I watched this movie for an art history class and it’s considered an important movie politically due to environmentalist message. At the time environmentalism wasn’t basically movie short-hand for, “this is a black and white moral conflict obviously the environmentalists are the good guys” though obviously that’s how they are portrayed in the Silent Running. There’s was also a popular environmentalist book call Silent Spring, that was incorporated into the movie’s name. Also shut up Joan Baez is the shit.

"Silent Spring" is also a key theme in The Three-Body Problem. There's a Netflix adaptation coming later this year, but if you search around, there's a recent Chinese version (subtitles are available) that follows the book very closely: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt20242042/?ref_=nv_sr_srsg_0_tt_8_nm_0_q_three-body https://www.imdb.com/title/tt20242042/?ref_=nv_sr_srsg_0_tt_...
