Silent Running (1972)

In the future, Bruce Dern is a gardener aboard a spacecraft and he’s incredibly dedicated to his job. I’d been wanting to watch this for awhile and I wasn’t disappointed. The spacecraft has a fabulous set design reminiscent of 2001: A Space Odyssey, unsurprising considering the time period. Dern was perfectly cast for his role. I wasn’t prepared for the emotional reaction I’d have for the film’s conclusion; I’m still feeling sad for poor Dewey.
