Silent Running 1972
The Earth. A big huge thriving planet of living people and animals. Journeying into Silent Running I felt so many emotions that honestly were so strong I started to understand the importance of nature and humanity. I felt through Lowell the intense need to protect mother nature and at Earth’s core which is important for survival, using the senses, and even imagination. I was shocked throughout the whole film! Imagining this world without REAL food or REAL nature really puts me on edge. The wonderful beauty of Earth and what it gives is something God has given all of us as something to enjoy, admire, for what it is and gives to us in return. Nature is real, we can touch it, smell it, eat some of it, and compared to anything synthetic it then becomes something “unrecognizable” in the sense of the world ending. For example, a synthetic flower you see at stores it could feel like one but what do you smell? I realized most importantly what about imagination of the human mind? Imagination is a wonderful thing for any young child as it brings creativity and wonder, dreams of success, and discovery. Children like to discover, they are curious and what would there be there to learn about Earth if there was nothing left of it? The Earth, that we smart intellectual beings populate, say is dying, isn’t it our fault we don’t care enough to take care of it? The Earth is what we live on and some of us don’t care one bit! Honestly if I were never to touch or smell flowers, trees, the grass etc. it would never compare to what’s fake. In a way it’s hard to explain as Earth’s beauty is too wonderful just to want to destroy it. It provides food for us in return for what we grow…..like in a way it’s thanking us. Including the sun, without it, were would humanity be? The sun is what keeps us and nature living and growing. The world still needs to be discovered but without Earth what will there be left to discover? So I ask the question to me and others, are we protecting Earth and ourselves or are we destroying HUMANITY for the sake of “progress”?
