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 camera angle. At the beginning, Armstrong was still a pilot, and the visual spectacle brought by his proximity to the edge of the atmosphere was enough to attract the audience to watch it. In this feeling, the sense of authenticity is very important to make it different from movies of the same theme and more touching. The first half of the film focuses on Armstrong's own heart. The character's image is not a typical Hollywood character, calm and introverted, so there is no star change in this film to provide dramatic tension. It is also for this reason that the first half of the show is not outstanding in terms of viewing, but it still maintains a sense of reality, which is also impossible for typical Hollywood characters. As such a biographical film, I prefer this treatment. Maybe the director is still not bold enough, and the foreshadowing is still not enough. Since the movie is "The First Man on the Moon", it is understandable to tell more about his private life. Maybe the impact on the family and the death of his daughter will be given more shape in the first half, and the movie will appear more thickness. In the second half of the film, they began to face technical challenges and repeatedly encountered dangers in space, and the viewing experience suddenly improved. Coupled with some plots from the perspective of the times and the family, there are many plots that are impressive. Black people rap in the streets, slamming the big money for the space program; Armstrong bids farewell to his two children at the behest of his wife, and leaders on the other side practice prepared post-failure eulogy. The film's values actually celebrate the achievements of the United States in space exploration. In fact, the real space competition is far more complicated than it is presented. The film chooses the point of view of a purer explorer who is fighting for it, and they are indeed worthy of respect.
