      Blue sky record

      Minister really long film but the film music everywhere reveals a little child, they also look very natural and relaxed feel
      like those little joke among pilots like to help each other astronauts look like there will be quarrels should be entrusted to friend
      John Glenn’s support of his wife really made me happy. And that whimsical sleeping Gordon challenged the blue sky, Igor and his partner who must eat gum before boarding the plane haha ​​yes they all have unique personalities It’s...

      Space Pioneer

      Based on the true stories of the first astronauts in U.S. history to enter space, they are Alan Shepard, Goss Grison, John Granny, Scott Carpenter, Gordon Cooper and others, a total of seven heroes. The film describes in detail the birth process of the US space program and the historical story of the birth of the first astronauts. I have seen it I have seen it I have seen it I have seen it I have seen it I have seen it I have seen it I have seen it I have seen it I have seen it I have seen it I...

      Vanguard pioneer

      There are only two kinds of people who have always made my blood boil: knights and pilots. The pilots of the two world wars were like knights in the sky, fought over the cruel and dirty ground battlefield. The meaningless war itself, because of their existence, seemed to be more like a gentleman's duel. After the end of World War II, the advent of missiles and jet fighters made wars that could have been noble and tragic and degenerate into a game of deadly politicians. Only the pilot...

      From scarlet sky to starry sky

      I found that in many places, people's attitude towards talents is that Ye Gong is good for dragons. I shouted how to look for talents, but when I really use people, I always like to find people who are easy to manipulate, some people who are inferior to my own ability, and the result is that the generation is not as good as the generation. The steel king Carnegie once wrote an epitaph for himself: "People who lie here know how to make people around them smarter than themselves." As everyone...

      True pioneer

      Regardless of the performance and content of historical films, the story itself is a series of great deeds of humans breaking through the limits. Whether it is the sound barrier pioneer Yege or the astronaut Glenn Shepard Cooper, they are the pioneers of American astronauts. The interesting thing is that the first A Chuck Yege who broke through the sound barrier also appeared in the film. The old man in his 80s appeared as an old bartender teasing himself because he was not selected as an...

      Although it is a "farce" in the stage of competing with the former Soviet Union for space power, but seeing the efforts and dedication of so many people for the sky they love, I am still moved by a little. I still don't understand the "sound barrier". ....

      2007.9.19 Very good documentary film---The original US Mercury 7 astronauts and their macho, seat-of-the-pants approach to the space program.

      Sam Shepard came out of a cloud of black smoke in the desert and was moved to tears! Although that period of history was more about the competition of great powers, it still allowed mankind to take a big step forward. Continuing to look up at the starry sky is a serious...

      Mercury plans to shoot for 3 hours, no problem. Under the background of the main melody, the characters are still vivid and full, and they do not fall into the stereotype of facial expressions. The editing, soundtrack and visual effects are all excellent. Compared with the successful seven warriors, Yeager, who drives a fighter jet to constantly challenge the limits of human flight, is the embodiment of idealism... The same theme strongly promotes NASA's 50th anniversary...

      The main theme story, but the template is used to the extreme, and the details are excellent. Ed Harris played a Captain America, and Dennis Quaid was really sunny and handsome when he was...

    Background creation

    Many years before the release of " Apollo 13 ", the film had first filmed the training process of the first batch of The United States of America moon exploration heroes. The production was serious, and the photography and soundtrack were particularly excellent. The director compares exaggeration and realism to each other, using delicate techniques to describe astronauts, but uses thick lines to portray other characters to create...
