOT TV's. The hero read to much into them. But later lowel is lonely and he turns them into companions.

@ghostmanlostsoul Six feet under, only just finished watching it and still reeling from it , raised the bar and just kept going. I felt very aligned with Arthur and Silent Running, ...which is a little disturbing.

The entire human population would not even fill a square kilometer on the face of the earth so it is hard to imagine we can really have a devastating impact on the planet. Who really knows for sure.

kurosawa and Ozu said that this was the best American film ever made. Not faint praise!

Draw your children to your side. Enjoy life.

Beautiful and artistic photography in the intro,,, and Kurosawa was right, this is one of the best and I'd say most underrated American films ever.

This music brings back memories of a time when life was easier. Somehow more magical. No more magic in life any more.

@upajos LOL uh I don't do as I said degree to degree much less discuss something I've NOT looked into, much less have an interest in. I leave that to the 'grunts' like you and by the way I have a 'great' job.

@MrLatinmuscl Nobel Prize? So what? Barack Obama got a Nobel Prize for ... doing nothing. Al Gore got an Oscar for his movie "An Inconvenient Truth", which has been shown to be rife with errors and outright falsifications. I wouldn't be so quick to brag; it could be detrimental to one's job prospects. Now, with all your degrees (or in spite of them), tell us what you know about feedback control theory.

[MrLatinmuscl]

@upajos LOL you JUST made my 'point', you don't THINK, you DONT do anything but rely on your ( so called) brains and Im NOT going to go degree to degree with you altho I think my nomination for the nobel prize one year TRUMPS anything YOU got. I have MORE education behind me than that HUGE you know what YOU have. Apparently you just SIT on YOUR brains. It's useless 'attempting' to intelligently 'discuss' something of THIS magnitude with someone who does NOT understand and you sir DONT.

@MrLatinmuscl I don't need any lectures from tree-huggers who flunked out of high-school science classes, or avoided taking the classes altogether. As an engineer, I work with something called control system theory. Feedback control systems can do remarkable things, yet they are not alive. The Earth is a large feedback control system, powered by the Sun. Yes, MrLatinmuscl, LEARN before you talk.

[MrLatinmuscl]

@upajos There is the 'planet' that is 'alive' and gives us warmth and shelter and food. Were it not for the earth 'we' would NOT be here. Think before you speak. Learn before you talk. Open your eyes and SEE what we see......
