This "anti-heroic" American film shows its unique value

I am very glad that the film did not choose to make Armstrong an "American hero", a "cool movie" that "everyone" wants to see.

...

From a very humane point of view, the director narrates the individual sacrifices of individuals, families and even the country, working together towards the same lofty goal - landing on the moon.

Before Armstrong went to heaven, the "emergency statement" Nassar gave them was just about chasing words, and suddenly moved: "Fate has ordained that the men who went to the Moon to explore in peace will stay on the Moon to rest in peace. These brave men, Neil Armstrong and Edwin Aldrin, know that there is no hope for their recovery. But they also know that there is hope for mankind in their sacrifice. … They will be mourned by their families. They will be mourned by a Mother Earth that dared send two of her sons into the unknown. For every human being who looks up at the Moon in the nights to come will know that there is some corner of another world that is forever mankind."

Although it was not filmed as "American Wolf Warrior", although it was not well received by the American people (American populism?) because it was not filmed as "American Wolf Warrior", and even Mr. Trump tweeted criticism, although because it was not filmed as "American Warrior Wolf" "And the film misses the Oscar director and misses the opportunity to consecrate the gods,,,, but this is the artistic value of this biopic.

I think that rather than making you the public, the Oscar judges, and the big capitalists happy, I, like the director, hope that the Armstrong presented is really what his family thinks he is. He is not the hero you take for granted, he is an ordinary A person, a person who has withstood all kinds of challenges and pressures and lived up to the expectations of his family and the country, is not so much for granted.

You America is not our China.

Family is where a country starts and this is what we called America.

(Plus, the Oscars have long since become a colosseum for politicians and capitalists.)
