Different from the previous biographical films that embodied the American spirit through heroism, the feeling after watching "First Man on the Moon" is not the dripping of high mental tension, but the relief of finally letting go of the obsession.
At the beginning of the film, Armstrong's daughter Karen dies. Although Armstrong fought hard not to reveal his grief from any openings, when alone, the grief overwhelmed the barriers of reason and burst into tears. After the emotional catharsis, Armstrong diverted his attention through the development of the Gemini project and trained desperately to become an astronaut. Perhaps, Armstrong, who hopes to go into space, just wants to know whether there is a heaven beyond the firmament of the earth, and whether Karen, who embodies the deep father's love, has rested in the paradise of heaven.
Throughout the film, Armstrong, immersed in his mourning for Karen, appears reticent, and to his wife and his two sons, he conceals his fear of separation with his indifference to his two sons. So much so that on the eve of the moon landing, under the impact of the sacrifices of his teammates, Armstrong said that he did not dare to face the separation from his wife and children.
Armstrong in the film looks at the moon with a telescope more than once. It seems like a fanaticism, but he is actually pursuing it. He also knows that there may not be a heaven that people yearn for on the moon that gives light in the dark, but when he saw the gray spherical surface of the moon with his own eyes and tears filled his eyes, he finally set himself up to be free from all shackles In the light and warmth of , let the imprint of human beings in the light become eternal through the retention of Karen bracelet.
Finally, I would like to talk about the back music and camera control of this film. There is only one main melody in the whole film, but in different scenes, through different timbres and rhythms, it can echo the first place just right, making this film in the lens language. In addition, it has a musical-like melody and language; in addition, the whole film (especially the space part) is super attractive, so that the audience will be deeply attracted no matter what angle they are in, and make their thoughts Out of body in a vast universe.
Armstrong, the first person to land on the moon, is also a mortal. The director focuses on Armstrong's personal "one step" in human history, starting from the causes and consequences of his "small step", making a main theme movie full of mortal temperature. At the end of the film, Armstrong and his wife looked at each other through the glass, and they kissed his wife's heart through Armstrong's fingers through the glass. It has also completed a big leap in human technology.
The first person is also mortal, but mortals are often the most able to achieve miracles.
