      can be more daring

      Armstrong, the first person to land on the moon in human history, has a vision for exploring the universe that determined him to become an astronaut and take on greater responsibilities than family and death. The film "First Man on the Moon" is different from similar themes in recent years in showing the flying landscape, and tends to be realistic. Basically, it uses the driver's cabin perspective accompanied by severe vibration, and the perspective of the aircraft fuselage to simulate the...

      Only cruel reality can pile up that plump ideal

      Only the cruel reality of "First Man on the Moon" can pile up that plump ideal. The film tells the whole process of the legendary Neil Armstrong, who became the first man on the moon between 1961 and 1969. As a biopic of a character, the director shoots a completely different angle from other aviation themed films. There are no cool and high-end aviation facilities here, no lofty motivation to serve the country and the people, only the characters' inner struggles and within reach....

      A completely different moon landing

      The movie ends under a scene that is quite puzzling at first glance.

      When Armstrong returned from the moon landing and was still in isolation, his wife Janet came to see him accompanied by several officials. Janet was dressed very formally, with a suit jacket, stiletto heels, and hardly any overjoy or excitement on her calm face. She came silently, facing her husband's palm under the glass barrier, and a few seconds of eye contact was the end of the movie.

      Extremely implicit...

      "The First Man on the Moon" raises doubts about the authenticity of the human landing on the moon, and the moon remains highly mysterious to this day

      Nearly 50 years have passed since the Apollo program. Although the moon has been conquered by humans, as time goes by, the moon has become more and more mysterious.

      The release of "The First Man on the Moon" this year is of great significance to the United States. For this reason, Da Cong wrote an in-depth analysis and extension of the film, hoping that everyone can find some fun in it.

      The same director born in the 1985s has "landed the moon", and we are still "on the earth"!

      It has been 46 years since the last time humans landed on the moon. During this time, legends, hypotheses, and conspiracy theories are rampant. At the same time, literature, movies, and music about humanity and the universe are inseparable. Every now and then, I would look up at the stars like I did as a child, and wonder if there would be a species as lonely as we are. As Liu Cixin said: Information technology is developing at an unimaginable speed, and the network covers the entire world. In...

      Such a feat as the moon landing, of course, must stand on a higher level of human vision, and the details of Armstrong's insertion of the Stars and Stripes are not presented, so that the film does not fall into the cliché of patriotism in the...

      A humble and low-key story of a great man who has completed the record without leaking in the ten years since he landed on the moon, so it is neat and smooth and has a lot of craftsmanship. The pain of losing his daughter, the loss of his colleagues, and the doubts from all over the country, he finally carried on the burden to complete this unimaginable mission. The last 30 minutes really caught the eye, the majestic soundtrack and the almost breath-like restoration of the moon landing, and I...

      Abandoning the visual spectacle of space and focusing on people, this creative direction is right, and all the editing, POV and close-up are also approaching this goal. When the mirror reflects the outline of the moon, what we see is no longer the heroic stalwart, but the ordinary human...

      It's still life under pressure where Damien is good at performance, and the rivalry he's equally good at is reflected in the Cold War background. The lift-off in the middle is completely limited to the perspective of astronauts, and the space theme is almost made into a horror movie. It is also very good for the life of his wife and other astronauts in the shadow of death. With a realistic background, heroism can be highlighted. Looking forward to our future shooting of pilots and fighters can...

    The director’s skills and Ryan Gosling’s introverted performance make this seemingly calm and contemplative film infectious and instinctively tense. The film’s suspense and spaceship scenes are very brilliant; this inspiring film Realistic movies give the audience a sense of physical roughness. This is a horror and oppressive drama; it allows the audience to experience the dangers of Armstrong’s landing on the moon; Damien Chazele...

    Negative evaluation

    The film is worthy of respect and even admiration, but the director always tells the audience what an important and valuable thing Neil Armstrong is doing. This is the problem. The movie focuses too much on a low-key hero in reality. ("Time Magazine" review)

    Movie quotes

    • Neil Armstrong: That's one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind.

    • Neil Armstrong: I don't know what space exploration will uncover, but I don't think it'll be exploration just for the sake of exploration. I think it'll be more the fact that it allows us to see things. That maybe we should have seen a long time ago. But just haven't been able to until now.

    • Deke Slayton: Why do you think space flight is important?

      Neil Armstrong: I had a few opportunities in the X-15 to observe the atmosphere. It was so thin, such a small part of the Earth that you could barely see it at all. And when you're down here in the crowd and you look up, it looks pretty big and you don't think about it too much. But when you get a different vantage point it changes your perspective.
