"The First Man on the Moon" is extremely personal and romantic with a score of 7.5. I went to the moon just to keep the memory of you there.
——————Slight spoilers——————
Chazelle's first film out of jazz was a biopic, and "First Man" is my best biopic of 2018. Having abandoned the patriotic theme like "Apollo 13" and the spectacle without better special effects, Chazelle did not use the perspective of the country, nor the perspective of the family. Returning to the most personal point of view also makes the whole movie more like a death movie. The selection of the text angle makes people have to admire.
When it comes to Chazelle, I have to mention the soundtrack of the film. The soundtrack of the film and the space capsule scheduling of the photography have increased the tension of the film. Without the jazz cheer, a more muffled soundtrack and a mild mourning tone throughout the film.
My favorite two passages in the movie, Armstrong, played by Commander High, shakes hands with his eldest son when he bids farewell to his family. This handling makes people feel the shock directly, which is also Chazelle's unique understanding of handling family relations. The other part is also the key part of the film, which is the part where Commander High leaves his daughter's bracelet on the moon. This very romanticized treatment is very good.
Without the depression and outbursts such as "Booming Drummer", and weakening the color and joy of "La La Land", this "First Man on the Moon" is even more dull. The good thing about this film is that understanding and rationality are needed. of.
