I believe we are in an ancestor simulation.. and that the future send ideas for all sorts of things from technological discoveries, to movie ideas,as a way to tell us whats really going on.
This film must have influenced my young life in a big way, love plants, osciloscopes, robots, saturn, space, garden domes with plants in & some how different from the people around me, one day i would love to see the drone in a museum and speak to someone how worked on this film " Number 1 on my bucket list." I always think fondly about it.
Doug's imagining of the UFOs in Close encounters made a huge impression on me. Even though you saw them you didn't really see them . One of the most unique original interpretations of the UFO mythology
When did Douglas Trumbull finish working on Silent Running? I know the movie was released in March 1972, but when was it mostly finished, and why do some places say it was released on January 1st 1971?
It was filmed in February and March of 1971, and I read somewhere the effects took eight months by themselves. So, that would put completion around November of 1971 (and the film was copyrighted in 1971, so that ads up).
one of my favorite films from the 70's, I think of it fondly and often.
One of the few films that always makes me cry…..great film.

So sad Doug is no longer with us. Love listening to him. A true visionary
Great movie with Bruce Dern. I really loved the three drones Dewey, Huey and Louis. Only decades later I found out how they did that. Amazing.....

A beautiful film.
A great director and the real master of visual effects.

I saw this when I was around 7 y/o and cried my eyes out.
there is a pop culture museum someplace in the southwest that has one of the domes on display.
